OFX Sample Files
Open Financial Exchange (.ofx) files encode bank, credit-card, and loan account activity in a standardized financial interchange format. Used by financial institutions and accounting tools, OFX combines statement metadata, balances, and transaction ledgers in a single portable file. Use sample .ofx files to validate statement imports, reconciliation logic, transaction classification, and parser handling across banking and finance ingestion workflows.

Where is the machine-readable manifest?
Use the manifest when you need stable names, SHA256 values, and URLs for automation.
Use in code — curl, Python, Node, wget
Copy any snippet directly into scripts, test suites, or CI pipelines. All URLs are stable and publicly accessible with no auth required.

Validation Methodology
- Validate extension and MIME detection before processing.
- Benchmark performance with small and larger files.
- Test malformed-input handling and error messaging.
