How to export your AIB transactions as a CSV

How do I export my AIB transactions, step by step?

1. Sign in to AIB Internet Banking on a computer, not the app.
2. Go to Accounts and choose the account.
3. Open Recent Transactions.
4. For more than the default three months, use Search to set the dates you want.
5. Click Export and choose CSV.

AIB also has a Historical Transactions option in the Accounts menu for older history. If a menu name has changed, AIB's help pages on exporting and historical transactions describe the current route.

What file do I get, and how far back does it go?

The CSV has a header row with columns such as Posted Account, Posted Transactions Date, Description1, Description2, Description3, Debit Amount, Credit Amount, Balance, Posted Currency and Transaction Type. Money out and money in sit in two separate columns, both written without a sign. Dates are day first, as in 01/09/2026.

How far back: Recent Transactions shows three months by default, and Search reaches further. The app shows around two years but has no export.

What usually goes wrong with an AIB export?

• Looking in the app. The app has no export. Use Internet Banking on a computer.
• Only three months. That is the default view, not the limit. Search for the dates first, then export.
• Debits and credits in two columns. Add up one column and you get only half the story. Make a single column where debits are negative before you total anything.
• Dates read the American way. A spreadsheet set to US dates turns 03/04/2026 into March 4 instead of 3 April. Import with the day first.
• The merchant is split. Description1 holds most of it, but Description2 and Description3 sometimes carry the rest.

How do I import my AIB file into Tally?

1. Save the file to Files, iCloud Drive or Downloads on your iPhone.
2. In Tally, tap your profile at the top left, then Money, then Import a statement.
3. Tap Choose a file and pick the file.
4. Tally maps AIB's columns on its own from their headings: the date, Description1 as the description, and Debit Amount and Credit Amount as money out and money in. Change any that look wrong on the mapping screen.
5. Review the preview and tap Import.

Whether 03/04/2026 is 3 April or 4 March is decided once for the whole file, from the file's own dates; when nothing in the file settles it, Tally shows how it read a sample date and lets you switch.

Tally reads the file on your iPhone. From each row it keeps only the date, the description, the amount and the currency. Anything already in Tally is skipped, and importing the same file again adds nothing. Tally does not connect to AIB directly: its direct bank connection works only with US banks, so the file AIB gives you is the way in.
