Wow, talk about a straight answer. I recently wrote GMAC and asked them:
Hi, Are you planning to release data for Quicken? Thanks, Freedumb
And received the following response:
Thank you for contacting GMAC Bank. GMAC Bank will not be offering the Quicken functionality. In order to be compliant with the Intuit packaging, our current infrastructure would require change that is simply prohibitive from a cost benefit analysis. Have a nice day.
xxxxxxxx, GMAC Bank Customer Care
I like straight answers, but wow. That was as honest as it comes. Anyway, if you’re considering GMAC, note that they do not have Quicken transaction data.

So funny you wrote about this. I emailed GMAC for months last year about this issue. Finally I got the same answer they didn’t want to pay the fees.
I was just doing a Quicken overhaul and trying to find a hack. But no luck.
Did you ever find a solution?

Hi kiasuchick, You know I noticed they now have a feature to download the transactions to Quicken. But that’s about it…I don’t think it’s automatic…

Just as a FYI… you can now export transactions from their web site in a quicken format. Its not autopolling but the next best thing.
