Also besides my comment about OFX being inaccurate I wanted to say I think what you've done is really great. OFX is a beast no doubt. I'd add account discover next, that was one pain point with working with OFX is the account numbers the ofx used were different or expected to be formatted in some specific way. Luckily OFX has account discovery built in.

Once I find some time, I was going to let people register for their key, then add a routing number search, but your idea is great for the next todo. For some institutions it's easy (etc. CC#) but for others I had to push my way through the account not found messages so this would definitely help with that.

Thanks!
