Five Star Bank is the New York community bank owned by Financial Institutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISI), with corporate headquarters in Warsaw, New York and its main operating hub in Rochester. It holds about $6.3 billion in assets and runs roughly 48 branches serving individuals, municipalities, and businesses across Western and Central New York and the Finger Lakes. Many of its business customers run their books in QuickBooks. If you bank with Five Star and need your transactions in QuickBooks, upload a Five Star Bank PDF statement at the top of this page to get a clean .QBO file.
The converter turns a Five Star 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 parsed total is checked against the statement total before you export. This page covers which Five Star Bank this is, how to handle the QuickBooks connection, and how to import the file.
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.

Three different institutions use the Five Star name, so confirm yours before you connect anything in QuickBooks. This page is about the New York Five Star Bank at five-starbank.com, owned by Financial Institutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISI). It is not the California Five Star Bank in Rancho Cordova and Roseville, which is owned by Five Star Bancorp (NASDAQ: FSBC), and it is not Five Star Credit Union, a member-owned credit union based in Dothan, Alabama that serves Alabama and Georgia. They are unrelated, with different routing numbers, so match the entity to your statement. The converter reads any of their PDF statements the same way.
Five Star Bank does not prominently publish its own QuickBooks or Quicken connection page, so the safest approach is to treat the live feed as unreliable and import your statement instead. Whether your account supports Direct Connect, Web Connect, or an aggregated feed can depend on your online banking profile, and aggregated connections in particular tend to stall after a login or platform change. Rather than wait for a feed to refresh, you can convert the PDF statement and get the same transactions in a .qbo file QuickBooks imports directly. That works no matter what connection method your account has.
Aggregated bank feeds break for ordinary reasons: a password reset, a new multi factor prompt, a digital banking app update, or a platform change on the bank's side. Five Star rebuilt its digital banking platform in 2020 and has continued to update its apps, and any such change can interrupt the credential-based connection QuickBooks relies on. The bank has also been winding down its banking-as-a-service program, though that affects fintech partners rather than core community accounts. When the feed goes quiet, the dependable fix is to import the statement, and converting the PDF to .qbo is the cleanest way to do that.
A native one click .QBO or .QFX export is not something Five Star Bank prominently documents, so do not count on it for every account. Even where a download exists, it only covers what the current platform holds online, which is usually a limited recent window rather than years of history. For older months, archived statements, or any period the bank will not produce on demand, the dependable path is to convert the PDF. The converter produces a .qbo file plus Excel and CSV copies, so you get a clean QuickBooks import without relying on the bank's feed being available that day.
The Five Star Bank brand was created in 2005 when Financial Institutions consolidated five Western New York community banks under one name: The National Bank of Geneva, Wyoming County Bank, First Tier Bank and Trust, Bath National Bank, and Pavilion State Bank. Its roots in the region trace back to the 1800s. If you once banked with one of those predecessors, your accounts have long since moved under the Five Star Bank name, and that is the entity to look for in QuickBooks and the name printed on the statement you convert.
Sign in to Five Star Digital Banking on the web or the mobile app, open the account, and go to the statements or documents area. Choose the account and the statement period you want and save it as a PDF. You may need to enroll in electronic statements first to see the online archive. Older transactions often live only inside those statement PDFs once they age out of the live feed, which is exactly when conversion helps. The converter reads any of these PDFs the same way, so a recent statement and a years-old one both produce a clean .qbo file.
Convert the Five Star Bank PDF to a .qbo file with the converter above, then import that file. In QuickBooks Online, go to Transactions, then Bank transactions, then Upload from file, and select the .qbo. In QuickBooks Desktop, use File, Utilities, Import, Web Connect Files. QuickBooks asks which account the transactions belong to and then drops them into the banking review queue for matching and categorizing, the same way a live feed would. Because you choose the account yourself, you also avoid connecting to the wrong Five Star entity by mistake.
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 Five Star Bank printed. You review the parsed rows in the preview first, then export once the numbers tie out.

Start by uploading a Five Star Bank statement in the converter above. If you also keep accounts at another New York bank, you can convert an M&T Bank statement to QuickBooks or an NBT Bank statement to QuickBooks the same way. If your books live in Excel instead, the same statement can become a spreadsheet with the bank statement to Excel converter, and a growing business buried in vendor bills can pair it with accounts payable automation. You can also see how the underlying PDF to QBO converter works, follow the steps to import bank statements into QuickBooks Online, read about the QBO file format, or convert any bank's statement from the bank statement to QuickBooks converter home page. Businesses banking elsewhere in upstate New York can convert a Community Bank NA statement with the same steps.
