Alder Books Reconciliation: OFX 1.0.3 bank statement

OFX 1.0.3 bank statement for Alder Books Reconciliation. An OFX 1.0.3 bank download in the SGML form: nine colon-delimited header lines, a blank line, then unclosed tags inside <OFX>. It carries 24 STMTTRN records with DTPOSTED in YYYYMMDD form and TRNAMT signed, plus a LEDGERBAL of 10236.00 dated 20260824. Line endings are CRLF, as OFX 1.x files from banks are.

Testing contract

Expected to pass
Scenario
Parse the OFX and reconcile the ledger balance against the transaction amounts.
Expected result
The header declares VERSION:103 and DATA:OFXSGML; 24 STMTTRN records parse with 8 CREDIT and 16 DEBIT types; and their TRNAMT values applied to the opening 5000.00 give the LEDGERBAL BALAMT 10236.00. An XML parser fails on this file because OFX 1.x tags are not closed.

What is a .ofx file?

OFX (Open Financial Exchange) is the interchange format banks and personal-finance software use to move statements, transaction lists and balances. Version 1.x is SGML: its tags are opened and not closed, so it looks like XML and is not, and an XML parser rejects it. Version 2.x is real XML with the same element names.

How to use this file

Use an example OFX file to test bank-statement importers, SGML-versus-XML handling, and running-balance reconciliation against the declared ledger balance. Accounts, amounts and institutions here are synthetic.

How to use this file for testing

“Alder Books Reconciliation: OFX 1.0.3 bank statement” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Data import. Realistic faker-generated datasets with documented schemas for testing import and ETL flows.

Documented properties for this file: ASCII · CRLF. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.

Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such, expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.

Data fixtures document their exact quirks (delimiters, encodings, null handling, schema, and row counts) in the spec table. Point your parser or importer at the file and assert it handles the documented edge cases; clean and deliberately-messy siblings make before/after diffs straightforward.
