Has anyone else had issues with ynab importing confusing transactions? I see that for some reason the credit card payment doesn't have a payee on the checking account side, I add it, I see that I now have to two credit card transfers for the same amount and same day, and then I see that one of them has an imported payee indicating it was an investment account transfer (so I then switch it to match the imported payee)

It seems like your issue with YNAB importing confusing transactions, especially credit card payments without payees and duplicate transfers, might be related to how YNAB handles transaction matching and imports. Based on the provided documents: 1. Matching Transactions: YNAB allows you to manually match transactions if they aren't automatically matched. You can select two transactions and match them manually. However, two imported transactions or two user-entered transactions cannot be matched, as YNAB assumes they are distinct. 2. Double Imports: If you see duplicate transactions, it could be due to double imports. YNAB does not allow matching of two imported transactions to prevent issues with balances and reconciliation. 3. Tidying Up: If you encounter duplicates or mismatched transactions, the recommended approach is to delete one of the duplicates, clean up the category on the remaining transaction, and move on. 4. Credit Card Payments: When dealing with credit card payments, YNAB automatically creates a Credit Card Payment category. If a transaction is imported without a payee, you can manually add the payee to ensure clarity. However, if you notice duplicate transfers, it’s important to reconcile and ensure the transactions align with your bank records. For your specific case, it might help to: • Reconcile your accounts regularly to catch and fix mismatches. • Use the manual match feature to align transactions correctly. • Delete duplicate transactions and ensure the remaining ones are categorized properly. If the issue persists, reaching out to YNAB support might provide additional guidance tailored to your situation.

I mean, it used to work fine. But it could be that this time the transaction amounts are the same, triggering the bug?

same transaction amounts for transfers on the same day absolutely confuses ynab

I've wondered about this... Whats the solution?

whatever solution we come up with we can share it with everyone bc now we have an official YNAB app integration that can manage peoples accounts

It's strange because ynab actually still knows the correct payee for the account it gives the incorrect payee for
