I have added a Starling bank feed and it looks like it’s all connected ok. However, I don’t see any way to refresh the bank feed to pull in historical data. I.e. I’d like the feed to pull in transactions for the past couple of weeks, but unlike regular open banking feeds, I don’t see any way to do this.
The balance is calculated based on the transactions in your QuickFile account. If you’ve just joined and there aren’t any transactions or opening balances, then it’s likely that it will have a balance of 0.
ok, so i need to set the starting balance to what it is in the account? What tweaks in the background are you doing to other accounts, as mention in this thread? Thanks you
No problem! So in that case, you’ve probably got a handful of transactions (if any)? You can just enter these manually, or even grab a CSV export from Starling and import it into QuickFile. This should sort the balance for you.
A few points however -
The balance of your Starling account isn’t necessarily what you see in the app. What you see is your available balance, whereas QuickFile reflects your cleared balance.
Great, yes only a couple to enter manually. i have just changed the opening balnce of the account but now Quickfile will not allow me change it. @QFMathew any help with this, my balance is now out by £1 as this was the startup balance that i entered into quickfile but still pulling in the csv it wont tally
Is there not a link “modify opening balance” in the account settings screen? The opening balance just makes a journal so you can just go and modify that, which is where I believe the link in the account settings sends you anyway.
