It's spreading. Bank of America and Merrill Lynch are on the
bandwagon. BOA does give a message to call Customer Support and report
a particular error number - but customer support has absolutely no
clue. I finally got someone at ML to tell me that customers should
have been informed of the change by Intuit - which is kind of silly if
you're not using Quicken. Are there any US banks and investment
brokers which still support OFX direct connect, and are not likely to
follow the herd?

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
the US).
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:
