One would expect an online bank to know QIF file format? Don't count on www.ingdirect.com.au

INGDirect has been caught previously for corrupting the download transaction data, now it has even failed to encode the download transaction data in correct QIF format.

Consider the following excerpt of the downloaded transaction in QIF format:

!Type:Bank
D30/06/2010
PDeposit - Interest Credit
T
T10.88
T42345.94
^
D27/06/2010
PDeposit - Deposit from linked bank account
T
T1000.00
T43345.94
^
The bit in red should not be there. I have to run a filter to get rid of those offending records before it can be imported properly.

Sad to find an online bank does not know basic stuff.
