Frequently Asked Questions
Which QuickBooks versions support QBO import?
QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop Pro, Premier, and Enterprise all support QBO Web Connect import.
Why does QuickBooks reject my QBO file?
QBO files must use the OFX 1.6 standard. MintConvert generates OFX 1.6-compliant QBO files. If QuickBooks rejects the file, ensure your QuickBooks version is up to date.
Can I import historical bank statements into QuickBooks?
Yes — MintConvert converts any bank statement PDF regardless of date, so you can import historical statements going back as far as your bank provides them.
