[GNC] US Federal Credit Union as Bank Account

[David Carlson]

John,

First please reply to the list or reply all.  I personally cannot help you.

Second, as David T hinted, there are two ways that Quicken does downloads
from financial institutions.  One is the direct download method that is
proprietary through Intuit but is sometimes called QFX.  That method can
sometimes be emulated by a program that you can set up adjacent to
GnuCash.  There is currently another thread here discussing an issue that
has arisen with that program (Finance Quote) and a different institution
called USAA.  That method is somewhat tricky and often does not work.  When
you stated that GnuCash will not accept your institution, David T thought
that you were trying to use that method.

Thirdly is the method that many GnuCash users including myself employ with
other protocols  such as CSV, QIF or OFX/QFX downloaded directly from the
financial institution's customer web page, saved locally then imported into
GnuCash.  For financial institutions that offer the OFX/QFX download
protocol or other protocols GnuCash normally gets very good results but it
is not automated and requires several manual steps.

To get the best help please mention your operating system, the version of
GnuCash that you are using as well as what you are trying to accomplish and
what detailed steps are not working.
