Resolve duplicate transactions imported from your bank

Automatic bank transaction imports are part of Wave’s Pro Plan. Learn more about Wave’s plans or how to subscribe.

Common causes of duplicate transactions when importing

If your bank account is connected for transaction imports, duplicates may be imported if:

  • Your bank connection was disconnected, and you reconnected it, but selected a date to begin importing transactions from that includes transactions already imported
  • You have multiple connections for the same bank account on your Connected Accounts page
  • You manually record payments on invoices or bills, or upload receipts. Wave’s auto-update feature might not have detected and merged these transactions yet. Learn more about Automated bookkeeping with auto-updates.

If you use Wave’s online payments feature, you will see two income transactions for each invoice payment. These are not duplicates. To understand this bookkeeping, read Automated bookkeeping with online payments.
