Import Apple Card transactions

Dec 02, 2020 Last reply: 5 years ago 3 Replies

The "Apple Card" is a special sort of credit card. Apple has provided a method for importing card transactions into Quicken. From the iPhone Wallet app, a monthly statement can be exported in .qfx format. The exported file can be transported to a Windows computer by instant message or email. From there, the file can be imported from Quicken's File|Import menu.



Unfortunately, that last step fails with "Quicken is unable to complete your request.[OL-221-A]". At the bottom of the error dialog is a further expression "[OL-221-B]".



A quick Google search yielded lots of similar complaints, but no solutions. Any suggestions?


Have you rummaged thru the Quicken Help->Log Files? Among others there's a .QFX File Import Results log. Clues might be somewhere in the logs. Geo.

In early September 2020 the original OL-220 problem was reported "fixed" by Quicken. I think the chances are that you don't have the original problem.

Here's the Quicken KB article on the OL-22n errors:

And here is an overly long Quicken Community discussion on the specific subject of the Apple Card OL-220 problem.

After the fix for the original problem was reported, users began adding other Apple Card problems to the above discussion (problems which had nothing to do with the original issue) - especially the problem that an invalid transaction type (installment) was being sent. If your download contains any "installment" transactions (see your Quicken OFX Log file), the problem is at the sender's end and can't be addressed by Quicken (there appears to be a hack in the above discussion allowing a user to work around the problem, though it's more work than I would be willing to do on a regular basis).

And here is the Quicken discussion reporting the original problem fixed.

There was a similar problem that occurred back in the July timeframe that was addressed in September. Since that time, I haven't had a problem. I suggest that you take a look at the qfx file with a text reader such as notepad and make sure that the transferred file is indeed in qfx format (some email programs can munge attachments without users being aware of it).
