I wouldn't count on it happening any time soon. Inertia works to our advantage here :). -absolutely, i just wanted to tell that i my opinion there is clear headwind for ofx and it's not the future, for several institutions i checked: capital one dropped ofx ~2018 schwab dropped ofx in 2020 us bank dropped ofx in 2021 and at ofxhome's list of institutions more and more are dead
Quicken has struck deals with many institutions, and it's that interface that ofxget typically uses -Intuit has sold off Quicken to a PE firm which is not working to improve ofx but to develop replacement fdx. (not compatible / not open) plus for institutions it's easier/secure/less liability to have 1-3 big "connectors (plaid/etc)" than to have thousands of individuals to connect https://github.com/csingley/ofxtools/issues/118#issuecomment-778504788 Regardless, using ofxget is only a small part of the ingest, and is fairly quick and easy to setup, and modular enough to easily replace in the future. -agree. If your institution supports ofxget and you already have/use ofx importers than using it is no-brainer, however if you are currently using cvs reports / importers then one should consider pros / cons. To me it's looking now that plaid / etc (aggregators) are most likely to result in most future proof way to "download" data, but it's not clear now what are the terms / pricing will be for individual users. Cause current developer account access approach is questionable. (example US Bank no longer allows non-production plaid accounts to get data) On Sunday, November 14, 2021 at 3:21:50 AM UTC-5 redst...@gmail.com wrote: > I wouldn't count on it happening any time soon.
