ABA (Australian Bankers Association or Cemtext file format) is the standard format all Australian online banks accept. This is an archaic fixed file format, and it’s hard to eye-ball for correctness.

A python library to parse ABA files.
A basic command line report of all the debit transactions in the ABA file (I use this to sanity check payments out of Xero)
