How to switch from Mint to Hunch

Export your history from Mint and bring it into Hunch — categories and all.

STEP 1

Export your data from Mint

Find your old Mint export

If you exported before Mint shut down, locate the transactions CSV you downloaded (usually named transactions.csv). Mint let you export from Transactions > Export to CSV.

Check the columns

A Mint export has Date, Description, Amount, Category, and Account columns. No cleanup is needed — Hunch reads this format directly.

Keep the file handy

Save the CSV somewhere you can reach it from your browser. You will upload it to Hunch in the next step.

STEP 2

What your Mint export looks like

A CSV is just a spreadsheet of your transactions — typically one row per transaction with columns for date, description, amount, category, and account. You do not need to edit it. Hunch reads these columns automatically and shows you a preview before anything is imported, so you can confirm the mapping first.

STEP 3

Import it into Hunch

Open the importer

In Hunch, go to Import and choose CSV. Drag in the file you exported.

Confirm the column mapping

Hunch auto-detects date, amount, description, and category. Adjust any column if needed, then preview the rows.

Finish and sync forward

Import to bring in your history, then connect your bank via Plaid so new transactions flow in automatically.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Common gotchas

→Date format: if dates look wrong, set the date column format (DD/MM vs MM/DD) in the import preview before confirming.
→Split transactions: some apps export splits as separate rows — Hunch imports each row, so your totals still add up.
→Categories: unmatched categories are imported as-is and you can remap them in bulk afterward.

FAQ

Switching from Mint — questions

I never exported my Mint data — can I still get it?

Unfortunately Mint is fully shut down, so new exports are no longer possible. If you have an old CSV, you can still import it. Otherwise, connect your bank in Hunch via Plaid to pull recent history fresh.

Will my Mint categories carry over?

Hunch reads the Category column from your Mint CSV and maps it to its own categories during import, so most of your categorization is preserved.

How far back does my history go?

It depends on your Mint export. Hunch imports whatever date range the CSV contains; going forward, Plaid sync keeps it current.
