ActivoBank, based in Lisbon, Portugal, delivers account statements as PDFs through its online banking portal. Upload the statement PDF below and download an OFX-formatted export of the statement's transactions — extracted, normalized and reconciled first.
This .ofx file carries the reconciled ActivoBank 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 any workflow that asks for a 'bank statement file' rather than a spreadsheet. Statements from Portugal 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.
Reconciliation is what separates conversion from copying. Once the ActivoBank 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. Agreement to the cent means the extraction matches the document. Disagreement means the conversion is flagged — the result says so plainly, with the differing rows marked.
Before converting, spend thirty seconds on the ActivoBank document itself: confirm the period matches the month you are closing, note the opening and closing balances, and scan for the period's largest transactions. 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 Portugal, bookkeepers commonly work in Sage; 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.
File three things together for every {bank} month: the statement PDF, the converted file, and the reconciliation outcome. Anyone reviewing the work later — a partner, an auditor, a tax adviser — can re-perform the month from that trio without asking you anything.
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.
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.
Save the statement as a PDF from ActivoBank 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.
ActivoBank statements generally 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 reads the figures as printed and normalizes the output columns the same way for every bank.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
No. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
