Default Re: Preferred Payee Name Wildcards

B of A is a pain syncing via MSN Money. When you change the Standardized Payee
Names settings as mentioned, you'll find that Money only brings over a limited
amount of characters from the MSN Money description field. Many B of A
transactions will come over as blank, as the ignored numbers preceding the text
exceed the maximum number of characters. It's a 'catch22' configuration
setting.

With B of A, the OFX file download from their site is much better than MSN
Money sync, transaction matching works very well with their file.

Tools-> Options/Settings-> OnlineServices-> ShowStandardizedPayeeNames
[M07]Tools-> Settings-> OnlineServiceSettings-> ShowStandardizedPayeeNames
will cause you to match an existing payee that differ only by a
numbers or punctuation. Click MoreDetails to the right of the
setting for more information.

Default Preferred Payee Name Wildcards

Bank of America adds a transaction's date to the payee field. For
instance, a transaction from Donland's on August 8, 2006 will be
downloaded as "0808 DONLANDS", while a Donland's August 10, 2006
transaction will be downloaded as "0810 DONLANDS". Is there a way to
configure Preferred Payee Names with wildcards so that the date
portion of the download is ignored and only "Donland's" is entered
into the register?
