Need to import bank or credit card transactions in a QFX file into Quicken for Windows or other QIF importing software or online service, but cannot seem to make it work? The problem is that your bank only provides transactions in a QFX format that Quicken for Windows or other QIF importing software or online service cannot read.
The Solution: try ProperConvert (QFX2QIF) app. It can convert your transactions into a format from QFX to QIF.
Before importing any files into your accounting software, make sure to backup your company data file. Apps like QuickBooks or Quicken provide easy to use and fast backup options that will take few seconds and save you lots of lost time in case of incorrect import. Import data with confidence you can easily rollback to previous state. Do backups for major changes like disabling online services as well.
Many accounting software packages like QuickBooks Desktop (any edition like QuickBooks Pro or QuickBooks Premier or QuickBooks Accountant) provide a buffer zone (bank feeds center) to review imported transactions and delete (ignore) or add to the register. Online solutions like Xero or QuickBooks Online have similar interface to review and match imported transactions.
Use the ProperConvert app to convert QFX to QIF. Other formats are supported as well.
