Open QFX File

Cannot import QFX file into Quicken

QFX

Files with the QFX Quicken Transfer extension are used to transfer data from one version of quicken to another. They are part of the Quicken financial software and are used to save the financial data imported into the software. It includes account balances, transactions, discounts and more information that is recorded in a standardized format.

The QFX format is Quicken's proprietary format, although it is similar to the open OFX format.

Sometimes, due to some errors, the QXF file cannot be imported into Quicken.
