Bring your group history.
Use a Splitwise group CSV to create a group in SplitBuds. Match the people and check the expenses, settlements, and balances in each currency before you save.
2. Match the people
In SplitBuds, open Groups → Import from Splitwise. Choose the CSV, name the group, and select your own column. Match each other column to a contact or create a person by name.
3. Review and import
Check the balances separately by currency. Review the suggested allocations and fill in any unresolved ones. Select Import group to create the ledger.
Check the sample balances
The sample includes two CAD expenses, a CAD settlement, and a JPY expense. After importing it, you should see these balances.
| Person | CAD | JPY |
|---|---|---|
| You | +44.00 | −500 |
| Maya | −8.00 | −500 |
| Sam | −36.00 | +1,000 |
What the file can tell you
Splitwise exports each person’s balance change. An expense’s total and net changes can leave part of the original payer and share amounts unknown. SplitBuds shows those amounts for review and preserves the exported balance changes.
Supported files
Use a group CSV up to 1 MB and 1,000 transactions. Expense dates, descriptions, categories, currencies, and payment rows come from the file. Add receipts, comments, and recurring schedules separately. Import the same export again to find the existing group.
