Quicken does not open Microsoft Money files, and converting them used to need Money itself
installed on a Windows PC. This page converts the .mny file to QIF, the transaction format
Quicken imports, without Money.
How to move from Money to Quicken
- Upload your
.mnyfile (with its password if it has one) and convert. - Check the account list and balances in the preview.
- Download QIF, all accounts in one file and import it in Quicken (in Quicken for Windows: File > File Import > QIF File), choosing to import into all accounts. The file carries each account's name and type, the category list and the securities along with the transactions.
- Compare each account's balance in Quicken with the Accounts sheet of the Excel workbook.
If you would rather bring in one account at a time, use the ZIP with one QIF file per account.
What comes across
- Bank, credit card, cash, asset, liability and loan accounts with their opening balance and every transaction: date, number, payee, memo, category, cleared or reconciled status.
- Split transactions as QIF splits, with each line's category, memo and amount.
- Transfers between accounts, naming the other account in the Quicken way so both sides link.
- Investment accounts with buys, sales, dividends, interest, reinvestments and share additions and removals, including quantity, price and commission.
- Voided transactions marked the way Quicken marks them, with no amount.
Things to know
- Dates: QIF dates follow the order of your Money edition (month/day/year for US editions). If Quicken shows impossible dates, convert again with the other "Date order in QIF files".
- Investment cash: Money keeps an investment account's cash in a separate "(Cash)" account. The QIF keeps that layout: each trade moves money to or from the cash account, which arrives as an ordinary account linked by transfers.
- Text: names are written in the Windows character set Quicken expects; files with names in other alphabets are written in UTF-8.
- Not included: budgets, scheduled bills, reports, and price history beyond the last price.
Your file is used only to produce your downloads, and the results are deleted after 30 minutes.
