For Halifax you need to sign up to paperless statements and you get a downloadable one each month. You can't download the data whenever you want.

Thanks for that "mr_fishbulb" - I have changed to paperless :j

I've also emailed their customer services department asking that in future they consider adding the facility for OFS downloads on demand .... but I won't hold my breath !

I noticed that too with Halifax. Bit of a nuisance. I decided to keep paper version and manually input into Microsoft Money since paper statements are sometimes needed for applications or other for proof of ID. Unless anyone can confirm that printouts are just as good for ID?

I didn't know about OFX, only quif so thanks for the info in post 5.

I tend to use my passport and Council Tax bill for ID purposes. You're right that some people won't accept an internet statement - but some of them now look very similar to the real thing (e.g. Birmingham Midshires).

I really can't understand why so many Banks don't support the file export formats for Microsoft Money. It should be straight-forward to build the interface and it would make customers like me more likely to manage our money with them. Anything to avoid manual typing
