Using your PKO Bank Polski OFX file with accounting software

The OFX format (Open Financial Exchange) is designed for direct import into a wide range of accounting and personal finance management applications. After converting your PKO Bank Polski PDF statement to OFX, you can import this file to:

• Quicken: OFX is Quicken's native format for importing bank data. You can directly import the file via the File > File Import > Web Connect file menu.
• Microsoft Money: Similar to Quicken, Microsoft Money supports OFX imports for bank statements.
• Other Software: Many other accounting platforms, particularly those with a focus on desktop applications, offer an option to import OFX files. You typically look for a "Bank Statement Import" or "Web Connect" option within your software.

When importing, you will usually need to match the imported account with an existing account in your software. The OFX file structure includes account identifiers, which help in this matching process.

Example PKO Bank Polski OFX Output

Here is a simplified example of how transactions from a PKO Bank Polski statement might appear when converted to an OFX structure. While the actual OFX file is XML-based, this table shows the key data points that software would interpret from a few transactions in PLN:

Transaction Date	Value Date	Description	Debit (PLN)	Credit (PLN)	Balance (PLN)
05/01/2024	05/01/2024	Przelew wychodzący – Sklep Internetowy X	120.50		4879.50

10/01/2024	10/01/2024	Opłata za prowadzenie konta	15.00		8128.70

Each row represents a transaction that will be structured into the OFX file. The OFX format groups these transactions under an account and provides metadata like bank ID and account number for proper identification during import.

Does it work with scanned PKO Bank Polski statements?

Yes, the converter is designed to handle both digitally generated PDF statements and scanned or photographed PKO Bank Polski statements. Advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology is used to accurately read transaction data from image-based PDFs. This ensures that even if your statement is a scan, the relevant details like transaction dates, descriptions, and amounts are extracted correctly. The system also verifies the extracted totals against the opening and closing balances printed on the statement to maintain accuracy, flagging any discrepancies for your review.
