Extract text from Microsoft Money files (MNY)
To convert MNY finance files to another format, you need Microsoft Money or other Database software.
To convert other file formats to the "Personal Finance Database" file type, you need software like Microsoft Money or a similar tool.
The .mny file is a proprietary database format created by Microsoft Money, a discontinued personal finance management application. It stores users' financial data, including bank accounts, credit card transactions, investment portfolios, and household budgets. Users typically open this file using Microsoft Money Plus Sunset Deluxe, the final official release provided by Microsoft.
Modern users face severe challenges with the .mny format because it is entirely obsolete. Microsoft stopped selling the software in 2009. The format is closed, proprietary, and heavily structured, making it incompatible with modern web browsers, macOS, and mobile devices. Leaving your financial history in a .mny file risks permanent data loss as older Windows applications become harder to run on new operating systems.
To preserve your financial history, you must convert .mny data to standard formats like QIF (Quicken Interchange Format), OFX, or CSV. These target formats are widely supported by modern financial tools like Quicken and Moneydance. However, exporting usually strips away complex budgeting rules and customized reports, preserving only the raw transaction data.
Because the .mny format is a closed, proprietary database, standard online converters fail to parse its structure. Often, only the original Microsoft Money software can properly read or export the data.
Convert.Guru analyzes your MNY file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted MBF, OFX, QIF, MONEY, QFX, MS14, QBO, PDF, LNK, QWB and MN8 files.
If you want to convert MNY file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use Microsoft Money or similar software from the "Personal Finance Data Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to MNY, try Microsoft Money or another comparable tool in the "Personal Finance Data Storage" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our MNY converter.
