Shine statements to OFX: what you get

OFX is the interchange format desktop accounting software was built around. This export writes the Shine 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 rebuilding history in software after a bank feed has lapsed. Statements from France banks print dates as day/month/year, often written day.month.year — 03.04.2026 means 3 April 2026 and amounts with points or spaces for thousands and a comma 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 Shine 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 dropped row, a duplicated row or a misread digit breaks the chain and is flagged at the row where it breaks, with the expected and printed balances shown side by side.

Two habits make Shine 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. In a sectioned layout — deposits, then withdrawals, then fees — compare section totals first. Knowing which layout you hold tells you where to look before the marked rows even load.

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

Catching up a year of Shine 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

OFX files carry no opening-balance field your software will trust blindly — check the account's starting figure in the software against the statement's opening balance before reconciling, so the import builds on the same anchor the conversion check used.

How to download a statement PDF from Shine

  1. Sign in and open the right account. Use the bank's website or mobile app and sign in with your usual credentials.
  2. Find where this bank files PDFs. Most banks file statements under the account's Documents, Statements or eStatements tab rather than on the summary screen.
  3. Work month by month. Download each period as its own file. The reconciliation check proves one statement at a time, which is what makes a long catch-up provable.
  4. Download or print to PDF. Choose PDF when the bank offers several formats — it is the issued document, identical to the paper statement.
  5. Run the conversion here. Add the PDF to the converter on this page and read the reconciliation verdict on the result before exporting.

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

Tip: a statement that covers a partial period (account opened or closed mid-month) still converts and reconciles; its balances simply anchor a shorter chain.

Questions and answers

How do I convert a Shine statement to OFX?

Save the statement as a PDF from Shine online banking, add it to the converter above, and take the an OFX-formatted export of the statement's transactions it produces. Extraction, column normalization and the reconciliation check all happen before the download is offered.

What date and number formats do Shine statements use?

Like most banks in France, Shine prints dates as day/month/year, often written day.month.year — 03.04.2026 means 3 April 2026 and amounts with points or spaces for thousands and a comma for decimals (1.234,56). Conversion normalizes dates to an unambiguous form in the output while leaving the figures themselves untouched.

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 Shine 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 Shine 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 Shine 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 Shine 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.
