Brendan <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #3 from Brendan <[email protected]> --- You are a little later to the party. I started using KMM 20 years ago. Back then you could use the Map Account option to connect to many banks and download your transactions easily. I had about 12 accounts mapped at the peak. Every night I would run "Update all accounts" and I would get all of the transactions from the 12 accounts in about 30 seconds. This was a very easy way to check to see if any suspicious transactions occurred. You would think the banks would support this option. It wasn't always perfect but one of the developers would always work with me to figure out what was wrong and fix it. Usually the bank was not following the OFX spec. Many hours were spent keeping the feature working for me (thanks Thomas). Over the past 10 years every bank I used stopped supporting Direct Connect (in the US). It has been many years since it worked on any of my banks. Most provide an OFX file that I can download and import. Hardly as convenient. One of my main banks only provides a CSV file, which does not import as seamlessly. Now I download my transactions once a week and each bank takes a few minutes. Very frustrating. There used to be a site where you could find the settings required for direct connect called OFXHome.com. You could also see if your bank was working for others. That hasn't been around for a while. https://web.archive.org/web/20190209122346/http://www.ofxhome.com/ I think Cory Doctorow explains it all in his book Enshitification. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
