Hi, I don't believe the OFX importer will use any account IDs to match against account GUIDs at all. There was no expectation that the importer would be used this way when it was written, so AFAIK, unless you added code to implement it, the importer does what it always does which is match based on user input/assignment. Once the user assigns the account then it will remember that based on information in the OFX.
