But all of those accounts should be periodically reconciled unless you never post anything except by importing it. Regardless, that's a perfectly fine use-case, but I don't think that it's a common one or even that GnuCash is the best solution for it. Regards, John Ralls > On Jul 4, 2020, at

It's supposed to set up the accounts, but doesn't always. Another user reported the same problem yesterday on IRC. She created the accounts by hand and was able to retrieve transactions. AQBanking 6.1.4 does work with OFX and AFAIK there are no changes to aqofxconnect between 6.1.4 and 6.2.1.

You're confusing reconciliation with processing paper statements. Regardless of how you get the information from the bank the fact remains that there are two sets of books--yours in GnuCash and the bank's--and they need to be reconciled periodically to ensure that they agree. One could, of
