GnuCash 2.4.13 Capital One DirectConnect Fix
Apparently Capital One made some changes to their banking servers in Dec 2012, causing automatic transaction downloading to break in GnuCash. Here is a fix that should allow you to properly connect & download account info from Capital One:
- Follow the instructions for Setting up OFXDirectConnect in GnuCash 2.
- Under User Settings, enter your User Name, then enter the string 6c88247e-ab53-46f4-b9c0-ecaee283570f as the Client UID (via this link)
- Under Bank Settings, grab the Capitol One bank info by clicking the Select button and searching.
- In Application Settings, make sure the Header Version is set to 103 (via this link)
- Hit OK to save. Now, you should be able to return to the Bank Settings tab to Retrieve Accounts!
If your Client UID and/or Header Version (aka OFX Version) are set incorrectly, you may receive an error like this:
