The details

For when you want to know exactly how it behaves.

Why a dedicated importer beats a generic CSV converter

Budgie imports Erste Bank statements from the PDF you download in George, the Erste online banking. It is built around the Erste Bank Austria statement layout and handles EUR accounts.

From each statement Budgie reads the account's IBAN and closing balance, and every transaction line with its date, amount and reference text. Card payments keep their city and country, and ATM withdrawals are recognised as cash withdrawals.

Statement lines that still have no category wait in the Categorize inbox, grouped by merchant with suggestions from your past choices.

How it works

Start a new account and choose Erste Bank. In George, open Account → Statements and download the statement as a PDF, then pick that file in Budgie. Budgie lists the accounts it finds in the statement, you switch on the ones you want, and their transactions are imported.

Questions

Which Erste statements are supported?

PDF statements for EUR accounts at Erste Bank Austria, downloaded from George under Account → Statements.

Will Budgie get my IBAN right?

Yes — the IBAN is read from the statement header and stored on the account.

Can I re-import the same PDF safely?

Yes. Transactions you already imported are recognised, so re-importing skips known rows and adds only new ones.

Does it need an internet connection?

Only to download the PDF from George. Reading the statement happens entirely on your device — it never leaves your phone.
