"Firefly III" is a (self-hosted) manager for your personal finances. It can help you keep track of your expenses and income, so you can spend less and save more. The **data importer** is built to help you import transactions into Firefly III. It is separated from Firefly III for security and maintenance reasons.
The data importer does not connect to your bank directly. Instead, it uses [Nordigen](https://nordigen.com/en/coverage/) and [SaltEdge](https://www.saltedge.com/products/spectre/countries) to connect to over 6000 banks worldwide. These services are free for Firefly III users, but require registration.

You can also import CSV files downloaded from your bank. Other import options are under construction.
The data importer can import CSV files you've downloaded from your bank.
You can run the data importer once, for a bulk import. You can also run it regularly to keep up with new transactions.
