[GNC] Comenity Bank OFX Exports

[Greg Feneis]

IIRC, there is a setting in GnuCash that allows the user to compensate for
when the FI does this. The setting is likely not in preferences, since it's
going to need to be per account. Maybe see if the account has some setting
that will help?

Kind regards, Greg Feneis
