It should be easy enough to determine, look in the QFX file for what currency is in it.capncodfish said:Same. But who's at fault? I don't know This could very well be Scotiabank's fault by not correctly setting the currency in the data. Reach out to Scotiabank. I'll be doing the same tomorrow.
This update does not fix the problem. I have this update and problem still occurs.Simon Beck said:In the near future, will there be an update to Quicken Home & Business (Quicken for Windows, Version: R33.7, Build: 27.1.33.7, Edition: Canada) that will fix this issue?
Quicken Inc is stuck with Intuit, which yes from what I see stinks, especially for supporting Canadian financial institutions.MoMoney99 said:The support for Canadian financial institutions in Quicken is abysmal. How is it that the company who led the field in this area is falling behind its competitors. I can name a half dozen other providers who support nearly every Canadian financial institution without issue. Some apps even allow you to pick which aggregator you want to use to connect to your bank/F.I.
Come on Quicken - please fix this!!
There are three ways that Quicken imports transactions. Direct Connect (which I don't believe any Canadian financial institution supports), Express Web Connect, and Web Connect.dp88514 said:I saw one comment about using the old web connect command. I only see one way to connect, EWC or manual. Can someone explain how to connect in another way to Scotia?
If manual, what have others done to migrate the transactions to another CAD account without inheriting the USD values?
The name of the QFX file shouldn't matter, only what is inside it.Hilary Johnston said:@dp88514 , having just chosen the Quicken format and downloaded a file from my Scotiabank account, I was interested to see the file was named "pcbanking.qfx". I'm a newbie here, but the first thing I thought of was Loblaws PC Financial, at one time marketed, if memory serves, as PCBanking...
Am I way off target here, or is it possible this is connected to an error at Scotiabank?
The currency of an account can be changed by using the error to correct itself. I have done it. You must be technically savvy and use a hack that was documented in another post. When I find it, I will post the link.Chris_QPW said:There are three ways that Quicken imports transactions.

Web Connect is "manual" as in downloading a Web Connect .QFX file and importing it into Quicken.
Express Web Connect is going through aggregator Intuit to try to log on to the financial institution's website as you and retrieve the transactions with "agreed upon method", and import that into Quicken.
From what I know it is the Express Web Connect method that is broken/causing the currency of the account to change to USD.
Web Connect is supposedly working fine. The importing of a QFX file can be done in one of two ways.
Opening the file in your web browser of Windows File Explorer should trigger Quicken to import it. Or you can use File -> File Import -> Web Connect (.QFX) File..., browse and open the file, and it should import.
There isn't any way to change the currency of an account once it is created. So, the workaround would be to create a new offline account and then import the .QFX file with the transactions linking it to that new account. If needed you might be able to move transactions from the other account, but I'm not sure about that because of the differences in currency. Here is the procedure.

Your correct I should have said that it shouldn't be possible to change the currency of the account once it is created, but clearly with this bug it is possible. But note I was talking about there isn't any way in Quicken to change the currency of the account once created.Joel_onca said:The currency of an account can be changed by using the error to correct itself.

Even though do agree that Quicken Inc doesn't value their Canadian customers as much as their US ones (and shows it), you can't judge by the number of releases.Joel_onca said:@Chris_QPW If Quicken rejected the file, I am sure that there will be sufficient pressure for either Quicken, Scotiabank, or both to fix the bug. As you said, it has been going on for years. It seems that Quicken doesn't care about its Canadian customers since it separated from Intuit. There has been far less updates in Canada than in the US.
