How to download your Ally statements
OFX / QFXOFX/QFX (recommended). PDF statements exist but Pare can't parse them.
Ally Bank exports transactions in Quicken format from the account activity view. That's the path into Pare.
Steps
- 01Sign in at ally.com and open the account.
- 02Open account activity and choose Download.
- 03Pick the Quicken (.qfx) format.
- 04Drop the .qfx into Pare.
Worth knowing
Ally's savings buckets appear inside one account rather than as separate accounts, so a single export can mix them. Pare treats the file as one account — which is usually what you want.
What Pare does with it
Drop the file into Pare and it parses the transactions locally, categorises them, and builds spending trends, budgets and a cash-flow forecast. Uploaded PDFs are deleted the moment they're parsed, and Pare never asks for your bank login. You can also self-host it so the data never leaves your machine.
