The Nationwide OFX Downloader is a command line Java program I made to connect and download statements from the UK building society Nationwide in OFX format which can then be used by other applications such as Wesabe, Quicken, MS Money. I’ve released the source code as a Google Code project; I won’t release a compiled application as I don’t think people should trust me with their bank details.
If you would like to try the program out, visit the OFX Downloader project at Google Code. You can find the source available as a featured download on the right, or you can check out the source code with subversion. Compile using your favoured method, or use the provided Ant build file.

Hi,
I am trying to connect to Nationwide using gnucash and not having much luck. Looked at your postings on moneydance and code and wondered if you could help as I am stuck.
Gnucash instructions says that I need a Bank ID, FID tag, ORG tag (also called FIORG) tag and the Broker ID. It suggests that the Bank ID = FID and is a 5 digit number and the Broker ID is blank.
Is the FIORG a unique number or the same for everyone’s account? Any idea what the ORG tag would be?
Anyhelp is greatly appreciated
Thanks
