Hi all,
I have a question to the GNUcash developers, especially
those of you which know something about the German T-Online
homebanking system BTX.
I Germany we have a very popular online homebanking system,
based on the T-Online BTX (Datex-J) system. All of the
commercial homebanking software packages like MS-Money or
Quicken work with that online system. With that system,
you can retrieve account data from your bank, and also
send your transfers.
I am using since more than 2 years a GPL software written
by a former colleague of mine, Niek Busscher, to work with
the T-Online homebanking system. That software package with
the name ZKA4BTX is very unknown, since Niek published it only
by email.
Some words to the features of ZKA4BTX :
- Completely written in Tcl
- Uses Xcept as a BTX browser
- Retrieve account data from multiple banks
- Send transfers, using TAN
- Export retrieved account data to CBB, Xfinans and QIF files
With a simple click to an icon on my desktop, ZKA4BTX logs into
T-Online, gets all my account datas from several banks, and writes
(adds) it to my CBB, Xfinans or GNUcash (QIF) files.
Another very important thing is that I can do all my tranfers
offline, editing a transfer sheet, and ZKA4BTX sends these
transfers in one step to my bank.
ZKA4BTX is very stable. I had no problems since several years
doing all my homebanking with that software.
Niek did a lot of work during the development of that program.
The most important problem was for him, to get all the informations
from several banks, how to handle the ZKA data stream.
The problem ist, that since Niek lives now in the Netherlands, he is
no longer able to develop or to support his program. Therefore I
would ask the GNUcash developers, if you are interested to integrate
ZKA4BTX into GNUcash ? Niek gave me the permission to ask you.
For me it would be a very nice thing to have a button in GNUcash
to retrieve my newest bank account data from T-Online. Another good
enhancement would be to have a GUI for editing the transfer (which
you have to to with a normal editor up to now).
Please let me know what you think about that.
Reinhold
