I changed [-5:EST] to [+2:EST] and the dates are working. But I don't know why that would work.

This appears to be the behavior of a bug in libofx where the offset is applied in the wrong direction, i.e. a GMT offset of -5 hours is added to GMT making 2021-07-21T02:00:00 into 2021-07-20T21:00:00 when it should be subtracted making 2021-07-22T07:00:00. That bug is supposed to be patched in the GnuCash 4.9 AIO packages.

Usually it clarifies the source time reference of the data.

The dates seem to have 0200 as their time; subtracting 5 hours from that would return -3 o'clock (and presumably shift the date back one). You could do a test where you modify your OFX file to remove [-5:EST] from all transactions (you can do that easily in an editor), then try to import it and see whether this fixes the dates. After that the question is whether that [-5:EST] is valid or not.

I record credit card bills when I pay them (electronically) and they are recorded by the payee on the same date. However, they usually hit my bank the next banking day. This isn't and shouldn't be a problem or concern. Actual physical checks take even longer to show up at the bank. This is all normal.

Gnucash just accepts what they give you. Sometimes it may appear to be incorrect when it is a misunderstanding about whether transactions are posted on the same day they occur. Does it really make a difference?
