Bank statement converter tools

Upload a bank or credit card statement PDF once and download it in any format below, or convert a CSV, OFX, QFX, QBO, QIF or IIF file you already have. Every PDF conversion is checked against the statement's own running balance and against every figure it prints — and if something does not add up, Verify transactions tells you which row, instead of having it quietly corrected.

Spreadsheets

The table exactly as your bank printed it, checked against its own balance.

For QuickBooks

QuickBooks does not read PDF. It reads Web Connect files.

For Quicken

Quicken is stricter than anything else you might import into.

For GnuCash, Xero, MYOB & Tally

One statement, several destinations.

You already have a CSV or Excel file

A spreadsheet your bank gave you, turned into the format your software asks for.

  • CSV to QBO Converter — QuickBooks reads a QBO with no columns to map. Desktop cannot import a bank CSV at all.
  • CSV to QFX Converter — Quicken will not import a CSV. QFX is the format it was built to read.
  • CSV to QIF Converter — The format MYOB, older Quicken and a long tail of accounting software still take.
  • CSV to OFX Converter — The open format — Xero, GnuCash, MoneyWiz and most things that are not Intuit.
  • CSV to IIF Converter — QuickBooks Desktop has no CSV import for transactions. IIF is what it takes.
  • Excel to QIF Converter — A bank's Excel download, or a register you keep in a workbook, as a QIF.
  • Excel to IIF Converter — A workbook of transactions as an IIF, which QuickBooks Desktop imports under File, Utilities, Import.

You already have an OFX, QFX or QBO

One format under three names. Read it, and write out any of the others.

You already have a QIF or IIF

The two formats accounting packages export and almost nothing else opens.

Credit card statements

A credit card statement is a statement too — same reader, same checks.

One upload, every format

You do not pick a converter before you start. Upload the statement, see the table, then download it as Excel, CSV, QBO, QFX, QIF or OFX — the file is read once and every format comes from that same result.

Questions

Which format should I choose?

Pick the one your software asks for. QuickBooks Online takes QBO, Quicken takes QFX or QIF, Xero takes CSV or OFX, MYOB takes QIF, and everything else opens CSV or Excel. If you are not importing anywhere, Excel is the easiest to read.

Do I have to convert twice to get two formats?

No. One upload is read once, and each format it can be written as comes from that same result — so downloading Excel and then QBO costs one conversion, not two.

How do I know the output is right?

A statement PDF is checked two ways: against its own running balance, row by row, and against every figure it prints on a dated line. If something does not add up, Verify transactions tells you which row and what is missing, rather than having it quietly corrected. A CSV, OFX, QFX, QBO, QIF or IIF has no printed page to check against, so its transactions are carried across from the file's own fields and nothing is claimed beyond that.

What if my bank is not listed?

There is no list. A statement from a bank nobody has uploaded before converts the same way as a common one.

Are my statements kept?

The file is read to produce your download and is not retained afterwards. Bank statements carry account numbers and names, which is reason enough not to hold on to them.
