Lobby your FI to fix it. Suggest they read 3.2.8.4 Time Zone Issues in the OFX specs. 2 Change FI. 3. Change the timezone on your computer before downloading and restore it after reading the transactions. |

| For some of my accounts, when I download transactions, the dates in Money are one day earlier than the dates from my financial institution. Is there any way to correct this? I looked into it a bit and think I have discovered the cause, but I have no idea how to fix it. I found one of the temporary internet files used to download transactions for one of the accounts and opened it up in notepad. Inside it, the dates for the transaction look as if they were formed as <date> <time zone> -- no actual "time" appeared. The date portion matches what the financial institution says. It looks as if Money is assuming a "time" of midnight (since no time was actually given) and is then converting from the time zone of the transaction (e.g., East Coast) to my time zone (West Coast), thus coming up with a date one day earlier (Midnight, 10/1/2003 on the East Coast is 9 PM, 9/30/2003 on the West Coast). |
