First Foundation Bank is in the middle of a systems conversion, which is the exact moment QuickBooks feeds break and bank tiles get renamed. First Foundation is the bank built alongside a wealth-advisory firm, with its principal executive office relocated from Irvine, California to Dallas, Texas in 2021 (parent First Foundation Inc., ticker FFWM), serving clients in California, Florida, Hawaii, Nevada, and Texas with roughly $12 billion in assets. On April 1, 2026 First Foundation Bank merged into Sunflower Bank under FirstSun Capital Bancorp, with the system conversion targeted for around the end of the third quarter of 2026. When your feed breaks during that move or you need history it cannot reach, upload a First Foundation PDF statement to the converter at the top of this page and get the transactions back in a format QuickBooks accepts.
The converter turns a First Foundation Bank PDF statement into a .qbo Web Connect file that imports into QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop, plus matching Excel and CSV copies. Every transaction keeps its date, description, and amount, and the running total is checked against the statement before you export. Here is how First Foundation connects to QuickBooks, why the Sunflower Bank conversion changes things, and when converting the PDF is the better move.
Built for the statements US banks actually send, checked before it exports.
The converter adds up the transactions it parsed and matches that to the statement total before you export, so nothing is silently dropped.
Valid OFX 1.02 with QuickBooks Web Connect headers. Online and Desktop import it as a standard bank feed.
OCR runs before parsing, so a scanned or photographed paper statement comes out the same as a digital PDF.
Bulk upload for catch-up and cleanup work. Each file gets its own reconciliation check and its own exports.
Enter the password on upload. Multi-column and multi-page statement layouts are parsed too.
One conversion, three files: the .qbo for QuickBooks, an XLSX to review, and a CSV for everything else.
Three steps. No column-mapping wizard.
Drag in a PDF, a scan, or a phone photo. Password-protected and multi-page files are fine.
Every transaction is extracted and checked against the statement total. You see the parsed rows before exporting.
Download the .qbo and import it as a Web Connect bank feed. Excel and CSV are in the same download.

Yes. First Foundation Bank publishes its own QuickBooks and Quicken guides and supports both Web Connect, where you download a .qbo file and import it, and Express Web Connect, where QuickBooks aggregates transactions using your online banking login. Its commercial platform also exports QuickBooks, Quicken, CSV, and BAI2 formats. The catch is the move to Sunflower Bank: during a conversion the live feed is the first thing to break, so converting the PDF statement gives you the same data without waiting on the relink.
In QuickBooks Online, go to Transactions, Bank transactions, Link account, and search for First Foundation Bank, picking the entry that matches your service: the bank lists separate connections named for First Foundation Bank Commercial Online and First Foundation Bank Small Business Online. Sign in with that platform's credentials. In QuickBooks Desktop, use Bank Feeds and set up the account the same way, or import a downloaded Web Connect file. Pick the exact matching variant, because choosing the wrong platform name fails to authenticate, and if the feed will not link, convert the PDF statement with the tool above.
The most common reasons right now are the Sunflower Bank conversion and picking the wrong First Foundation entry. As the accounts move to Sunflower Bank systems, the First Foundation feed gets superseded and the correct QuickBooks tile changes to Sunflower Bank, so an old First Foundation connection can stop pulling data. The other cause is selecting the wrong service tile or, in QuickBooks search, landing on a different First bank entirely. Match the exact platform name, watch for the Sunflower Bank changeover, and if the feed still fails, convert the PDF statement with the tool above.
It means your First Foundation feed will need to be reconnected under Sunflower Bank, and during the cutover it may break entirely. First Foundation Inc. merged into FirstSun Capital Bancorp on April 1, 2026, and First Foundation Bank merged into Sunflower Bank, with the systems conversion targeted around the end of the third quarter of 2026. When that conversion runs, you will likely deactivate the First Foundation feed and set up the account again under Sunflower Bank, and First Foundation has historically asked users to set up accounts as new to avoid duplicate transactions. Convert any pre-conversion PDF statements so that history is preserved no matter how the feed changes.
Sign in to First Foundation online banking, open the account, and go to the statements or documents section to view your electronic statements. Pick the month you need and save it as a PDF with the download or print option. Online statement history is limited and a system conversion can shorten or relocate it, so download anything you need for bookkeeping now rather than waiting until after the Sunflower Bank cutover. Personal, commercial, and small business accounts all produce a standard PDF statement, and whatever the source, the PDF converts the same way.
Convert the First Foundation PDF to a .qbo file with the converter above, then import that file. In QuickBooks Online, go to Transactions, Bank transactions, then Upload from file, and choose the .qbo. In QuickBooks Desktop, go to File, Utilities, Import, Web Connect Files. QuickBooks asks which account the transactions belong to, then drops them into the banking review queue for matching and categorizing. This works whether the statement header reads First Foundation Bank or Sunflower Bank, which is why it is the dependable path through a merger.
Pick the First Foundation Bank entry that matches your service, Commercial Online or Small Business Online, and watch for it to be replaced by Sunflower Bank as the conversion proceeds. QuickBooks search returns many similarly named institutions: First Federal, First Financial, FirstBank, First Bank, First Horizon, First Hawaiian Bank, and Foundation Bank, among others. Choosing any of those points QuickBooks at the wrong bank and the login fails. Matching the exact name and platform avoids the most common connection error, and converting the actual PDF removes the picker problem entirely because the data comes from your own statement.
First Foundation statements convert cleanly because the layout stays consistent month to month. Checking and commercial statements list transactions in date order with a description and amount, separating deposits and credits from checks, withdrawals, and fees, with a balance summary, and treasury or analyzed accounts add a service-charge section. The converter strips out the summary boxes, fee tables, and check images, so only real transactions reach your .qbo file, and it reads scanned or photographed statements through OCR the same way it reads a digital PDF, which helps with older statements saved outside online banking.
Use the live QuickBooks feed for going-forward activity once your account is linked and the Sunflower Bank conversion has settled. Convert the PDF statement during the migration when the feed is down, when the First Foundation tile keeps failing or has been replaced, when a download comes back as CSV instead of .qbo, or when you need history the feed misses: pre-conversion months, opening balances for a new QuickBooks file, a catch-up period, or a closed account.
Accuracy is the part that matters most, because a converter that quietly drops or misreads a transaction costs far more time than it saves. The error usually surfaces during reconciliation, sometimes weeks later, while you chase a few dollars across a long register. This converter totals the transactions it parsed and checks that figure against the statement total before it lets you export, so the .qbo you import reflects every line First Foundation printed. You review the parsed rows in the preview first, then export once the numbers tie out.
