that offer direct connect services using the OFX protocol.</p>
<p>This is the protocol that Moneydance (and other financial
software) requires in order to talk directly to a bank and to
facilitate application based banking, this is an open source
protocol.</p>
<p>Without this support, the facility that most banks provide to
get your transactions into applications like Moneydance, is to use
a web browser to download transaction files from the bank's web
site. You can download QFX, QIF, OFX or OFC files (sometimes
referred to as Quicken or MS Money files), any of which will import
cleanly into Moneydance, You can also open your bank's webpage
directly from Moneydance (after entering the appropriate address in
the Account->Edit Account menu) by going to the menu bar and
selecting Online->Open Account Website.</p>

<p>Des is correct. In order for Moneydance to directly connect to
the bank server the bank needs to support the Direct OFX connection
protocol. As far as I know none of the UK banks support this
protocol.</p>
