I've tried this too and get invalid user/password errors. Howdy Doody, could you share your aqbanking setup for your chase account?

The Chase web site indicates you have to pay $9.95/month for access to DirectConnect downloads from a business account unless you have their most expensive business checking, or a private banking relationship with Chase.

They do say that you can access both personal and business data from one online account, but it appears they really do guard their fees for checking accounts. I believe there is a monthly charge for personal checking data via DirectConnect, too. But I have never had a checking account at Chase.
