Are the missing transactions always at or near the beginning of the 
download time period? How do you specify the start date of transactions 
to be included in the data stream? If the bank switched from showing you 
the transaction date instead of the posting date, you might have to ask 
for a few more days at the start of the download period to make sure you 
get transactions that occurred before your last download, but posted 
after that.

Also a possibility is that the bank uses a different date in data 
downloads than it does for web display (again likely to be the 
difference between transaction and posting dates).

One of my banks always sends 30 days of transactions, no matter what I 
asked for. Others send only transactions on the dates I ask for, but the 
"current date" will miss transactions that clear that same day, but 
after I do the download. The next download misses them because I ask to 
start the day after my last download.
