I could be wrong but I think the Chase numbers are for customers who 
actually have a bank account or credit card with Chase Bank.  Chase has 
a lot of affiliate credit cards that say Chase on them, and you go to 
Chase.com/creditcards/ to manage your card online, but they are not the 
same.  I tried to get a couple Chase cards working a while back.  I 
noticed that my Quicken OFX transactions were using Quickens proprietary 
"send your stuff to Intuit instead of the real institution" method. I 
don't know if there is an actual OFX server for the Chase cards or not 
but I did try all the ones I found on the various OFX server information 
sites.
