Online banking setup

[brad]

Is this going to be the case for all banks/credit cards?   If quicken is
the only option for direct connect aren't there some monopoly issues
with that?

I was suspecting that about chase, I can't get to my Chase CC anymore.
I don't use the GC/Aqbanking feature (I could never get it to work), & I
don't use 'online banking', but I do like to import OFX data from my CC
and 401k.  I use ofx.py and import the OFX.  If I have to go thru all
the web browser steps that's going to be a big pain.  Anyone know of a
good webscraper that would be good for this?
