Note that unfortunately, Quicken 2019 has removed the option to export files in QIF format from the Mac version. It now only exports in QXF which is a proprietary Quicken format that cant be imported into any program. However, the Windows version of Quicken still exports to QIF so Mac users must open their accounts on a PC and export them if they want to import them to another program. Banktivity supports both importing and exporting any file in OFX, QFX, QMTF, QIF or CSV format.

Youll have to set them up manually again yourself (more on this below).
