Thanks Dawid,

I made the mistake of thinking the word Open meant Open.

At least they still provide an qfx file from the website. I suspect that may not last long.

    My Chase credit card no longer works with Direct Connect (ofx in

    I found the following link that explained why it stopped working
    this week:

Well, that sucks, but it's been happening for other banks since a while, so we kind of had it coming...

    Is KMM going to support Open Banking?

No. None of the apps, be it open or closed sourced, actually *support* Open Banking. Any such app uses 3rd party interfaces, which are authorized by the banks themselves to use their Open Banking APIs. Per https://www.banktivity.com/support/articles/banktivity-for-mac/what-is-open-banking/: "Yodlee in the US and Saltedge in the UK/EU, will download transactions from your bank using an API (application programming interface)."

Applications themselves cannot be authorized — explicit business entities can, only, which are issued signing certificates. Hence Yodlee and Saltedge. The problem with those is that information about your transactions is passed through those 3rd parties, so forget about your privacy.

This was previously discussed, with hypothetical solutions, see: https://invent.kde.org/office/kmymoney/-/issues/21
