HBCI/FinTS support

Description

Klaus Baronetzky <k.bar@gmx.de>

Mr. Baronetzky wants to know whether we can "add HBCI support to Moneydance?

If, yes, both by chip card and by PIN/TAN? (ChipCard? is safer, but some banks so far some banks offer only PIN/TAN)"

I did a little research and HBCI appears to be an alternative open banking protocol, used mostly in Germany:

Wikipedia entry on the topic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HBCI Open-source project on Sourceforge: http://openhbci.sourceforge.net/

Not sure how possible/beneficial this would be, please feel free to throw this out :)

  • keywords set to HBCI german.

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to wontfix.
  • summary changed from Request to add HBCI support to HBCI support.

for many german users HBCI is the only possibility to do online-banking. There may be other solution but these are very bank specific - one would have to program a different extension for every single bank. OFX is not used in Germany, mostly because law enforces different security specs.

here some things I found about HBCI (Java): HBCI Libary http://hbci4java.kapott.org/

and as "proof of concept" http://www.willuhn.de/projects/hibiscus/ this one won't run on my PC because "jameica" uses some platform specific libaries

I marked the topic as "wontfix" because after mailing with Sean it is clear that he has no time and resources to add that abillity - but if someone want to write an extension (plugin) for MD it should be no problem to get it work... only the license of "hbci4java" could become a problem

If you are really interested to include HBCI support in Moneydance... - maybe I could help you to write an appropriate plugin? The current HBCI4Java license should not be the main problem.

I just noticed this ticket after Raimund's change. Stefan, are you still interested in helping write a plugin? I am very interested in adding HBCI support to Moneydance.

I'm sure every german user is interested in HBCI/FinTS (with and without PIN/TAN, iTAN or whatever else is required). With Java only we don't get very far, as JNI has to be used as well to get chipcard reader supported.

support for chipcard-readers (esp. under OS/2 - eCS) seems to me the major problem; thanks to Jürgen for pointing that out
Btw. I'am having several ideas for a follow-up on project "Geldtanz", one is indeed realizing HBCI support in/for Moneydance... that was the reason I reopened this trac ticket. Great to see that there is interest in this specific feature

We get a request for this about once a month, btw. Any chance of seeing this?

I'm very intressted in Moneydance. But HBCI is crucial to me. Any chance that this tickets get's fixed? I'm willing to support. Both testing and developing.

I'am still not sure about starting a new Project for that at all
(earliest start could possibly be in April)
