Import AMEX, PayPal, Stripe and Mollie into Moneybird

Importing payment providers into Moneybird

Moneybird is a popular online accounting package for freelancers and small business owners in the Netherlands. Moneybird accepts bank statements in MT940 and CAMT.053 format via Bankzaken > Bankafschriften > Importeren. CSV and Excel files from payment providers are not directly supported for bank statement import.

Note: Moneybird can be strict about MT940 headers. The file must contain valid header information, including a correct IBAN and statement number. StatementBridge generates MT940 files that are compatible with Moneybird.

AMEX (American Express)

American Express provides transaction statements as a CSV file. You download this via your AMEX account under Statements > Download. The CSV file contains columns such as date, description, amount and reference number. Moneybird cannot import this CSV file directly — conversion to MT940 or CAMT.053 is required.

ICS (Visa/Mastercard)

ICS processes credit card transactions for Visa and Mastercard in the Netherlands. ICS offers statements as PDF or CSV. You can download the CSV export via Mijn ICS. PDF statements can be processed with the AI extraction feature of StatementBridge (Pro). After conversion to MT940, you import the file into Moneybird.

PayPal

PayPal provides transaction statements as a CSV file. You download this via Activity > Download Reports on paypal.com. Note: PayPal exports contain columns such as Gross, Fee and Net. Use the Gross column as the amount for the full transaction value. After conversion to MT940, you import the file into Moneybird via Bankzaken > Bankafschriften > Importeren.

Stripe

Stripe offers payout reports and transaction data as a CSV file via the Stripe Dashboard under Payments > All transactions > Export, or via Balance > Payouts. Stripe CSV files contain columns such as Created, Amount, Fee and Description. After conversion to MT940 or CAMT.053, you can import the Stripe transactions into Moneybird.

Mollie

Mollie offers settlements and payment overviews as a CSV file via the Mollie Dashboard under Finances > Exports. Mollie exports contain columns such as Created at, Amount, Method and Description. After conversion to MT940, you can import the Mollie transactions into Moneybird.

Conversion in 5 steps

1. Export from the payment provider: download the CSV or Excel file from your AMEX, ICS, PayPal, Stripe or Mollie account.
2. Upload to StatementBridge: go to StatementBridge and upload the file.
3. Map the columns: assign the columns to the correct fields (date, amount, description, reference). Enter the IBAN of the bank account in Moneybird.
4. Export as MT940 or CAMT.053: choose the desired output format and click Convert.
5. Import into Moneybird: go to Bankzaken > Bankafschriften > Importeren and select the converted file.

Common problems and solutions

Problem	Cause	Solution
"Bank account not found"	The IBAN in the MT940 file does not match a bank account in Moneybird	Add the bank account in Moneybird via Bankzaken with the correct IBAN, or adjust the IBAN during conversion
"Invalid MT940 file"	Moneybird expects valid MT940 headers with a correct IBAN and statement number	Use StatementBridge for the conversion — the generated files contain valid headers
"Invalid file format"	The CSV file was uploaded directly into Moneybird	Moneybird does not accept CSV for bank statement import. Convert to MT940 or CAMT.053 first via StatementBridge
Duplicate transactions	The same period was imported multiple times	Check the statement numbers. Moneybird can detect duplicates based on date and amount
Amounts are incorrect (PayPal)	The Net column was used instead of Gross	Use the Gross column for the full transaction amount. Book PayPal fees separately
Header error during import	The MT940 file is missing required header information	Check that the IBAN and account name are correctly filled in during conversion in StatementBridge
