This is based on the way your bank writes the information to the qif file.
Contact your bank and let them know you are having a problem.

You can also download your file before importing it into Money and open it
with a text editor. You could then use search and replace to delete the
"EFT TRANS" from the beginning of the transaction before importing it into
Money.

Hope this helps!

I'm having a problem that no one else seems to have addressed in this forum.

I use my CheckCard as a debit card when I can, but many stores only support
credit card transactions. For all the credit card transactions, Money
truncates the text for the transaction in the qif file, so that for each
entry it only gets through the first 15 characters or so. In my bank's
system, that only contains the date and "EFT TRANS"-- nothing about the
vendor. So when I import I get a statement that looks like this:

EFT TRANS 10102004
EFT TRANS 10102004
EFT TRANS 10102004
EFT TRANS 10102004

The vendor names all come after the date but Money never sees this.

Debit card transactions work fine because the vendor name is listed first.
Is there a way to fix this so I don't have to go through and change the
vendor name for each credit card transaction?

Thanks to whomever replies.
