UBS statements to OFX: what you get

Converting to OFX turns the UBS PDF into a machine-readable statement file: the same transactions, in the tagged format that personal-finance and legacy accounting applications expect when a direct bank feed is not available.

The main use is moving an account between finance applications without retyping. Every conversion is checked against the statement itself: where the statement prints opening and closing (or running) balances, the extracted transactions must add up to them, or the conversion is flagged and the mismatched rows are marked. A statement whose layout the reader cannot parse is reported honestly — never passed off as converted.

Trust in the output comes from the statement's own arithmetic. UBS prints balances that its transaction list must sum to; the converter repeats that sum independently on the extracted data. 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.

Before converting, spend thirty seconds on the UBS 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 Switzerland, bookkeepers commonly work in bexio and Banana Accounting; 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.

Month-end with UBS 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

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 UBS

  1. Sign in to UBS online banking. Use the bank's website or mobile app and sign in with your usual credentials.
  2. Open the account and find Statements or Documents. Most banks file statements under the account's Documents, Statements or eStatements tab rather than on the summary screen.
  3. Set the period you are converting. Recent periods are usually listed first; older ones may sit behind a date-range search or an archive request.
  4. Download or print to PDF. A downloaded PDF carries the text layer the converter reads. If the portal only offers a print view, print to PDF instead of taking a picture.
  5. Upload and verify. 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 UBS statement to OFX?

Save the statement as a PDF from UBS 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 UBS statements use?

UBS statements generally print dates as the order printed on the statement itself and amounts with the grouping printed on the statement itself. The converter reads the figures as printed and normalizes the output columns the same way for every bank.

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.

Do I need an account to convert a UBS statement?

No. There is no sign-up: upload the PDF, check the reconciliation result, download the file. Uploaded files and exports are deleted automatically within 15 minutes.

Which file should I upload — the PDF or a portal CSV export?

The statement PDF. It is the issued document and it carries the opening and closing balances the reconciliation check verifies against; a portal CSV has the transactions but nothing to prove them against.

Are amounts converted into another currency?

No. The converter changes layout, not currency: figures stay in CHF exactly as UBS printed them.

Can I convert statements for several UBS 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 UBS 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.

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.
