    Here's the comparison of QM2015 to QEM to QM2007 to Q Win Premier: http://www.quicken.com/mac/compare


    The Canadian 2015 versions haven't, to the best of my knowledge, been released yet.

    There is not much unique to Canada other than a few tax categories that are set up in advance. Any categories that may not be set up for you (if you are starting from scratch) you can add manually.


    The Current version does support linking to Canadian banks so you are covered for that too.

    To clarify, that should be "linking to SOME Canadian banks".  Far fewer than Q Canada links to.

    Good to know....is there a list somewhere to check what the current supported list of Canadian banks is? And does the list differ for Web Connect vs Direct Connect (I understand that support for Direct Connect by Canadian banks is new for Quicken for Mac)?

    Here's the list of ALL banks.  Don't know of one for just the Canadian banks supported by Q US ... but, in general, they'd be Canadian banks with affiliates in the US.  https://fi.intuit.com/fisearchbasic/personal/quicken/search.cfm?type=basic&qwid=qw2200&qmid=qm1600&qbid=qb2300&qbmid=qbm2200&qflmid=qm1900

    What you posted is one extremely long webpage ... with everything listed on it.  My link is "indexed" by the 1st letter of the FI name ... so that you can jump to the general area of what you want ... instead of slogging thru every FI at once.
    If the searchers FI name starts at the middle or end of the alphabet, it takes forever to get to it thru the non-indexed
    list.

    @delias, Quicken 2015 for Mac is pretty significantly different from Quicken for Windows. The latter has been developed over the past 30 years, while the Mac version is just out in its first real version after two years of development. The developers started from scratch with Quicken for Mac, so it doesn't mirror the look or operation of Quicken for Windows. And there are many features in Quicken for Windows not yet present in Quicken for Mac, although the developers say they will be issuing free updates through the next 10 months to add to the functionality of the program. I don't want to scare you off from Quicken 2015, but to answer your question, I want you to be aware that moving from the Windows version to the Mac version is not an equivalent sideways move. Many Windows users have made the switch and found Quicken for Mac meets their needs, but you should go into it knowing what you're getting first.


    You might find this post I wrote a few weeks ago useful in understanding some of the current limitations of Quicken for Mac. It was in response to someone asking for a comparison to the legacy Mac version, Quicken 2007, which is much more like the current Windows version: https://qlc.intuit.com/replies/2239618
