I spent a long time trying to get GnuCash to connect to PSECU
(Pennsylvania State Employees Credit Union) and thought I'd share
details in case anyone else is having trouble. I had very little to go
on, since I had been using Quicken 2011 which is no longer able to
connect online, and the only references I could find were for the old
PSECU connection that went offline in 2014.
I read:
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/OFX_Direct_Connect_Bank_Settings
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Setting_up_OFXDirectConnect_in_GnuCash_2
http://www.ofxhome.com/
It was after I downloaded and tested MoneyDance that I knew it was
possible, but I couldn't find any trace of the connection details in a
file. I eventually found the Quicken and MoneyDance logs and aqbanking
logs by using `AQOFX_LOG_COMM=1 gnucash` and the combination of those
got me to a working answer.
Of course, when I tried to search the mailing list archives to see if
this answer had already been posted, the page suggested I use Google
which led me to a MoneyDance file that had the answer I had pieced together.
So, the important parts:
User Name: whatever you want to name it
User ID: membernumber
Client UID: required, but I don't know if the value is important
Bank Name: PSECU-new
FID: 231381116
ORG: PENNSTATEEMPLOYEES
Server URL: https://directconnect.psecu.com/ofxserver/ofxsrvr.dll
Application ID: QWIN
Application Version: 2300
Header Version: 103
http://moneydance.com/synch/moneydance/fi2004.dict has a lot of banks
listed. It's referenced on
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Talk:Setting_up_OFXDirectConnect_in_GnuCash_2
which I had not read before.
Hopefully this will help someone else. I'm still learning some of the
nuances in GnuCash and trying to break 20 year old Quicken habits. I
last tried GnuCash in 2004, I think; I'm likely to keep it for good this
time.
