I put together this little narrative for my own purposes, so I wouldn't forget. No QB experts contributed to this, only fellow users.
How To Convert .qfx Files To .qbo Files For Bank Feed Import Into Quickbooks Web Connect
1. Open the .qfx file in Notepad
2. Find the line <INTU.BID>xxxx where “xxxx” is a number; this line will be somewhat close to the top
3. Replace that “xxxx” number with “11162” (for Bank of America accounts, for example)
4. Save the file with a new filename ending with .qbo
5. Import that newly-named file into QB using the Bank Feed process
It’s really that simple.
Other Bank of America QB Web Connect numbers that might work if 11162 doesn’t work for some reason include 5358 and 6526 (or 05358 and 06526).
You can find other banks’ replacement numbers at https://ofx-prod-filist.intuit.com/qb2900/data/fidir.txt .
For example, the Chase Web Download number is 2430 (or 02430).
