BMO statements to OFX: what you get

This .ofx file carries the reconciled BMO transactions in standard OFX structure — the format to choose when your software's import menu lists OFX, QFX or 'bank statement file' rather than CSV.

The main use is rebuilding history in software after a bank feed has lapsed. Statements from Canada banks print dates as a written month or day/month/year — "Apr 3, 2026" and 03/04/2026 both appear 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.

Reconciliation is what separates conversion from copying. Once the BMO transactions are extracted, the converter replays them: opening balance plus each row in turn must reproduce every printed running balance and land exactly on the closing figure. 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.

Two habits make BMO statements easier to work with. First, convert the issued PDF rather than a portal screen print — print views paginate differently and can drop the balance lines the check needs. Second, glance at the statement's own subtotals before converting: section totals for deposits, withdrawals and fees are free checkpoints that tell you where a flagged difference is likely to live.

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

Catching up a year of BMO books

Download all twelve periods first and convert them as one batch, then work through the reconciliation results month by month in order. Fix flagged months before importing anything: it is far easier to resolve a difference against twelve tidy statements than inside a year of mixed postings.

Before you use the file

If your software offers both OFX import and a live bank feed for the same account, use one or the other for a given period, never both: the same transactions arriving twice is the most common cause of a doubled month.

How to download a statement PDF from BMO

  1. Get the statement from BMO itself. Open the BMO app or website and sign in. Statement PDFs sit behind the login — there is no public download.
  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. Pick the month (or months) you need. For catch-up bookkeeping, download each month as its own PDF.
  4. Download or print to PDF. Use the Download / Download PDF option. If only a print view is offered, print the statement to PDF from the browser.
  5. Run the conversion here. Upload the PDF above and check the reconciliation result before you download the converted file.

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

Tip: where the portal shows a 'final' or 'corrected' version of a statement, convert that one — reissued statements supersede the original figures.

Questions and answers

How do I convert a BMO statement to OFX?

Download the statement PDF from BMO 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 BMO statements use?

Expect a written month or day/month/year — "Apr 3, 2026" and 03/04/2026 both appear dates and amounts with a comma for thousands and a point for decimals (1,234.56) on a BMO 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.

My BMO 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.

What if two BMO statements cover overlapping days?

Convert them separately and import only one version of the overlap. Banks occasionally reissue a corrected statement for a period; the later issue supersedes the earlier, and importing both would double the shared days.

Can I convert a full year of BMO statements at once?

Yes. Download each month as its own PDF and upload them together — batch mode converts them in one run and, in Excel, adds a combined sheet. Each statement is still reconciled separately, because balances are per statement.

Does the converter work with BMO credit-card statements?

Yes. Credit-card statements use a Previous Balance / New Balance layout, which the converter reads as well; purchases are positive and payments are negative, and the same totals check applies.

What columns does the converted file have?

Date, Description, Amount, Debit, Credit and Balance — the same normalized columns for every bank, so a BMO file and a file from any other bank in Canada can be imported and reviewed the same way.

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.
