bluesnotred / camt2ofx

Convert CAMT.052 / CAMT.053 (XML) files to OFX

camt2ofx (compatible with Xero)

Convert CAMT.052 or CAMT.053 (XML) files to OFX.

We use this script to reliably import our ING bank transactions into Xero.

Xero uses Yodlee for its bank feeds. Unfortunately, Yodlee uses "screen scraping" technology to import the data, which has not proven to be reliable.

With us this resulted in:

• Incorrect debit / credit values
• Incomplete descriptions
• Duplicate transactions
• No separate "Name" & "Description" field

This script has been tested with the Dutch ING bank, via their camt.053 export. It should also work with other banks.

As long as Xero does not support native bank feeds for ING bank, we will rely on "camt2ofx".

camt2ofx's Issues

Error: undefined method `strftime' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

Under macOS Catalina 10.15.2 on the 2019 16" MacBook Pro, using the zsh shell, I performed the following steps:

• cloned the git repo as indicated
• cd into the repo and ran sudo gem install bundler. Output:

• bundle install, entering my system password to install to RubyGems. Output:

• ruby camt2ofx.rb test.xml to parse an XML file exported by ABN Amro Netherlands in the CAMT.053 format. Output (account number masked by me):

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug in this script? Thanks in advance!

undefined method `statements' for #<CamtParser

This is my first time using bluesnotred, and I am not having success. I have run bundle install and then I attempt to convert the CAMT XML file. However, I get the following error

camt2ofx.rb:11:in `<main>': undefined method `statements' for #<CamtParser::Format052::Base:0x00007fd4d2c37360> (NoMethodError)

How can I troubleshoot this?
