Unfortunately USAA has disabled OFX and QFX. I hope this doesn't become a trend. I can't believe getting programmatic access to finances can be so difficult in this day and age.
- neilv 3y agoHas anyone asked them to put it back? It might be easier for them to revert sooner rather than later.
- aeonik 3y agoYes people have asked. One they removed access they rolled out a Quicken partnership, so I assume this is some decision made by management as part of a business deal. But I'm only speculating based on the timing.
- gosub100 3y agoI bet its a new plan for revenue extraction. quietly remove the feature, then upsell a "premium package" that includes exporting your own data in that format.
- pylua 3y agoYou can’t talk to their ofx server or can’t export qfx and ofx files ? The latter would be terrible. The former seems to be more and more common.
- mikrl 3y agoOh that might be what affected me in Canada. I was using Mint connected to my RBC account and loved it, but it stopped working forever about 2 years ago. Now I just do it all on spreadsheets which isn’t as bad as I thought, but Mint was still nice and actually pinged me when I overspent in a category. Now I have to remember (taking away cycles) that I can only spend $X, Y times a month for lunch, beers etc.
