How to import QFX file into "Quickbooks desktop"?

First I would like to say how disappointed I am with INTUIT. I myself have spent 50 hours trying to figure out how to import into "QUICKBOOKS DESKTOP", NOT "QUICBOOKS ONLINE", CSV, xlsx,  or IIF files, multiply that by tens of thousands of people the amount of wasted productivity around the world. I'm talking about bank account transactions, NOT lists of accounts. INTUIT could have built this in. 

 

So can anyone help me? My bank is not listed on INTUIT'S list of "WEB CONNECTED" institutions. I can download transactions as .QFX (QUICKEN) or .CSV. Though a 3rd online service I converted the .QFX file to a .OBO file. When I imported the file (File/Utilities/Import/Web Connect file...) QB processed normally but came back with Error: Quickbooks is unable to verify the Financial Institution information for this download. Click here to view fixes for this issue. The "fixes" wrongly presume the institution is "WEB CONNECTED". Who does INTUIT think they are, I should have the option to import the info regardless, are they the data entry police?

Make sure you are using a supported QBD version (i.e 2020-2023) to import *.qbo files.
