What is OFX format and why use it for Absa statements?

Open Financial Exchange format, compatible with most accounting software including QuickBooks, Quicken, and Microsoft Money.

Our converter extracts transaction data from your Absa PDF statement and outputs a properly formatted .ofx file. All transaction fields — dates, descriptions, amounts, and balances — are preserved in the correct structure for your accounting software.

How to import a OFX file into your accounting software

OFX is the Open Financial Exchange standard — an XML dialect broadly supported by Quicken, QuickBooks, GnuCash, and Microsoft Money legacy tools. Import into Quicken via File → File Import → Web Connect File; into GnuCash via File → Import → Import OFX/QFX; and into QuickBooks Desktop through the same Web Connect Files flow used for QBO. OFX contains the same transaction records as QBO plus more flexible account-type metadata, which is why it's the safe choice when you don't yet know which software will consume the file. Some Australian and European banks issue OFX exports directly; if your bank does, you don't need a converter. If not, our OFX output includes signed amounts, ISO dates, and per-transaction unique IDs to prevent duplicates during re-import.
