Convert a file to FIN

To convert other file formats to the "Financial Message" file type, you need software like SWIFT Alliance Access or a similar tool.

About FIN files

A .fin file is a multi-purpose data container, most frequently serving as a SWIFT Financial Message representing banking transactions (like MT103 or MT940) in plain text. It often also appears as a Korean Patent Application created by KIPO e-Fine software, or as a legacy printer driver file for Corel WordPerfect.

The Challenge: SWIFT files contain raw, unformatted text blocks heavily reliant on banking codes, making them illegible to standard users and incompatible with basic office software. Similarly, KIPO files are specialized archives that require regional government software to open, while proprietary WordPerfect printer definitions are obsolete on modern operating systems.

The Solution:

For Banking: Convert SWIFT text data to PDF for clean, readable documentation or CSV to import transaction data into Microsoft Excel.
For Patents: KIPO files are often ZIP containers in disguise; convert or rename them to access the internal documents.
For Archiving: Convert legacy data to PDF/A to ensure long-term preservation without proprietary software lock-in.

Convert.Guru analyzes your FIN file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
