David, I have reset the setting to those shown in the help screen for the importer. I will see if that clears my issue on my next import. That should be in the next 2 weeks. Thank you for the guidance.

Namely, it wants to add all the transactions as new, but when I click on (c)lear it finds the matching transaction. I don't know what changed in the importer, but it was functioning correctly before the upgrade to 5.5. However, going back to 5.3 doesn't solve the issue. It was working fine for years and I thought the problem was with Citi Bank, but now that it is functioning the same with a different institution, I think it must be GC related. I'll be curious, now that we are at the end of a month, if other users are experiencing the same issue.

I have found that I need to treat files from different banks quite differently. One FI even reverses the signs of purchases vs payments compared to the rest of the world (even from other merchants using the same credit card servicer) in their OFX files. OFX/QFX, and QIF files all use the generic importer for the bulk of the import process and CSV imports use a different process depending the purpose of the import. If you find that there are any quirks that appear to be wrong or strange come back here with specific questions.

So, I don't know what was going on, but the end result was normal?
