Open the Converter →About the QBO Input Format
QuickBooks Online (QBO) is a widely used financial data format. The converter accepts .qbo, .ofx, .xml files. No pre-processing is required before loading — simply drop or open your file and the converter parses it automatically.
About the MT940 Output Format
MT940 is the output format produced by this converter. The output file preserves all data fields from your source QBO file and formats them according to the MT940 specification. The output is ready for direct use in applications that accept MT940 files.
The Toolbar
The toolbar across the top provides all primary actions. Use Open to browse for your QBO file, or drag and drop the file onto the source panel. Once a file is loaded, click Convert to MT940 to generate the output. Click Export MT940 to download the result. The Reset button clears all state for a new conversion.
Source (QBO) Panel
The left panel shows your loaded QBO data as a table preview. Column headers from your source file are shown in the header row. For large files, the preview is capped at 500 rows — a notice is shown if your file exceeds this limit. The full dataset is always converted regardless of the preview cap.
Output (MT940) Panel
The right panel displays the converted MT940 output. Before conversion it shows a placeholder. After clicking Convert to MT940, the panel renders the full output content. The panel is scrollable for any file size.
Output File Naming
The downloaded file is named to match your input file — only the extension is changed to .sta. This keeps your file set organised without requiring any renaming.
Privacy & Security
The QBO to MT940 Converter is built privacy-first. Your file is parsed and converted entirely inside your browser tab using JavaScript — no file content is ever transmitted to any server. This makes the converter appropriate for sensitive financial data.
Closing the browser tab clears all data from memory. No data is written to localStorage or any persistent browser storage.
