How to export your transactions from PenFed Credit Union
PenFed (Pentagon Federal Credit Union; ABA routing 256078446) historically supported QuickBooks/Quicken feeds, but in Nov 2023 it blocked third-party aggregators/screen-scraping and migrated toward the Akoya data-access network; members report ongoing breakage (QBO Error 103, Quicken CC-502 / CC-555, repeated reauthorization). It still offers manual downloads from PenFed Online. EXPORT STEPS: 1) Log in at PenFed Online (home.penfed.org / penfed.org). 2) Click the account name to open its transaction history. 3) Tick the checkbox beside each transaction you want (or select all). 4) Scroll to the 'Download Transactions' section, choose the format (QFX for Quicken, QIF, OFX, or CSV for Excel) and click Download. ACCOUNT-TYPE QUIRK (important): checking and savings accounts CAN export CSV/Excel/QFX/QIF/OFX, but CREDIT CARD accounts CANNOT export to any spreadsheet/financial format at all (PDF statement only - must convert the PDF), and PenFed credit-card QFX files have a known sign-reversal bug. There is also no combined multi-account download - you must export each account separately. CSV layout: Date, Description, Amount (single signed column for many products) or separate Debit/Credit depending on product, plus Balance and sometimes Check Number. Quirks: header row present; US MDY dates; layout differs by product (checking vs credit card); balance column may be included. IDENTIFIERS: A workaround corroborated across MULTIPLE QuickBooks/Quicken community posts is to set the OFX file to ORG='PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION', FID=10360, INTU.BID=10360 (INTU.USERID=10360) and import successfully - so I've populated fid/org/intuBid with 10360 at MEDIUM confidence. CAVEAT: 10360 is community-verified for making QuickBooks accept the file, not a confirmed Intuit-published BID, and PenFed's own live feeds are being deprecated - validate before shipping. Page angle: convert PenFed CSV/QFX (and especially credit-card PDFs) to a QuickBooks-accepted QBO now that its live feeds are unreliable.
Once you have the file, drop it into the converter above. LedgerBridge auto-detects the date, amount and description columns — adjust the mapping if needed, choose QBO for QuickBooks (or QFX for Quicken, OFX for Xero), and download.
Tips for PenFed Credit Union files
- Choose MM/DD/YYYY as the date format if auto-detect guesses wrong.
- If withdrawals come in as positive numbers, tick “Flip amount sign”.
- For credit-card exports, set the account type to Credit card.
- If QuickBooks rejects the file, open Advanced and confirm the INTU.BID — selecting “PenFed Credit Union” in the bank dropdown autofills it.

Is my PenFed Credit Union data uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your statement and account number never leave your device — safe even for client confidentiality requirements.
Will the file import into QuickBooks?
Yes. We generate a valid OFX 1.0.2 (SGML) document with the correct header and identifiers. Convert a small file free first to confirm it imports cleanly, then unlock unlimited.
