Apple Card and Quicken

I didn't see a topic or community set up for Apple Card yet so I'm starting this thread on Apple Pay, somewhat related, just to get the discussion rolling.


I recently accepted the Apple Card invitation and contacted Help/Goldman Sachs to see if they support Direct Connect functionality in Intuit’s Quicken for Mac financial management software (as provided for other "conventional" Goldman Sachs card holders). I was told this Quicken service is not available for Apple Card and, furthermore, there are no provisions for Apple Card customers to login to the Goldman Site and download Apple Card transactions manually, once hard credentials are provided like account number, etc.


Without some kind of financial integration or management functionality, Apple has created yet another "Financial Silo of Excellence” that does not integrate well with existing financial management solutions. 


I realize there are security concerns but believe this is very short-sighted and should not have been overlooked during the development phase of the Apple Card. I'm hoping more information and financial management functionality is forthcoming.

A kind user mentioned that there are some interest in the tool ac2ofx and Quicken windows users are not able to import the generated OFX file.


I will make a quick fix by end of day to generate the output as both ofx and qfx files and will make the distribution available at https://bitbucket.org/hleofxquotesteam/dist-applecardstmt/downloads/


For future issue, I can be reached at ac2ofx at gmail dot com OR you can log an issue at https://bitbucket.org/hleofxquotesteam/dist-applecardstmt/issues

Doubt it was overlooked, agree with all the comments. Would add that it is sad there is no MacOS wallet app.


Here is a workaround that I have used with the latest Quicken for MAC. Caveat is that I have only done this for the first statement, haven't tried to add transactions to the new Apple Card account created in Quicken


Save the statement PDF (from the iPhone) and convert to QFX with pdf2qfx app. OK to ignore the Quicken FID, just use the CC number in the account number. Need to adjust the fields and invert the sign in the preview window, but works pretty well once. I bring the daily cash percentage and amount as memos.

No quicken = limited use of card - as simple as that - I can't let a significant amount of my spending go uncategorized and be unaware of my CC balances.

Pull your socks up Apple - this is not how to make this successful.

It’s already successful. Millions have been issued. Everything you claim is untrue. You have easy access to your Card balance anytime you desire. Just open the Wallet app and look. You can print your monthly statement directly from your iPhone. You can pay your Card balance directly from your iPhone too. Want transactions categorized? Create a manual account in Quicken. That’s exactly what I have done. That’s how the card was designed and that’s how it was advertised. It’s on you that you didn’t understand how it would work. And so far it’s only a few that are carping about it not being a “traditional” credit card with a Goldman Sachs website you can log into and Quicken download capabilities. It’s all done from your iPhone and that’s the way it was designed. Don’t like it? Fine, don’t get it, but don’t claim it’s a failure becasue of your desires. It’s patently not a failure.

There is no way to export to Quicken from our phones from the Apple Card app. There is no website for reviewing our transactions and downloading. You can download from the app your latest statement as a pdf. Then you have to manually enter the transactions into Quicken or other financial software. Called and was told they do not support this at this time.

Okay, here's an update on the .CSV, OFX import failure's from Quicken's support community. It appears that part of the OFX format includes the name of the institution from which the OFX file was created. If that institution is not a participating member of Quicken's network the import will be denied with the error message to contact your financial institution.


There is a terse response from Quicken support simply stating that Goldman Sachs is not currently registered and therefore Quicken cannot import an OFX file from it. There are also posts from users who found an online service that converts formats for many banks BUT you must select a bank known to Quicken for it to work with the Apple Card. Not exactly kosher in my opinion.


So it looks like Goldman Sachs will have to get registered with Quicken and/or Intuit for the OFX import to work.

> We'll probably NEVER see any online, on-demand updates from GS using Quicken Connect but this is a start.


Look like an enteprising developer is trying to fill this gap. I am currently testing a beta version of an app that could convert transactions in the Wallet "Latest Transactions" list into a QFX file. This way, one can export transactions as soon they are showing up in the "Latest Transactions" list instead of having to wait until the end of month.
