Importing your accounts and transactions from MoneyBrilliant
PocketSmith has a range of tools that make moving from other Personal Finance Management apps a breeze. Use the custom MoneyBrilliant importer to upload your transactional data directly into PocketSmith, meaning all your accounts and categorisation will be imported ✨
Important
When importing data from another app, we recommend having a fresh PocketSmith account to avoid creating duplicate accounts.
If you already have data in your account, it's best to reset your PocketSmith before attempting to import data from your previous Personal finance management app.

Exporting your accounts and transactions from MoneyBrilliant
MoneyBrilliant has closed down, and it's no longer possible to sign in to their app to export data. However, if you downloaded your data into an XLSX file before MoneyBrilliant closed, you can import this file into PocketSmith.
Importing your MoneyBrilliant file into your PocketSmith account
Once you've created your PocketSmith account, you're all set to get your MoneyBrilliant data imported. The MoneyBrilliant import tool allows you to upload your XLSX file to PocketSmith, recreating all your accounts, transactions, categories, budgets, labels, and notes.
