Open Financial Exchange

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Open Financial Exchange (OFX) arising from Microsoft's OFC and Intuit's Open Exchange is a data-stream format for exchanging financial information.

The OFX standard was announced on the 16 January 1997 by Microsoft, Intuit and CheckFree and was designed as a unified technical specification to converge their respective mechanisms.

Versions 1.0–1.6 relied on SGML for data exchange whereas all versions since rely on XML. OFX is protocol-independent but generally consists of CGI scripts contacted over TCP.
