Macquarie Statement Format Details
Understanding the specific layout and structure of Macquarie PDF statements helps ensure accurate conversion to QFX. Here is what our parser handles for this bank:
1
Macquarie Bank statements use Australian date format (DD/MM/YYYY) and display amounts in AUD with two decimal places — no currency symbol prefix appears inline per transaction
2
Transaction descriptions for Macquarie Cash Management Account (CMA) include a reference code in square brackets (e.g., "[REF12345678]") — this reference must be preserved as the transaction ID for reconciliation purposes
3
Macquarie business account statements display a "Facility ID" in the header distinct from the account number — use the account number field for the OFX/QBO accountId, not the facility ID
4
BPAY payments are identified with the prefix "BPAY" followed by biller code and customer reference number — biller codes should map to vendor/payee fields in accounting imports
5
Statements from Macquarie's investment and wealth platform include "Platform Reference" numbers linking transactions to managed fund activity — these are reference data and should not be treated as payee names
Supported Statement Versions
- 2019-2024 formats supported
- Macquarie Cash Management Account (CMA), Business Transaction Account, and credit card statements tested
Known Issues We Handle
- Multi-currency transactions for international wire transfers display the foreign amount and exchange rate in a sub-row beneath the AUD settlement amount — the sub-row must not be imported as a separate transaction
- Macquarie credit card statements list pending transactions in a separate section with no settlement date — pending rows should be skipped during OFX/QBO export to avoid duplicate imports after settlement

Pro Tips for Converting Macquarie to QFX
1
For Macquarie accounts with multi-currency transactions, verify that the QFX export shows currency codes (USD, CAD, EUR) alongside amounts. Our converter preserves original currency information in the description field when converting to a single base currency.
2
QFX files from Macquarie statements include financial institution identifiers that Quicken uses to link imported transactions to your existing account. Verify the account association during import.
Converting Macquarie Statements to QFX (Quicken Financial Exchange)
Macquarie produces statements with unique characteristics that impact conversion accuracy to formats like QFX. Specifically, macquarie business account statements display a "facility id" in the header distinct from the account number — use the account number field for the ofx/qbo accountid, not the facility id. The QFX conversion process is optimized to handle this bank-specific format, using advanced OCR trained on thousands of Macquarie statement samples to achieve industry-leading extraction accuracy for your QFX exports.
QFX exports include proper financial institution identification that enables Macquarie transactions to link correctly with Quicken's online banking features. The conversion process embeds Macquarie's routing number and account identifiers in the QFX file header, ensuring Quicken recognizes the source and can match transactions to existing accounts during import.
Another consideration for Macquarie statements: bpay payments are identified with the prefix "bpay" followed by biller code and customer reference number — biller codes should map to vendor/payee fields in accounting imports. The QFX conversion process handles this automatically, applying bank-specific parsing rules that ensure accurate extraction even from complex multi-page statements with hundreds of transactions. This specialized approach delivers consistently clean output regardless of statement length or complexity.
QFX is Quicken's proprietary extension of the OFX format, optimized specifically for Intuit's Quicken personal finance software. While based on the Open Financial Exchange standard, QFX files include Quicken-specific fields for enhanced transaction categorization, investment tracking, and account management. This format has been the standard for Quicken users since the 1990s and remains the preferred import format for Quicken Desktop on both Windows and Mac platforms.
When to Choose QFX for Macquarie
Choose QFX when you use Quicken as your primary personal finance management tool. This format is essential for Quicken users who want seamless bank statement imports with automatic transaction categorization and payee matching. QFX is particularly useful for maintaining long-term financial records in Quicken, as it preserves the full transaction history with proper categorization.
Importing Macquarie Data
In Quicken Desktop, go to File > File Import > Web Connect File and select your QFX file. Quicken will automatically recognize the file format and guide you through linking it to the appropriate account. Review the transactions in the Downloaded Transactions tab, then accept or match them to existing entries. For best results, import QFX files regularly to keep your Quicken registers up to date.
