The online banking features of gnucash are available both on windows and all unix, using the aqbanking library for actual connectivity. However, I think we need some more testing feedback, especially for the windows port of gnucash+aqbanking, because although aqbanking compiles nicely on windows, it still might contain some bugs which need to be ironed out.
Therefore I'd like the other win32 testers (and whoever is up to this as well, regardless of your IS) to also test the AqBanking online banking features. The main online banking technique of aqbanking is HBCI, which is only available in Germany. For HBCI we are in the happy situation to use a test account at a test bank server for HBCI. This test account is being provided by the developers of the Java online banking software "hbci4java". Thanks a lot, Stefan Palme. (For the other interesting online banking technique, OFX DirectConnect, I don't know of any test account anywhere, so it is unavailable for testing purposes, I'm afraid.) For this HBCI test account, I've summarized the aqbanking setup instructions here: http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/AqBanking The instructions are given for the command-line tools because these are available on Windows by default. For the graphical setup wizard, the explanation is in the wizard itself. It should be straightforward for you to read the required server address from the wiki page as well. The test account provides three accounts using the security technique PIN/TAN of HBCI. HBCI itself provides other (more secure) security techniques as well, but this one is especially convenient for testing purposes. Once you've set up the test online banking accounts, you can try out the basic online banking functionality of HBCI as described here http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/AqBanking#Using_the_test_account All of these instructions *should* work on all Unixes. On Windows, I have seen these work at least once on a win2000 machine last week; when I tried later, not all of the three online actions actually worked. So YMMV on windows, but I'd appreciate any feedback that someone can provide here.
