About OFX to CSV Converter

Our free OFX to CSV converter transforms Open Financial Exchange files into clean, structured CSV data instantly in your browser. OFX (also known as QFX for Quicken or OFC for older Microsoft Money formats) is the standard format used by thousands of banks and financial institutions in the United States and worldwide for delivering electronic transaction data. Converting OFX to CSV makes the data immediately usable in spreadsheets, accounting tools, and custom analysis workflows.

This converter handles both SGML-based OFX (without closing tags, used by most US banks) and XML-based OFX formats seamlessly. It extracts transaction types, dates, amounts, payee names, memos, check numbers, reference numbers, and account details from each STMTTRN element. The tool also includes intelligent fallback field resolution -- if a standard tag like DTPOSTED is missing, it automatically searches for alternatives like DTUSER or DTAVAIL.

All processing runs entirely on your device. Your banking data is never uploaded to any server, guaranteeing complete privacy and security. Whether you are importing bank downloads into accounting software, analyzing spending patterns, or migrating financial data between platforms, this tool delivers accurate results in seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an OFX file?

OFX (Open Financial Exchange) is a standard data format used by banks and financial institutions to deliver electronic account statements and transaction data. It was originally developed by Microsoft, Intuit, and CheckFree and is widely used by online banking services in the US and internationally.

What is the difference between OFX and QFX?

QFX is essentially the same format as OFX but branded by Intuit for use with Quicken. QFX files may include an additional INTUIT.BID header tag. This converter handles both formats identically.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes, this OFX to CSV converter is completely free with no registration, no file size limits, and unlimited conversions.

Is my data secure?

Yes. All OFX parsing and CSV generation happens entirely in your web browser. Your financial data never leaves your device and is never sent to any external server.

Where can I download OFX files from my bank?

Most US banks offer OFX/QFX downloads from their online banking portal. Look for options like "Download Transactions," "Export," or "Quicken/QFX" in your bank's transaction history or statement section.

What happens if my OFX file has missing fields?

The converter generates detailed warnings for any missing or substituted fields. If DTPOSTED is missing, it tries DTUSER or DTAVAIL. If TRNAMT is missing, it tries AMOUNT. Each substitution is reported so you can verify the results.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Download full statements: When exporting from your bank, select the widest date range available to get complete transaction history.
  • Check for truncation: Ensure your OFX file ends with closing tags (like </OFX>). Truncated files may cause parsing errors.
  • Review warnings carefully: The converter reports any missing or substituted fields. Pay attention to these warnings to ensure data accuracy.
  • Try the sample data: Load the built-in sample to understand the output CSV format before converting your own bank files.
  • Handle multiple accounts: The tool extracts account identifiers for each transaction, making it easy to filter by account in your spreadsheet.
  • Keep your original files: Always retain the original OFX files as the authoritative source, since CSV conversion flattens some structured data.
