Discover + Wave: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your Discover Financial Services bank statement into Wave? Discover uses MM/DD/YYYY and credit card format with Transaction Date, Post Date, Description, and Amount columns, plus Cashback Bonus summary; checking uses chronological Date/Description/Amount/Balance — which needs converting to CSV (Date, Description, Amount — Wave supports both single amount column and separate Income/Expense columns) for Wave import.
