Bank of America web connectivity for outside US

Quicken Windows Canada does allow importing Canadian QFX files in currencies other than CAD (Quicken Windows US doesn’t it will only import USD).

But one thing that should be true of both is that they both have their own separate list of financial institutions they support (Quicken Mac actually supports both countries and has only one such list).

So, first clarify which version of Quicken you are using.

It seems to me if you have been importing US BofA QFX files you should be using Quick Windows US and if that is the case you should be able to switch to Express Web Connect + (Quicken Windows Canada doesn’t have any financial institutions that support Express Web Connect +).

I find it interesting that you were able to do it at all in the past. In theory it shouldn't have allowed it.

The US version should be using this list:

And the Canadian version should be using this list:

There are some financial institutions that overlap both lists, but BofA isn't one of them.

I'm wondering if Quicken Windows Canadian is actually looking at both lists.

At any rate there are a couple of ways to get around this. One is for as long as BofA keeps the QFX file export on their website you can just edit the INTU.BID to change it to another financial institution that still supports Web Connect/QFX files for the account type you have. The non-investment account types are BANKING and CREDIT. The number you are looking for is the first one on the line. For investment accounts which would be Merrill Lynch it would be INVESTMENT for brokerage accounts and 401K for retirement accounts.

My free program ImportQIF can do this edit for you, and if BofA stops putting out the QFX file you can also use it to convert from Excel/CSV files to either QIF or QFX.
