QFX format to PDF: before and after

What each QFX tag becomes in the PDF report
QFX data sits in tags that only finance software reads. The report turns those tags into labeled headings and columns. Here's the mapping.
| QFX field | PDF field | Note |
|---|---|---|
| FI › ORG | Bank name (report header) | Shown as the bank sent it. |
| BANKID / ACCTID | Account header | The account number is masked by default. The bank or routing ID may still be printed; check the report before sharing. |
| ACCTTYPE | Account type | Checking, savings, money market or credit line, as the bank labels it. |
| DTSTART / DTEND | Date range | The period the bank included in the download. |
| CURDEF | Currency | Printed next to the date range. |
| DTPOSTED | Date | One row per transaction, oldest first. |
| NAME / MEMO | Description | NAME is the payee. MEMO is added after it when the bank includes one. |
| CHECKNUM | Check / Ref | Check numbers or references appear in the report's Check / Ref column when supplied. |
| TRNAMT | Money out / Money in | Spending and receipts are positive values in separate columns and totals. |
| LEDGERBAL › BALAMT | Closing balance | Also used to build the Balance column when you turn on running balance. |
| FITID | Not printed | The bank's internal transaction ID. It's useful to software, not to readers. |

Where to get a QFX file to convert
Show me where to download it
QFX files are made by banks, for Quicken. You download them from online banking. Quicken itself can't save one.
Most banks put the option on the account activity page:
- Log in to online banking on a computer.
- Open the account and look for a link named Download, Export or Download activity.
- Set the dates you want in the report.
- Choose Quicken or Quicken Web Connect (.qfx) as the file type.
- Save it to your computer instead of letting it open in Quicken.
Bookkeepers often get QFX files from clients who use Quicken at home. Ask the client to send the .qfx download itself. A Quicken data file (.qdf) or backup won't work here.
What are QFX and PDF files?
What is a QFX file?
A QFX file is Quicken Web Connect, used for bank and credit card downloads. It is based on OFX and adds Intuit institution details. Transaction IDs help identify previously imported entries. Acceptance depends on the institution and your Quicken edition and services.
What is the PDF report?
This PDF is a printable transaction report made from your file, with account details, a date range, transactions and totals. It is marked Not a bank statement. Download official statements from your bank when you need a bank-issued document.
A QFX file is intended for finance software; a PDF report lets anyone read, print or file the same transactions without installing Quicken.
QFX to PDF converter errors and fixes
| Error | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| No running balance appears | Running balance is off, or the source file has no usable balance data. | Turn on Show running balance and review again. If the file has no balance data, the report has transactions and totals only; use the bank's official statement to confirm balances. |
| Payee names are cut short or all in capitals | The bank wrote them that way in the NAME tag, often limited to 32 characters. | Look in the description for the MEMO text, which often holds the rest. The report can only show what the bank sent. |
| The upload is refused | The file is a Quicken data file (.qdf), a backup, or a different format like OFX or QBO. | Use the .qfx you downloaded from your bank. For other formats, follow the link to the right converter. |
| A lender or landlord won't accept the PDF | The report is a summary of a QFX file, not a document issued by your bank. | Download the official statement from your bank's website instead. |
QFX to PDF questions
Yes. QFX to PDF is free here, and there's no account to create. Drop in your file and download the report.
No. It's a transaction report made from your QFX file, and the PDF is labeled that way. It's for reading, printing, sharing and record keeping.
No. Lenders want a statement issued by your bank. Download it from your bank's website or ask the bank for a copy.
Convert it. A PDF report is easiest to read and print. If you'd rather sort and filter, use our QFX to CSV converter and open the result in a spreadsheet.
Not directly. Once you import the QFX into Quicken, you can print a register or report from there. This converter is for when you only have the file or don't use Quicken.
Turn on Show running balance and review again. The report needs a usable source or supplied balance to calculate the column. Without one, it contains transactions and totals only.
Files are encrypted with AES-256 and deleted automatically.
Limitations
This is a transaction report, not an official bank statement. Account numbers are masked by default, but bank/routing identifiers may still appear. Turning off Hide account numbers exposes the full account number. Check privacy and totals before sharing. Running balances need usable balance data; output has separate Money out and Money in columns.
