The bank export is rejected
The destination says the file is invalid without identifying the broken header, XML structure, or required metadata.

Import failures
Does this sound familiar?
Bank-file failures often hide behind vague destination-app messages. Start with the file evidence.
Transactions are missing
A malformed date, amount, account block, or duplicate transaction identifier can make part of a statement disappear.
The next import creates duplicates
Unstable or reused FITID values can make the same transactions look new—or cause legitimate transactions to be skipped.
The account will not map
QuickBooks and Quicken may reject a readable file when institution, account, or destination-specific markers do not match.
CAMT.053 works in one system, not another
Namespace versions, balances, dates, references, and destination mappings can differ even when the XML is well formed.
A DATEV workflow breaks downstream
The supported source bank file, a conversion step, or the DATEV import profile may be responsible. Native DATEV files are not parsed here.
A controlled diagnostic pass
How it works
Upload or paste
Submit an OFX, QFX, QBO, CAMT.053, or MT940 file for a request-time diagnostic pass.
Review structured diagnostics
See the detected family, likely import blockers, compatibility guidance, and practical next steps.
Correct or regenerate, then retry
Keep the original export, make controlled changes, and reconcile the destination after importing again.
Current supported scope
What CorrectBankFile diagnoses
Structural diagnosis helps identify likely blockers. It is not exhaustive schema validation, accounting advice, or a guarantee that every destination will accept the file.
OFX SGML and XML structure
Headers, root structure, encoding declarations, and recognizable OFX-family content.
Account and institution metadata
Account blocks, account types, bank identifiers, and QBO/QFX destination markers.
Dates, amounts, and transaction IDs
Malformed timestamps, suspicious amount values, missing IDs, and duplicate FITID values.
Bounded CAMT.053 structure
Namespace version, statements, accounts, balances, entries, dates, currencies, and references.
MT940 bank statement structure
Core statement tags, balances, transaction lines, dates, currencies, and bounded profile-aware diagnostics.
Sensitive finance data
Privacy deserves more than a footnote
Bank files may contain account identifiers, balances, transactions, payees, and memo text. CorrectBankFile processes the submitted file for the diagnostic request and avoids storing raw financial payloads by default.
Developer and integration questions
Evaluating a bank-file integration?
The public product is the web checker. General-purpose API keys, public schemas, and self-service developer access are not currently offered, but the integration overview explains the current position.
