ING Bank and direct downloading of account activity.<br></p>
<p>I am looking for an alternative to MS Money, which I have been
using on my mac via booting Windows in VMWare Fusion. As of today,
MS Money is able to automatically connect and download all my
account activity for a half dozen ING accounts that I have. MS
Money has been automatically downloading ING account activity for
as long as I can remember (accounts are in USA).<br></p>
<p>With the above in mind, is there any chance that Moneydance can
be updated to also enable direct connect/update with ING?</p></div>StevenTtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/7478652009-12-29T03:37:48Z2009-12-29T03:37:48ZDirect Connect OFX support for ING Direct<div><p>Quicken and Money support two methods of accessing your
accounts: direct connect and web connect. With web connect, they
basically connect to your bank's website and download and import
OFX files. Direct connect actually connects to a server at your
bank instead of their website and usually requires different login
credentials than you would use to log into your banks website.
Moneydance only supports automatic connections through direct
connect and not web connect. You can still download OFX files form
your bank and import them, but there's currently no way to do this
automatically from within Moneydance.</p>
<p>Neither ING Direct nor PayPal support direct OFX connections. We
have integrated web connect capability on our long-term road map,
but it is unlikely to be implemented in the short term. You can
track and vote on this issue using our <a href=
"http://moneydance.com/trac/ticket/1224">bug and feature request
system</a>.</p>
<p>Please let me know if I can be of further assistance, and thank
you for your interest in Moneydance.</p>
