Upload your bank statement

Northwest Bank just absorbed two more banks, and the conversion broke the QuickBooks connection for the customers who came over. Northwest Bancshares completed its acquisition of Penns Woods Bancorp on July 25 2025, merging Jersey Shore State Bank and Luzerne Bank into Northwest Bank. The customer and data conversion and branch rebranding happened over the weekend of July 26 and 27 2025, and business online and mobile banking moved to Northwest Treasury Pro starting Monday July 28 2025. Former Jersey Shore State Bank and Luzerne Bank accounts now run under the Northwest Bank name, which retires the old connection and forces a relink. While the feed is sorted out, you can work straight from the statement. Upload a Northwest Bank 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 Northwest 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 Northwest Bank connects to QuickBooks, why the Penns Woods conversion causes failed links, and when converting the PDF is the better move.

A real .qbo file QuickBooks accepts

Built for the statements US banks actually send, checked before it exports.

Reconciliation

Every total checked against the statement

The converter adds up the transactions it parsed and matches that to the statement total before you export, so nothing is silently dropped.

Web Connect

A genuine .qbo, not a renamed CSV

Valid OFX 1.02 with QuickBooks Web Connect headers. Online and Desktop import it as a standard bank feed.

OCR

Scans and phone photos read line by line

OCR runs before parsing, so a scanned or photographed paper statement comes out the same as a digital PDF.

Volume

A year of statements in one batch

Bulk upload for catch-up and cleanup work. Each file gets its own reconciliation check and its own exports.

Locked files

Password-protected PDFs handled

Enter the password on upload. Multi-column and multi-page statement layouts are parsed too.

Exports

Excel and CSV in the same download

One conversion, three files: the .qbo for QuickBooks, an XLSX to review, and a CSV for everything else.

How to convert your statement to QuickBooks

Three steps. No column-mapping wizard.

1

Every transaction is extracted and checked against the statement total. You see the parsed rows before exporting.

3

Import into QuickBooks

Download the .qbo and import it as a Web Connect bank feed. Excel and CSV are in the same download.

Questions worth answering

The specifics that decide whether the import is clean. If your case is not here, email [email protected].

Does Northwest Bank work with QuickBooks?

Yes. Northwest Bank works with QuickBooks. It supports a downloadable Web Connect (.qbo) file and an aggregated bank feed in QuickBooks Online, and business customers connect through Northwest Treasury Pro, the business and treasury platform. The connection works once the account is linked to the current Northwest Bank entry with your online banking credentials. The friction is that customers who came from Jersey Shore State Bank or Luzerne Bank may still have QuickBooks pointed at the old, retired connection from before the July 2025 conversion.

How do I reconnect Northwest Bank to QuickBooks after the Penns Woods conversion?

To reconnect, back up your data, then in QuickBooks deactivate the old account feed still tied to Jersey Shore State Bank or Luzerne Bank, and add the account again by searching for Northwest Bank and signing in with your current credentials. Business accounts now connect through Northwest Treasury Pro, so use those login details. In QuickBooks Desktop, deactivate Bank Feeds on the account first, then set it up fresh. Match the reconnected account to your existing register so history is not duplicated. If the relink stalls or the first download comes back empty, convert the Northwest Bank PDF statement to a .qbo file with the tool above and import it to close the gap.

Why is Northwest Bank not connecting to QuickBooks?

Northwest Bank usually fails to connect because a former Jersey Shore State Bank or Luzerne Bank account is still tied to a retired connection. After the July 26 and 27 2025 conversion, those old logins stopped working, so QuickBooks keeps trying credentials that no longer exist and returns an error. Business users who were not yet enrolled in Northwest Treasury Pro hit the same wall. The fix is to deactivate the old feed and reconnect under Northwest Bank. Rather than wait through a relink and a feed that only reaches back about 90 days, download the Northwest Bank PDF statement and convert it to a .qbo file with the tool above so the transactions land in QuickBooks now.

How do I download Northwest Bank transactions to QuickBooks?

Log in to Northwest Bank online banking at northwest.bank, or Northwest Treasury Pro for a business account, open the account, and use the export or download option, choosing the QuickBooks Web Connect (.qbo) format and a date range. Import the file in QuickBooks through Upload from file in QuickBooks Online, or File, Utilities, Import, Web Connect Files in Desktop. The live download usually reaches back only about 90 days, so older periods are out of range. If the .qbo download is missing or comes back as Quicken QFX, save the PDF statement for that period and convert it instead.

How do I download a Northwest Bank statement as a PDF?

Sign in to Northwest Bank online banking at northwest.bank, open the account, and go to the statements or documents section to view your eStatements. Pick the month you need and save it as a PDF with the download or print option. Business users find statements inside Northwest Treasury Pro. Online statement history is usually limited to a couple of years, and former Jersey Shore or Luzerne periods may sit behind the converted profile, so request older statements from the bank if they are not listed. Whatever the source, the PDF you download converts the same way.

How do I import a Northwest Bank statement into QuickBooks?

Convert the Northwest Bank 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, exactly as a working Northwest Bank feed would, without waiting on a reconnection.

What a Northwest Bank statement looks like to the converter

Northwest Bank statements convert cleanly because the layout stays consistent month to month. Personal and business checking statements list transactions in date order with a description and amount, separating deposits and credits from checks, withdrawals, and fees, with a daily balance summary. Commercial and analysis accounts add service-charge sections. The converter strips out the summary boxes, fee tables, and marketing inserts, 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, including older Jersey Shore State Bank or Luzerne Bank statements you still have on file.

When to convert versus connect the feed

Use the Northwest feed for going-forward activity once the account is linked under Northwest Bank and behaving, since it keeps QuickBooks current with little effort. Convert the PDF statement when a relink after the Penns Woods conversion is pending, when a business account is mid-move to Northwest Treasury Pro, when a download comes back as QFX instead of .qbo, or when you need history the feed misses: older periods, opening balances for a new QuickBooks file, a catch-up month, or a closed account.

How accurate is the converted Northwest Bank file?

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 Northwest Bank printed. You review the parsed rows in the preview first, then export once the numbers tie out.
