About Barclays statements
OFX (Open Financial Exchange) is an XML-based format designed specifically for exchanging financial data between institutions and personal finance software. Originally developed by Microsoft, Intuit, and CheckFree, OFX is the standard import format for Quicken, Mint, and many other financial management applications. Barclays PDF statements use Date, Description, Money out, Money in, and Balance columns. Dates use DD/MM/YYYY format and amounts use GBP with standard UK number formatting. Sort code and account number appear in the header for account identification.
How Barclays statements map to OFX
- Account currency
- GBP
- Statement sections read
- Current Account Statement, Savings Account Statement, Balance brought forward, Balance carried forward
- Typical description prefixes
- Direct Debit, Standing Order, Bill Payment, Faster Payment
The account currency, GBP, is written into the OFX CURDEF tag. Because the account is in GBP, not USD, the file header declares UTF-8 so accents and umlauts in descriptions survive. The OFX <NAME> field is cut to 32 characters. The longest Barclays description prefix ("Standing Order") takes 14 of them, leaving 18 for the merchant or counterparty.
Barclays statement details the parser handles
- Money amounts are unsigned and always prefixed with £; debit vs credit is reconstructed from running balance arithmetic (prev ± amount = balance) within 0.01 tolerance
- Opening/closing labels are 'Balance brought forward' and 'Balance carried forward' (not 'Opening/Closing Balance')
