Wells Fargo Bank changes

[Jimmy Crossley]

Solved!

Thanks to everyone who responded to my posting about using Wells Fargo with gnucash.   I am especially thankful to Robin – the APPID and APPVER is what got it working for me using the new URL, etc.   I also had to uncheck the “Force SSLv3” checkbox on the OFX tab in the User Configuration.  I sniffed my traffic and it is using TLS 1.0, which is just about as safe as possible right now.  Now the real test is to see if this configuration keeps working after the deadline of 30 Nov.  I will (of course) post back if any problems arise.

Here are the settings I used to access Wells Fargo OFX Direct Connect:

FID: 3000
ORG: WF
Server URL: https://ofxdc.wellsfargo.com/ofx/process.ofx
APPID: QWIN
APPVER: 1900

The original APPVER that I got from the link the John posted put 1200 as the APPVER. This resulted in an error that I found in the ofx.log file. I experimented with the "Wachovia" settings and I had success when I added the APPID and APPVER to the Expert Settings in the User setup wizard.

I do not use Wells Fargo for bill payment.  Recently, since Wells Fargo probably still thinks I am using Quicken, I received the following email.  I am currently using the setup I found at http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/OFX_Direct_Connect_Bank_Settings (Server URL: https://www.oasis.cfree.com/3001.ofxgp, FID: 3001, ORG: Wells Fargo).

After looking over the migration PDF, I think that you need to switch to these settings:
http://www.ofxhome.com/index.php/institution/view/749

If you're using a recent version of GnuCash and AQBanking, you should be able to select "Wells Fargo Bank (749)" from the "Select a Bank" dialog (click on "select" next to the bank name field in the Create User dialog box) to get these settings without having to input the settings yourself.

Other than that detail, I suggest you carefully follow the Quicken instructions for reconciling via Checkfree (www.oasis.cfree.com<http://www.oasis.cfree.com>) before changing your online settings.
