FAQ
What is a CSV file and an OFX file?
A CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file is a simple text format, similar to an Excel spreadsheet, where the data is separated by commas. Banks often supply them, but the format varies from one institution to another. An OFX (Open Financial Exchange) file is a standardised format designed for the exchange of financial data. It is structured to be read and understood by most financial management software, ensuring compatibility.
How can I convert my CSV bank statement to OFX format?
Converting a CSV file into OFX requires a mapping tool that interprets the columns in your file (date, label, amount) and transforms them into the standardised OFX structure. Finotor’s CSV and OFX Mapper tool is specifically designed for this purpose. All you have to do is load your CSV file, and the tool will clean it up, normalise it and convert it into an impeccable OFX file, ready to be imported into your software.
Can I create a CSV file from my bank statement?
Yes, most online banks allow you to download your account statements directly in CSV format. Look for an option such as “Download transactions” or “Export” in your banking customer area. You should be able to select the CSV format and the desired period. If only the PDF format is available, you will first need to extract the data from the PDF into a spreadsheet and then save it as a CSV.
How do I create an OFX file?
Creating an OFX file manually is complex because you have to respect a very strict tag structure. The simplest and most reliable method is to use a converter. With a tool like Finotor’s CSV Mapper, you don’t need to know the technical details. You start with your CSV or Excel file, and the application generates a valid, compatible OFX file for you in just a few clicks.
Is the OFX format similar to PDF?
No, not at all. PDF is a visual document format, designed to be read by a human being and to retain a fixed page layout. An OFX file is a structured data file, designed to be read and processed by a machine (accounting software, for example). Whereas a PDF presents the information, an OFX contains it in a way that can be used to automate tasks such as bank reconciliation.
