Example: BofA checkcard transactions come in as

CHECKCARD 1105 (payees name)

Should have the ability to rename payees in bulk which allows options to remove(or add) a set amount of characters or spacing at head/end making it easy to remove extra information from downloads.

It would be great to bulk rename by replacing the first "14 characters at head" with (then left blank.

    If the downloaded Payee has the name in it as shown in your example, you can fix it when they are downloaded using Renaming Rules (Tools menu).
    I have lots of them like "if payee contains "ABC", rename it to "American Beverage Co"".
    If you have lots that are the same, sort by Payee to get them in a sequence in the register, select the range of transactions, then right-click and select Edit, after that it is straight forward following what is on the screen.
