Why Validate Bank Files?

Catch Issues Before Import

Corrupted or malformed OFX/QFX files can cause import failures in QuickBooks, Quicken, and other accounting software. Missing transaction IDs, invalid dates, or malformed amounts waste time troubleshooting import rejections. Validating first identifies exactly which transactions have problems.

What This Tool Checks

We validate your bank file against the OFX specification: - Required fields present (FITID, DTPOSTED, TRNAMT) - Date formats valid and parseable - Amount values numeric with proper sign - Transaction types recognized - No duplicate transaction IDs You get a detailed error report to fix issues before importing.

Common Target Import Errors
