How to download your Ally Bank transactions as a CSV file

Last verified: October 2026 — Ally's interface changes periodically. If a step looks different, the function is usually still there, just moved.

Works for Ally checking and savings accounts (Spending Account, Money Market Savings, and Savings Account). You’ll get a .CSV file you can import directly into trak-yo-dolla$ or any spreadsheet.

Steps

1
Sign in at ally.com.
2
Click the specific account you want to export. Each account exports separately — repeat these steps for each one.
3
Scroll to the Transaction History section. Click the Download link in the top right of that section.
4
A Download Account Activity panel opens. Under Select File Format, choose CSV (the other option is Quicken).
5
Under Date Range, choose your range. For a first import, select All available dates — Ally exports up to 18 months this way. If you need a specific window, choose Custom and enter From and To dates.
6
Click the blue Download button. The file saves to your Downloads folder.
Need more than 18 months?
The Download panel covers up to 18 months. For older transactions, use the Statements link in the panel — Ally keeps up to 7 years there.

What’s in the file

Columns
The CSV includes five columns: Date, Time, Amount, Type, and Description. trak-yo-dolla$ detects Ally’s format automatically on import.

Amounts: Withdrawals are negative, deposits are positive.

Exporting multiple accounts

Each account exports separately. Download one file per account and import each one — the app merges them automatically.

Keeping it current

Re-export every month or so to stay current. Overlapping date ranges are fine; the app skips duplicates.

Once you have the file, import it in trak-yo-dolla$ — open the app, click Import a CSV, and select your file. Nothing leaves your device.
