I saw the notice, but thought it only referred to one step updates performed by quicken automatically. But it now does not allow importing these files when downloaded from each institution's website. Basically, it makes the software useless and forces you to buy the newer version. This is terrible and I am wondering if I should move to another software, may be a freeware if something is available. Any suggestions? I am having the same problem.

My financial institution just revamped their website and stop offering the option to export as a QFX file (now it's only csv and ofx). As I was researching how to convert from ofx to qfx, I came upon the ugly fact that Intuit was stickin' it to financial institutions. I had know idea they had to pay Intuit a fee. Many thanks for providing these instructions!!! Thank you sir!!!!

Please try again later." -- Change the value for to "000000000" (that's 9 zeros) in the ofx file, to be saved as qfx ( is found about 10 lines down from where you inserted the bank code.) After making this change, the Quicken import web connect file process immediately opened a window allowing linkage to the correct existing account.
