QFX file import fail because Payee split.

Here is a piece of a QFX file I download from Chase
<NAME>Online Payment 15#######42 To VA
<MEMO>LLEY NATIONAL BANK

As you can see in the NAME and MEMO fields Chase adds junk in front of the payee name. This causes the actual payee to be truncated and completed in the MEMO field. This makes it impossible for Quicken to recognize and categorize it properly.

Is there any way the get quicken to combine the two fields and then rename & categorize it?

RANT: Why on earth Chase does this is beyond me. I've been complaining about this for over a decade with Chase. All they have to do is put "Online Payment 15#######42" in the MEMO field and leave the payee alone! WTF Chase?!

The Renaming Rules in Quicken combine the Payee and Memo fields when looking for a Payee that you want renamed.

Once you have renamed the Payee, you can have Quicken match it to a Memorized Payee which has the correct Category.

The renaming rules always start with "If Quicken name is", but you can edit it and change it from "if payee contains".
