That begs the question. What is your bank?

It doesn't beg the question at all. It's an expression of my view that
working with Quicken is the single most important aspect of choosing a bank.
It's also my recommendation to the original poster that he change banks.

Although there's no reason why it should be a secret, it's completely
irrelvant to the point I was making. There are many banks that work with
Quicken.

Exactly.

Quality financial institutions are a dime-a-dozen; there are
only two personal-financial software programs worth discussion.

Is this a trick question? I mean you just got through saying that your
bank doesn't work with Quicken. Then you ask what's the odds that your
bank will support Quicken?!? My guess would be - the odds are currently
0! ;-)

Personally I'd seriously consider getting a new bank.

I doubt seriously that you will be significantly enlightened on
this question ... because there are too many subjective
observations/decisions involved in your quest.

But I can tell you that my personal experience is that fi's do
listen to their customers when it comes to providing Quicken
downloads. It is definitely a MUCH bigger question than meets
the eye: the fi has to consider specific factors, the details of
which, their customers will never be able to know.

I deal with several fi's that have changed from not offering
Quicken downloads, to offering them during the time I have used
Quicken. I know that I made it clear to those fi's that I very
much wanted Quicken downloads ... and that Direct download was
the preferred method. Each of those fi's responded to me that
they were definitely considering my request.

I am one person; as such I get only one vote. So I am not even
suggesting that my vote alone changed any tide. But I know that
my vote was considered. So will yours.
