Regarding loose cannon with debit card, convert them to using a credit
card? Essentially free credit so long as you pay it off every month. Then
you only have to deal with it once every month.
The GnuCash matcher isn't perfect, but it works well.

Adrien,

those days if we didn't write a check then no bank transaction should appear...
other than bank charges. Much simpler times :-)
Now
Regarding import/update frequency, I would personally shoot for a
periodicity that generates a reasonably small number of transactions at a
time to handle in ten or fifteen minutes max, as that is when I start to
get careless in matching. That could mean daily for some users, or about a
week or
The Help/Guide and probably the wiki (as well as various threads in this
list) will provide more insight into how the Import Matcher works, along
with tips and tricks to use it most effectively.
My first question would be, "What is the reason for doing this daily?
What advantage over larger
Given a checking account with a number incidental and auto pay transactions
ocuring daily...
Is there a way to automate...- logging on to the bank daily- determining which
transactions have hit the bank but are not posted in GnuCash- then updating
GnuCash with those unrecorded transactions?
