And it is definitely Intuit that is rearranging and obfuscating the text.  I downloaded the bank information directly in all the available file formats, and the information is presented exactly as the website window and the statements show it.  The downloaded text is truncated in some instances, but it is not obfuscated.

It is possible that the banks are delivering obfuscated information to Intuit, but not to their customers, but that, if true, raises a bunch more questions, like "Why?".  Did Intuit fail a security audit?  It would suck to go back to manually downloading and uploading csv files like we had to do for QB Desktop lo so many moons ago, but if Intuit is going to make reconciliation (my most common and time-consuming task) more difficult, then that's what I will have to do, until I can switch all my clients back to a local solution.

The present situation is unacceptable.  If this is a legal liability issue, they need to fire their lawyers and get a new legal team, because this one will destroy Intuit.
