Alior Bank Integration — Import Transactions to Freenance

Importing Transactions from Alior Bank

Alior Bank offers CSV export of your transaction history through Alior Online. Once you have the file, you can upload it to Freenance — the system automatically categorizes spending, detects subscriptions, and shows your Financial Freedom Runway.

Integration status (May 2026): Alior Online generates several CSV variants depending on account type. We add support for new variants based on user reports. If your import returns "0 incomes, 0 expenses created", email us with an anonymized sample — we add new format support within 1–3 business days.

Step 1: Export from Alior Online

1. Sign in to Alior Online.
2. Go to Accounts → Transaction History and pick the account you want to export.
3. Set the date range. Alior allows up to 3 months per export — for longer periods, run multiple exports.
4. Click Export and choose CSV.
5. Save the file.

Note: Freenance imports CSV and MT940 files only. XLS/Excel is not supported — if Alior only offers XLS, open the file in Excel/LibreOffice and save as CSV (UTF-8) before importing.

Step 2: Rename the file

Freenance expects CSV files to follow this naming convention:

alior-{account-number}.csv

Example: alior-12345678901234567890123456.csv (full IBAN account number, no spaces, no PL prefix).

Step 3: Import to Freenance

1. Sign in to Freenance.
2. Open Configuration → Bank import.
3. Drag the CSV onto the upload area or click Choose file.
4. Click Upload.
5. After a few seconds the import job will report how many incomes and expenses were created and the date range covered.

The file is processed on Freenance's server. Freenance does not ask for your Alior Online login or password.

What happens after import

• Automatic categorization — Biedronka → Groceries, Orlen → Transport, Netflix → Subscriptions. Categorization learns from your edits.
• Recurring payment detection — subscriptions, loan instalments, rent get flagged as recurring.
• Duplicate detection — overlapping import windows skip transactions already in your database.
• Internal transfer detection — transfers between your own accounts in Freenance aren't counted as income or expense.

Security

• No bank account access — Freenance never asks for your Alior Online login or password.
• Encrypted transmission — all uploads use HTTPS.
• Delete any time — from your Freenance account you can delete individual transactions, an entire account, or all your data (GDPR-compliant).

Other banks in Freenance

Freenance also imports from PKO, ING, Revolut, Credit Agricole, Nest Bank, Millennium, and mBank. All accounts live in one dashboard with one categorization model and one budget.

FAQ

Does Freenance connect to Alior Bank via API or open banking?

No — Freenance currently imports Alior Bank data via CSV files that you export from Alior Online yourself. We never ask for your Alior Online login, password, or one-time codes, which keeps the integration safe from a bank-credentials perspective.

How far back can I import Alior Bank transactions?

Alior Online limits a single CSV export to roughly 3 months of history, but you can run multiple exports back-to-back to cover several years. Freenance's duplicate detection will skip any overlapping rows so you can import freely without worrying about double-counting.

Why does my Alior import say "0 incomes, 0 expenses created"?

Alior Online generates several CSV variants depending on account type (personal, business, savings), and your file may use a layout we haven't mapped yet. Email an anonymized sample to hello@freenance.io and we typically add new format support within 1–3 business days.

Can I import both PLN and foreign-currency Alior accounts?

Yes — Freenance imports each Alior account as a separate file named with its full IBAN, so PLN, EUR, and USD accounts stay properly separated. Foreign-currency transactions are converted to PLN at the historical exchange rate for budgeting while preserving the original amount.

Is uploading my Alior CSV to Freenance safe under Polish data rules?

Uploads use HTTPS, files are processed server-side, and you can delete individual transactions, an entire account, or all your data at any time in line with GDPR. Freenance is an information tool, not a payment service, and does not provide investment advice or execute transfers on your behalf.
