The OFC file extension is used to store financial files in the Open Financial Connectivity (OFC) format. OFC was developed by Microsoft and is used to preserve financial information, such as bank balances, transactions, credit/debit information, and other related data. The file contents are stored in an XML format and can be accessed usingmany accounting software applications such as QuickBooks. OFC is designed to store data in a standardized format, which makes compatibility with different applications easier.
Format Structure
The OFC format consists of an XML schema that defines the structure of the document including properties, elements, attributes, data types, and other information. The XML elements are grouped into categories that reflect the type of financial information that is stored within the file. These categories include accounts, transactions, transfer transactions, and more. The contents of the document can then be parsed for specific fields such as currency typeor amount due. There are also various rules and guidelines that must be followed when working with OFC documents.
File Compatibility
The OFC format can be read and written with many popular accounting software programs such as QuickBooks and Intuit Point of Sale. It is also compatible with other popular financial management applications, like Moneydance or Cash Management Solutions. Additionally, OpenOffice Calc, Lotus 1-2-3, and many other spreadsheet programs support reading and writing OFC files. Other similar files extensions includes QFX (Quicken Financial Exchange), QIF (Quicken Interchange Format), and QBO (QuickBooks Online).

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .OFC) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .OFC extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .OFC file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .OFC extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .OFC extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .OFC file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .OFC file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .OFC file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .OFC file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .OFC file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
