QIF Format

Import Bank Statement to MYOBPDF in, MYOB-ready QIF out

MYOB doesn't read PDF. AccountRight, MYOB Business, and MYOB Essentials all import QIF and OFX natively — but every bank ships PDFs. Drop your statement below; we extract every transaction and give you a MYOB-ready QIF with DD/MM/YYYY dates pre-set for AU/NZ. Import straight into Banking → Import statements.

Why Use Our Import Bank Statement to MYOB Tool?

Bridges MYOB's missing PDF support

MYOB accepts QIF, OFX, QFX, and OFC — but not PDF. Banks ship PDFs. We extract every transaction and give you the QIF MYOB actually accepts.

DD/MM/YYYY pre-set for AU/NZ

MYOB's own help docs explicitly require DD/MM/YYYY for AU/NZ files. We default to it and let you toggle to MM/DD/YYYY for US installs. The #1 cause of MYOB QIF import failures — locale mismatch — is gone.

Multi-account statements stay separated

Joint PDFs come back as one QIF with proper !Account blocks. MYOB prompts you to map each one at import — no hand-sorting in the ledger.

How to import a PDF bank statement into MYOB

1

Download your PDF statement

Log into internet banking, save the statement as PDF. Even when QIF isn't offered, PDF almost always is. Password-protected and multi-page statements are supported.

2

Upload the PDF

Drop the PDF above, or click to browse. Accepts PDF, PNG, JPG up to 10MB.

3

Pick date format, download QIF, import to MYOB

Pick DD/MM/YYYY (AU / NZ / UK) or MM/DD/YYYY (US) to match your MYOB region. Click Download to save the .qif. In MYOB Business / Essentials: Banking → Bank transactions → Import statements. In AccountRight: Banking → Bank Register → Get Statement.

Why MYOB AccountRight won't read your bank PDF

MYOB rejects PDF outright

AccountRight, MYOB Business, and MYOB Essentials accept QIF, OFX, QFX, OFC — but not PDF. MYOB Essentials' own help docs say it: "save the bank statement as a .QIF or .OFX file." PDF isn't on the list.

Wrong date format silently corrupts reconciliation

AU/NZ MYOB expects DD/MM/YYYY. A US-formatted QIF (03/04/2026) lands March 4 transactions on April 3. The import "succeeds" — reconciliation just never matches. The locale toggle on this page prevents it.

Aged statements live outside Bank Feeds

Bank Feeds only pulls a rolling window. For older months — FY backfills, audit prep, restoring an inactive account — Bank Feeds won't help. PDF → QIF is the workaround MYOB community threads point to.

Free converters are scarce, paid ones lock features

A recurring complaint on the MYOB Community: every PDF-to-QIF tool is a paid subscription. We give you 2 pages free per day, no card required, no email signup — enough for one statement most months.

AccountRight bookkeepers, FY backfills, fintech closures

AccountRight users with PDF-only banks

Smaller banks, credit unions, and offshore accounts often ship PDF only. This bridges the gap so AccountRight gets the data — no retyping.

MYOB advisors and bookkeepers

Clients send statements in whatever format their bank gives. Standardise to a MYOB-ready QIF before importing into each client file.

Aged statements outside Bank Feeds

Bank Feeds only pulls a rolling 90-day window. For FY backfills or audit prep, convert old PDFs to QIF and import them.

Migrating into a new MYOB file

Bringing 12+ months of statements into a fresh MYOB file? Convert month-by-month and import sequentially — MYOB flags any duplicates at import for review.

Joint and multi-account statements

Checking + savings + credit card on one PDF? You get one QIF with separate !Account blocks, ready to map per ledger.

Closing fintech accounts (Up, Wise, Revolut)

Australian fintechs only export PDFs. Pull those statements into MYOB permanently before the account closes for good.

Frequently Asked Questions — Import Bank Statement to MYOB

QCan MYOB import PDF bank statements directly?

No. MYOB AccountRight, MYOB Business, and MYOB Essentials all accept QIF, OFX, QFX, and OFC — but not PDF. MYOB's own help docs direct users to convert PDFs first. It's the most common question on the MYOB Community forum.

QWhich MYOB products does this work for?

All current MYOB products: AccountRight (Plus and Premier, desktop AU/NZ), MYOB Business, MYOB Essentials, and MYOB Ledger. All four accept the same QIF format.

QHow do I import the QIF into MYOB?

AccountRight: Banking → Bank Register → Get Statement → choose the .qif file. MYOB Business / Essentials: Banking → Bank transactions → Import statements. MYOB prompts for the destination account at import.

QWhich date format should I pick?

DD/MM/YYYY for Australia, New Zealand, and the UK — what MYOB's help docs explicitly require. MM/DD/YYYY only if you're on a US MYOB install. The page auto-detects your region but you can override.

QWhat if I already have an OFX or QFX file from my bank?

MYOB imports OFX and QFX directly — no conversion needed. Upload them in Banking → Import statements as-is. Use the OFX → QBO / QFX → QBO links above the FAQ only if you're also moving to QuickBooks.

QWill multi-account or joint statements stay separated?

Yes. Each account section is extracted separately. The QIF has one !Account block per account, so MYOB prompts you to map each at import time — no flattening, no hand-sorting.

QMy bank prints German / Spanish / Hindi headers. Does that work?

Yes. The extractor reads transaction tables in any language and normalises dates and amounts before generating the QIF. Output is always MYOB-readable regardless of source language.

QIs my statement stored anywhere?

No. The PDF is processed in memory, never written to disk, deleted immediately on response. The QIF is generated and downloaded directly to your machine. No persistent storage at any point.
