Quicken Web Connect import problem

Nov 30, 2015 5 Replies

I have an account "Amazon Store Card" that is sourced from Synchrony Bank. This bank's web page used to offer .qif export, but no longer. Now all they have is



  • Quicken Web Connect
  • Quicken Books (sic)
  • Microsoft Money
  • CVS/Excel

The first two formats are identical, and the last two are not relevant to Quicken.



The "Quicken Web Connect" file is what I am trying to work with. Its name is Transaction.qfx and it starts like this:



OFXHEADER:100 DATA:OFXSGML VERSION:102 SECURITY:NONE ENCODING:USASCII CHARSET:1252 COMPRESSION:NONE OLDFILEUID:NONE NEWFILEUID:NONE



0 INFO 20151129065145.530[-8:PST] ENG SYNCB 4537 4537

The only format in Quicken that seems to be relevant is "Web Connect File". When I attempt to import, Quicken says



Quicken is unable to complete your request. [(l-221-A] [OL-221-B]



Where can I find an example of an acceptable .qfx file. Maybe I can text-process what Synchrony Bank gives me into something that Quicken will accept.

Why not doenload then via One Step Update?

Synchrony Bank does not allow this.
