NAB statements to OFX: what you get

OFX is the interchange format desktop accounting software was built around. This export writes the NAB transactions as an OFX file with statement and transaction structure intact, ready for the import routines in tools that accept .ofx or .qfx uploads.

The main use is any workflow that asks for a 'bank statement file' rather than a spreadsheet. Statements from Australia banks print dates as day/month/year — 03/04/2026 means 3 April 2026 and amounts with a comma for thousands and a point for decimals (1,234.56) — the converter's locale-aware reader handles that layout, and then the reconciliation check proves the result: the extracted transactions must add up to the balances printed on the statement itself, or the conversion is flagged.

Every NAB conversion is audited by the document it came from. The extracted transactions are totalled against the printed opening and closing balances and checked row by row against the running balance column where one is printed. A conversion only reports as reconciled when both tests agree to the cent — and when they do, the figures have been proven against the bank's own document, not merely read from it.

A NAB statement's layout decides how differences behave. In a chronological layout with a running balance, a single dropped row shifts every later balance, which makes it easy to spot. The closing zone carries the balances and any fees or interest summaries; it is the closing zone the reconciliation check answers to, and the first place to look when a conversion is flagged.

In Australia, bookkeepers commonly work in Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks; the Excel and CSV exports from this converter are the files those tools import, and the Xero export is laid out for direct import where the tool accepts it.

Month-end with NAB statements

A workable rhythm: download the month's PDF the day the period closes, convert it, read the reconciliation verdict, then import. Months proven in order chain together — each closing balance becomes the next month's opening — so a difference is always owned by exactly one month.

Before you use the file

Keep the statement PDF with the OFX file. OFX is a transport format, not a document — when a transaction is questioned later, the PDF is what proves what the bank actually printed.

How to download a statement PDF from NAB

  1. Sign in and open the right account. Use the bank's website or mobile app and sign in with your usual credentials.
  2. Go to the account, then its documents. Look for Statements, Documents, Mailbox or eStatements in the account menu; the label differs by bank and changes over time.
  3. Set the period you are converting. One PDF per statement period converts cleanest. For a full year, download all twelve periods before you start.
  4. Download the PDF version. Use the Download / Download PDF option. If only a print view is offered, print the statement to PDF from the browser.
  5. Upload the PDF here. Drop the file into the converter above. Batch mode accepts the whole set of periods in one upload.

These are the general steps most banks follow for statement downloads; exact menu labels vary by bank and change over time.

Tip: if the bank offers both a statement PDF and a transaction-list PDF, take the statement — it is the one carrying the balances the reconciliation check needs.

Questions and answers

How do I convert a NAB statement to OFX?

Download the statement PDF from NAB online banking, upload it to the converter on this page, and download the an OFX-formatted export of the statement's transactions. The transactions are extracted, put into the same standard columns used for every bank, and checked against the statement's balances first.

What date and number formats do NAB statements use?

Expect day/month/year — 03/04/2026 means 3 April 2026 dates and amounts with a comma for thousands and a point for decimals (1,234.56) on a NAB statement. The reader is locale-aware, so those conventions are handled rather than misread, and the output columns come out in the standard layout regardless.

What does the reconciliation check do?

Where the statement prints opening and closing (or running) balances, the converter adds up the extracted transactions and compares the result with the statement itself. If the numbers do not tie, the conversion is flagged and the mismatched rows are marked — a failed check is never shown as a success.

Can I convert statements for several NAB accounts?

Yes — convert each account's statements separately so each one reconciles against its own balances, then combine the exports in your software if you need a single view.

What if NAB only offers paper statements?

Scan the statement as flat and straight as you can and upload the scan. OCR reads it, and the reconciliation check verifies the read against the printed balances; rows it cannot verify are flagged for a manual look.

How far back can I get NAB statements?

That depends on the bank's portal — most keep at least a year of PDFs online, and older periods can usually be requested. However far back you go, download each period as its own PDF.

Is the converted file ready to import into my accounting software?

The QuickBooks and Xero exports are laid out in the column order those tools import. The plain CSV and Excel exports suit everything else, including spreadsheet review before import.

My NAB statement has a running balance column. Is it used?

Yes — it is one of the strongest checks available. The converter walks the extracted amounts against the printed running balance row by row, so a single dropped or duplicated transaction is pinpointed instead of merely suspected.

Are my statement files kept?

No. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
