Good morning, To add to what Gyle said, even though I recently made a mildly successful attempt to get aqbanking working with Bank of the West (BOW), I have decided to stick with downloading monthly qfx files that match my pdf statements. In addition to Gyle's reasons, what I like about this is:
- OFX direct connect support for non-Quicken applications is iffy. The old ofxhome info for BOW does not work, and I had to get the client id from the quicken logs. BOW tech support was unhelpful. - BOW seems to only support an old version of the OFX protocol (I was hoping to get check images using OFX 2.0). - The downloaded qfx files provide a way to reconstruct my accounts should anything go wrong with my gnucash db. - If I detect in the reconcile that I messed something up, the matching statements help me resolve the issue. -- Glenn S.
