What is QFX file/format?

The QFX format is a financial data file format used for importing and exporting financial data, such as transactions and account information. It is an open standard that is supported by many personal finance and accounting software programs.

The QFX format is based on the OFX (Open Financial Exchange) format, which is a widely-used standard for exchanging financial data between institutions and individuals. Like OFX, QFX files are typically used for importing and exporting transactions and account information between financial institutions and personal finance software.

One of the key advantages of the QFX format is that it is an open standard, which means that it is not proprietary to any particular financial institution or software program. This makes it easy for individuals and institutions to exchange financial data with each other, regardless of which software programs they use.

In addition to supporting transactions and account information, QFX files can also include other financial data, such as investment and tax information. This makes the QFX format a useful tool for managing and tracking a wide range of financial information.

To use the QFX format, you will need a personal finance or accounting software program that supports it or the ProperConvert app. Many popular programs, such as Quicken and Microsoft Money, support the QFX format, so you should have no trouble finding a program that can handle your financial data.

Once you have the ProperConvert app that supports the QFX format, you can begin importing and exporting financial data using QFX files. This process typically involves selecting the specific data that you want to import or export, and then following the steps provided by your software program to complete the transfer.

In summary, the QFX format is a financial data file format that is used for importing and exporting transactions and account information. It is an open standard that is supported by many personal finance and accounting software programs, and it provides a convenient way to exchange financial data with others.

Use the ProperConvert to access or convert transaction files from QFX and to the QFX format.
