About Santander 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. Santander UK PDF statements use DD/MM/YYYY dates and GBP dot-decimal formatting. Transactions show Date, Description, Money out, Money in, and Balance columns. Sort code and account number appear in the header for account identification.
How Santander statements map to OFX
- Account currency
- GBP
- Statement sections read
- Current Account Statement, Balance brought forward, Balance carried forward, Statement from ... to ...
- 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 Santander description prefix ("Standing Order") takes 14 of them, leaving 18 for the merchant or counterparty.
Santander statement details the parser handles
- Sort code is given as 'Sort code: 09-01-28' plus an 8-digit Account number — the account number is masked on export
- Opening/closing balances use the British convention 'Balance brought forward £X,XXX.XX' / 'Balance carried forward £X,XXX.XX' (not 'Opening Balance')
