How to export your N26 transactions as a CSV

Free guide · updated 2026-11-08

In the N26 app, open My Account, choose Download statement and pick CSV with a start and end date. N26's own help puts the CSV in the web app: open the download icon, choose CSV, set the start and end dates and click Download CSV. The PDF statements in the app are monthly and meant for reading; the CSV is the list a spreadsheet or budgeting app can work with.

How do I export my N26 transactions, step by step?

In the N26 app (the route Tally's instructions give):

  1. Open the app and go to My Account.
  2. Choose Download statement.
  3. Choose CSV and the dates.
  4. Download and save the file to Files.

In the N26 web app (the route N26's help describes):

  1. Log in to the web app in a browser.
  2. Click the download icon.
  3. Under CSV, choose the start and end dates.
  4. Click Download CSV.

N26 has changed where the CSV lives more than once. If the app offers you only PDF statements, the web app is where to look; this may have changed since Tally's instructions were written.

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

The CSV has a header row. Newer files use columns such as Booking Date, Value Date, Partner Name, Partner Iban, Type, Payment Reference, Account Name, Amount (EUR), Original Amount, Original Currency and Exchange Rate. Older files say Date and Payee instead. Dates are written 2026-09-01, amounts use a decimal point, and money out carries a minus sign.

How far back: you pick the dates yourself, and N26 does not publish a fixed limit we could confirm. If an early start date is refused, export in shorter pieces.

What usually goes wrong with an N26 export?

  • You only find PDFs. The monthly statements in the app are PDFs. The CSV is a separate download, in the web app if not in the app.
  • Moves between Spaces. Money moved between your main account and a Space can appear as money out and money in. It is not spending.
  • Foreign card payments. Amount (EUR) is what left your account; Original Amount and Original Currency are what the shop charged. Add up the euro column, not the original one.
  • Old and new files side by side. The column names changed, so a spreadsheet built for one layout may not read the other.

How do I import my N26 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 recognises an N26 export from its Amount (EUR) column together with Partner Name or Payee, in both the old and the new layout. It takes the booking date, the partner's name as the description (or the payment reference when the name is empty) and the euro amount.
  5. Review the preview and tap Import.

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 N26 directly: its direct bank connection works only with US banks, so the file N26 gives you is the way in.

Common questions

Can I download an N26 CSV in the app?

Tally's instructions give My Account, Download statement, CSV in the app. N26's own help describes the CSV in the web app, under the download icon. If the app shows only PDFs, use the web app.

Which amount column should I use in an N26 CSV?

Amount (EUR). It is what actually left or reached your account. The original amount and currency are there for reference on foreign payments.

Does Tally read the older N26 CSV layout?

Yes. Tally recognises both the newer layout with Booking Date and Partner Name and the older one with Date and Payee.

Can Tally connect to N26 directly?

No. Tally's direct bank connection works only with US banks. For N26, Tally reads the CSV file you download.
