Moving your Mint export to Fullgrove

Updated

Mint closed in March 2024, so the data you can move is the transactions CSV you downloaded before then. Share that file to Fullgrove on your iPhone, look over the preview of accounts and rows, and confirm. The ledger is kept on your iPhone, and there is no bank login.

Find your Mint export

Mint let you download your transactions as a CSV file, and many people saved one before the service closed. Search your computer, your email and your cloud storage for it. A Mint export has a header row with these columns: Date, Description, Original Description, Amount, Transaction Type, Category, Account Name, Labels and Notes.

If you never downloaded a file, Mint can no longer produce one. Intuit pointed Mint users to Credit Karma, and its help centre is the place to ask what history it holds.

Bring the file into Fullgrove

Put the CSV on your iPhone, for example through iCloud Drive or AirDrop. In the Files app, share it to Fullgrove, or pick Fullgrove in the share sheet wherever the file is. Fullgrove reads the Mint export as it is.

A preview shows the accounts and the rows it found before anything is added to your ledger. You can map Mint's categories and account names to the ones you want in Fullgrove, and then confirm.

What comes across and what does not

  • Comes across: each transaction's date, description, category, account name, labels and notes, with the amount as money out or money in. Rows that Mint filed as a transfer or a credit card payment are treated as transfers.
  • Stays behind: budgets, goals and bill reminders. The CSV holds transactions only, so they were never in the file. Bank connections stay behind too, because Fullgrove has none.

Check the result

Open the CSV in a spreadsheet and note the number of rows and the first and last dates. The preview in Fullgrove should show the same. Then compare one or two months of spending in a category you know well. If you saved your history in several files, share each one and check that the date ranges meet.

Leaving Fullgrove again

Your data can leave the same way it arrived. Fullgrove exports the rows as CSV and everything as JSON. The archive format is open.

Questions

Can I still export a CSV from Mint?
Mint closed in March 2024, so a new export is no longer possible. A transactions CSV you downloaded before then still works.
Can I import my Mint CSV into another app?
Yes. Fullgrove reads a Mint transactions export as it is and shows a preview before anything is added.
What happened to my Mint data?
Intuit pointed Mint users to Credit Karma. Its help centre can tell you what history it holds for your account.
Do my Mint budgets and goals come across?
No. The Mint CSV holds transactions only. Budgets are set again in Fullgrove.
