What FileInto looks for in your file

ColumnExamplesNotes
Transactions<STMTTRN> ... </STMTTRN>Every transaction in the file. Older SGML files (OFX 1) and newer XML files (OFX 2) both work.
Date and amount<DTPOSTED>20261003, <TRNAMT>-5.75The posted date and the signed amount, exactly as your bank wrote them. No date or sign settings to check.
Payee and memo<NAME>, <MEMO>Kept in full. QuickBooks shows 32 characters of the payee, so the rest goes into the memo.
Transaction id<FITID>SB2026100301Kept as your bank wrote it, so QuickBooks still spots transactions it has already imported.
Account<ACCTID>, <ACCTTYPE>, <CCACCTFROM>Sets the account type (checking, savings or credit card) and the last 4 digits for you.

Problems and fixes

QuickBooks says it can’t verify the financial institution
QuickBooks only accepts Web Connect files from banks on Intuit’s list. FileInto writes a supported institution id into every QBO file. If you still see this, write to us with your QuickBooks version.
The same transactions appear twice
FileInto keeps the transaction ids your bank wrote, so QuickBooks skips ones it has already imported, even from the bank’s own downloads. Overlapping files from different sources can still duplicate.
FileInto says it couldn’t read the file
Open the file in a text editor. A real bank download starts with OFXHEADER or <OFX>. If it starts with something else (a web page, an error), download it from your bank again.
Some transactions are missing
FileInto converts every transaction in the file. Check the date range you picked on your bank’s download page; many banks cap one download at 90 days.

Questions

Why won’t QuickBooks open my QFX file?
QuickBooks reads bank files only as .qbo Web Connect files from banks on Intuit’s list. A Quicken (.qfx) file is the same kind of data in a form QuickBooks refuses. FileInto rewrites it as a QBO file with an institution id QuickBooks accepts.
Is my QFX file uploaded?
No. FileInto converts it inside your browser tab. Your file never reaches our servers, and nothing about it does either: not its name, its size or how many rows it has.
Do I need to set columns or dates?
No. A bank download already says which value is the date, the payee and the amount, so there is nothing to map. Check the account type and download.
Does it work for credit cards?
Yes. A credit card download is recognised as a credit card account, so charges come in as money owed.
Can I get a CSV instead?
Yes. Switch "Save as" to CSV for Excel and Google Sheets.
What are the limits?
Files up to 25 MB. Every file gets a full preview free. Downloads up to 25 transactions are free, no account needed; a Day Pass ($9 for 24 hours) or Unlimited ($7 a month) has no row limit. It works in current versions of Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox, on computers and phones.
