I did recently update my password at Charles Schwab, but have set up Moneydance so I type my password everytime, so not thinking that is the issue. I have tried uninstalling Moneydance and reinstalling, and restoring a back up copy, but it still will not downloand the transactions into my register. Moneydance walks me through the transaction download process but it just does not download the transactions. Was unable to find anything in your online resources that was helpful, unless I just looked in the wrong place. Any assistance would be deeply appreciated. If I am unable to rectify, I will need to return to Quciken, but would rather not. Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.</p>
<p>Thanks!.</p></div>Jeffrey Morrisontag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/487674602020-10-25T21:32:24Z2020-10-29T12:43:34ZUnable to download transactions from Charles Schwab<div><p><a href="https://infinitekind.tenderapp.com/discussions/online-banking/17158-online-banking-appears-to-have-halted-for-schwab-bank">https://infinitekind.tenderapp.com/discussions/online-banking/17158...</a></p>
<p>This was a decision made by Charles Schwab , on October 16 I think, without consulting their clients (Schwab appears to have contacted aggregators over the last few months, but they did not contact any clients)</p>
<p>Many of us are complaining to Schwab, and Sean (Moneydance developer) is trying to get involved with a possible resolution.</p>
<p>Just a user</p>
<p>PS - Changing anything in Moneydance right now won't affect anything, as Schwab has shut down what has worked for years.</p></div>dtdtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/487674602020-10-26T01:33:57Z2020-10-29T12:43:34ZUnable to download transactions from Charles Schwab<div><p>Charles Schwab said...<br>

Thank you for your patience. According to my resources, the technology department has made a decision to restrict the ability to export transaction data. As of market close on October 16, 2020, Schwab will restrict access to its legacy OFX (ofx.schwab.com) for all third parties except for Quicken (personal finance management), TurboTax,and H&R Block (for tax preparation). According to the statement, this step is being taken to secure clients' data. I apologize for the inconvenience. The notes stat that this policy may be amended as time goes on.</p>
<p>So the only choice I have now is Quicken, or do it by hand? Seriously Schwab? Seems a bit like thuggish monopolistic behavior. Filed a formal complaint.</p>
<p>I left Quicken because I had sevre technical issues with their software which none of their techs could solve, and Microsoft Money closed up shop.. .Sadly Moneydance, if you can't change Schwab's tune, Moneydance is regretfully dead to me.</p></div>Jeffrey Morrisontag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/487674602020-10-26T08:22:59Z2020-10-29T12:43:34ZUnable to download transactions from Charles Schwab<div><p>I am not support staff, just a user.<br>
Hi Jeffrey</p>
<p>Some posts on the subject in different discussions from Moneydance’s software developer you may find interesting.</p>

<p>To me, basically the issue is that Schwab has been planning this change for months, but without contacting a single client, and only contacting major software vendors (including some aggregators).</p>
<p>And, no provision for an interim solution (i.e. you can only download CSV files, not OFX, manually).</p>
<p>For me, the issue is making a major decision change for a system that has existed for 10-20 years with no warning, no contact to users, and no contact to many (smaller) software providers.</p>
<p>I put this all on Schwab. I've been a Schwab customer for over 30 years.</p>
<p>For them to say, "hey, your software vendor needs to contact us" is almost as insulting as saying "hey, why didn't you know this was going to happen?"</p></div>dtdtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/487674602020-10-29T00:28:28Z2021-12-24T08:20:55ZUnable to download transactions from Charles Schwab<div><p>Hello,</p>
<p>I used som of my contacts at Schwab to raise attention to this issue. Here is what Schwab says Infinite kind need to do:</p>
<p>Schwab has restricted access to its legacy OFX for all 3rd parties except for: Quicken, Turbo Tax and H&R Block. This step is being taken to secure our client's data. Third parties who have historically used OFX to aggregate Schwab client data are encouraged to register for access to the Retail Account Aggregation API at developer.schwab.com <a href="http://developer.schwab.com/">http://developer.schwab.com/</a>. This website is not intended for clients, but for third parties who provide software solutions to retail clients.</p>
<p>Hope this is helpful and can expedite a solution.</p>
<p>Regards,</p>

<p>Please find the latest update below:</p>
<p>Our connection specialist have now access to the FDX protocol specification and he is working towards implementing it. We still need our application to Schwab's developer program to be accepted which should be happening soon.</p>
<p>We will keep you posted on any improvements timely.</p>
