Topic: Capital One

GNU Cash's website also lists https://onlinebanking.capitalone.com/ofx/process.ofx as a valid URL -- at least with my credit card, it returns a bad username rather than a 404.

Re: Capital One

That is actually the correct URL. It worked fine for me.

Re: Capital One

Which is correct?  The one listed in the previous post?

Re: Capital One

Yes, this one: https://onlinebanking.capitalone.com/ofx/process.ofx.

Re: Capital One

I get the invalid user name with the "https://onlinebanking.capitalone.com/ofx/process.ofx" URL also.

Re: Capital One

Okay, so https://onlinebanking.capitalone.com/ofx/process.ofx does appear to be the active URL: I've verified that it is responding to OFX requests correctly.  However, there may be an issue with their login mechanism: whenever I send a signon request, I get an Error Code 15500 along with the message, "The user cannot signon because he or she entered an invalid user ID or password."  I'm still able to login using the same information via their website, and I've had no trouble connecting to Discover, Chase, ING Direct, or American Express, so I believe the fault may lie with CapitalOne's ofx server.

Re: Capital One

Actually scratch that: the reason me and greyson couldn't connect is that this is the OFX url for Capital One's BANKING customers, not its credit-card customers.  I believe it also works for customers who have both a bank and a credit card account with Capital One.  Card-only customers like me are SOL for the moment --- I think I read somewhere that indeed there is no OFX support for us, at the moment.  Mint.com and others must use web-scraping (which was actually pretty straightforward with CapitalOne, at least as of a few months ago when I last tried it).

Do you think it would start working if we opened a bank account. Then we would no longer be card-only customers, right?

Re: Capital One

Has anyone ever resolved this issue of whether a CC-only account holder can retrieve data with the listed URL?

I gave up on direct connection and started downloading my data from Mint. It's a two step process, because the data needs to be translated to work with GnuCash, but in the end it was easier to let Mint deal with the connections than try to keep them all in GnuCash.
