Step 1: Download the statement from Hypo Vorarlberg

  1. Log in to Hypo Vorarlberg’s E-Banking.
  2. Open the account whose transactions you want to post.
  3. Choose the export function for the account transactions and CSV as the format.
  4. Set the desired period and download the file.

Step 2: Import the file into importly

  1. Open the entries table in importly.
  2. Drag the file anywhere onto the page. The import opens automatically.
  3. importly shows you the detected format – for a Hypo Vorarlberg statement, Hypo Vorarlberg Bank is at the top. If something doesn’t match, pick a different format in the Detected format field or create a new template via Create / edit template.
  4. Select your bank account from the chart of accounts, for example 1020.
  5. Check the preview and click Import.

If your table already contains rows, importly asks whether the new entries should be appended or the existing ones replaced.

The sign is resolved into debit and credit: when money comes in, your bank account is in Debit; when money goes out, in Credit. importly leaves the contra account empty – you set it in the table or through your rules.

The statement lists incoming and outgoing payments in one amount column with a sign. importly converts that into debit and credit.

Two things to note: the amounts appear with a decimal comma in the statement (-40,51), and the entries are usually in euros. If you post in CHF, you need an exchange rate for these rows – importly adds it during the import using the monthly average rate.

Adjusting document number and description

The two pattern fields in the import window let you decide what ends up in the description and document number. When you click into the field, importly suggests the available values as placeholders. importly remembers your setting for your next Hypo Vorarlberg import.

If something doesn’t work

importly doesn’t recognize the format Check that you downloaded the CSV file and not the PDF. importly cannot read PDF statements. If the file is correct and still nothing is recognized, you can send it to us directly from the import window – we’ll add the format.

Umlauts are displayed incorrectly Don’t open the file in Excel and don’t re-save it – import it exactly as you downloaded it. Hypo Vorarlberg delivers the file in an older character encoding that importly reads correctly – Excel often rewrites it when saving.

Rows are missing The export is limited to the selected period. An import can contain at most 5,000 rows.

Amounts end up on the wrong side This happens when the wrong bank account was selected. The debit-credit decision depends solely on the sign in the statement and the selected bank account.
