It is a file format used for financial data files that contain transactions, statements, and other financial information. It is used as an open format for transferring data between vendors, consumers, and financial systems. It substituted the Open Financial Connectivity (.ofc) format used by Microsoft Money. It supports various financial transactions such as consumer and small business banking, bill payments, investments and tax downloads via Internet. This file is universally accepted by financial software, including Intuit Quicken, Microsoft Money and GnuCash.

OFX is used for Direct Connect which means it connects directly to a bank OFX server. For Mac users, OFX files can be opened by using GnuCash, Intuit Quicken, Reilly Technologies Moneydance and Apple Numbers. For Microsoft Windows users, they can be opened using GnuCash, Sage Accpac, Microsoft Money, Intuit Quicken and Reilly Technologies Moneydance.

Microsoft MoneyMicrosoft Money
Microsoft Money is the personal finance management software from Microsoft Corporation that preceded Microsoft Money Plus Sunset, which opens and edits files created by Money, but doesn't offer online support or web app services. Microsoft Money 2006, which was the final version before it was replaced, allowed its users to access their savings accounts through Internet banking. MS Money users created personal budgets, tracked their expenses, and balanced financial statements. It certainly needed Windows OS to function, but its 2000 to 2006 releases also worked compatibly with select Windows Mobile versions. Since Money Plus Sunset and its two editions are meant to replace Money Essentials and its related versions, they would have the same functions as their predecessors, except for the facility to import data files from non-US Money editions, to pay bills online, and to automatically download bank statements.

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .ofx. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.leave a comment
