Why use QBO (Web Connect)?
- Closest to a native download. A .QBO file imports the way a real bank download would, as a bank feed in QuickBooks.
- No duplicate transactions. A stable FITID per transaction is what keeps QuickBooks from re-importing rows you already have.
- Valid by construction. The OFX header block and INTU.BID are written correctly so QuickBooks recognises the file instead of rejecting it.
How it works
- Open the converter. No registration is required.
- Upload the statement. Drag and drop your PDF, or browse from your device.
- Convert to QBO. Choose QBO (Web Connect) as the target format and click Convert.
- Import into QuickBooks. Download the .qbo file, review any flagged rows, then import it.
Good for
- Importing a statement as a bank feed rather than a spreadsheet.
- Accounts with no working direct connection to QuickBooks.
- Re-importing history without creating duplicates.
FAQ
What is a QBO file? QuickBooks' Web Connect format — an OFX document QuickBooks imports directly. We generate it with the required OFX header and INTU.BID.
Will transactions import as duplicates? Each transaction gets a stable, collision-resistant FITID from its date, amount, and description — consistent FITIDs stop double-imports and dropped rows.
CSV or QBO — which should I use? QBO imports as a bank feed and is closest to a native download; a 3-column CSV is simpler and editable before import. If one is rejected, try the other.
Is my statement kept private? Files are deleted after 1 hour, never used to train any AI model, and we never connect to your bank. All transfers are encrypted. This is a conversion utility, not financial or accounting advice.
