• Choose the date range for the transactions you want to download. You may have options like "Last 30 days", "Last 60 days", or you can specify a custom date range.

4. Choose the File Format:

• Look for an option to download transactions. Your bank might offer formats like .csv, .qbo (QuickBooks), .ofx, or .qfx.
