[GNC] Chase OFXdirect connect - another one bites the dust

[Kalpesh Patel]

I wonder if OFX will die by thousand cuts. Slowly but surely large financial orgs are restricting direct retrieval of OFX formatted data or outright abandoning it.  

Web browser is a tool to just do that ... albeit not an efficient one for that specific purpose 😊.

I was utilizing very old tool called PocketSense to do that but the population where it can be effective in downloading OFX is dwindling.

I have the same issue.  I had some success searching out the new
settings for Bank of the West, but if ofx direct connect is going
away, maybe a different strategy is needed.  I was thinking maybe a
tool to extract ofx/qfx downloads from the various bank websites? I
haven't found an existing one.
