# Convert CSV to OFX

_Canonical: https://qbomaker.com/csv-to-ofx.html_

OFX (Open Financial Exchange) is the standard bank-statement format most accounting software
accepts, including Xero, GnuCash, MoneyMoney and Banktivity. If your bank only exports CSV, QBO
Maker turns it into a clean .OFX file locally, without uploading anything.

Convert at https://qbomaker.com/#tool, then choose .OFX (generic) as the output format.

## How to convert CSV to OFX
1. Download your bank transactions as CSV or Excel.
2. Drop the file into the converter.
3. Map the date, amount and description columns (auto-detected for you).
4. Choose .OFX output and download.
5. Import the .OFX in your accounting app's bank-import screen.

## Which format do I need?
Use .QBO for QuickBooks, .QFX for Quicken, and .OFX for everything else. The transactions are
identical, only the wrapper differs. Handles signed amounts or split debit/credit columns,
currency symbols, parenthesized negatives, European number formats, and US, UK or ISO dates.
