Moving from Mint to Wallet by BudgetBakers
Assembled from both records. Nothing here is an opinion — it is the difference between two rows, written out.
Your data — read this first
Mint has been discontinued. If you exported your transactions while you could, Wallet by BudgetBakers imports transaction history, so what you exported comes with you.
- Transactions
- Yes
- Balance history
- ?
- Budgets
- Rebuilt by hand
- Rules
- Rebuilt by hand
- Attachments

Transactions, balance history and attachments are Wallet by BudgetBakers’s own import attributes. Budgets and rules never transfer between two apps in this index.

How to do it
- Find your Mint export
The product is gone, so the file you already have is the only history that moves. Without one, skip to step 3 and accept a shorter history.
- Get the file into a format Wallet by BudgetBakers reads
Its record lists CSV · Excel · OFX. If your export is something else, a spreadsheet can usually re-save it as CSV.
- Import before you connect anything
Import the file first. Connecting banks first creates duplicates that then have to be merged one by one.
- Connect accounts
Find out which of your banks fail before you are billed. Wallet by BudgetBakers reaches banks through an unrecorded connector. Banks named most often in Wallet by BudgetBakers’s 50 most recent App Store reviews: Robinhood (2) — read what they say before you connect those first.
- Rebuild budgets and rules
No app in this index imports another’s budgets or rules. Budgets are quick; rules are worth rebuilding as transactions arrive rather than all at once.
