NSC | Resolving French Character Display Issues in NetSuite OFX Imports
Users working with NetSuite’s Match Bank Data feature may encounter an issue where French accented characters appear as unreadable or corrupted text when importing OFX files. This typically occurs during navigation to: Transactions → Match Bank Data → Banking Import History → Upload File.
The issue stems from a character encoding mismatch:
- Some OFX files are commonly encoded in ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1)
- NetSuite’s default parser expects files encoded in UTF-8
Because NetSuite does not automatically detect or convert character encoding, any non-UTF-8 file results in misinterpreted characters—especially accented letters (e.g., é, è, à), which appear as ASCII “garbage.” This is expected system behavior
