What is OFX file?
The OFX (.OFX) file extension is a generic XML-based open-financial exchange file used by software applications to facilitate financial information exchange between financial institutions, financial data aggregators, or financial software. It is based on the Open Exchange Specification (OFX), a standardized set of data structures for exchanging financial data such as PIN security authentication with an online banking system.

What is CVS file?
A CVS file is a Canvas 3 Drawing File. It is used for storing drawings created with Canvas 3, a drawing and publishing application for Windows and Mac OS, though it can also be opened in Canvas X, a later version of Canvas. CVS files are saved in a vector image format that stores points, lines, shapes, colors, and font information. They may include layers, effects, styles, bitmaps, slideshows, animations, and audio information. [ ⏩ ] CVS file extension
Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from OFX to CVS?
To successfully convert the OFX file to CVS, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.OFX). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case CVS (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than CVS).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. OFX to CVS. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting OFX files to CVS files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension CVS, while before this step we had the OFX file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new CVS file, or not.
