<p>We really need to fix the OFX download, the original issue.<br>
Where do we stand on that !!!<br>
Have you resolved the issue with Ameriprise? Have you contacted them?</p>
<p>To many of us Plaid is not really a solution. We do not want to use third parties and cloud to expose more points of failures and security risks. As a matter of fact the only reason I got Monedance is because of local handling of the accounts.</p>
<p>Please fix the OFX link !!! How hard that could be ?<br>
If this could not be resolved i need to consider the benefit for me using Moderance</p>

What used to be a 15-20 minute task of reconciling accounts every month now takes at least 4x as long. The only option is a CSV download, import and editing every transaction.</p>

I understand the industry trend...</p>
<p>However we are discussing the specific Ameriprise case here.<br>
Ameri[prise seem to have shut down the service temporarily, and still plan to have it long term. They would turn it on if the third party resubmits a request to do so. (see previous message on this topic from frgreen3)</p>
<p>So the main question is why MD was not able to get this going during the past 4 months since this tread is active?</p>
<p>@Maddy , could you please update the community on the progress!!! Has MD done anything regarding this?</p>

<p>I am not part of MD/IK so this is conjecture based on other situations like this (USAA, Schwab, a couple of others)</p>
<p>I think the key item you quote is this: we’re completing security assessments and re-enabling on a case by case basis.</p>
<p>In every case I mentioned, similar statements like this translated into "We will evaluate who we want to work with, and ignore those we don't." Primarily, the path is toward 3rd part aggregators (of which Quicken is considered one, because they are the biggest in the room), i.e. the bank can blame the aggregator if things go wrong.</p>
<p>Moneydance has been devoted to privacy, so they don't "aggregate", they keep you in control. Banks don't really want their customers to have control, as it becomes "their" fault if something goes wrong.</p>
<p>I'll let Maddy or someone else say the current status, but that's what I've seen over the last year when these types of things happen.</p></div>dtdtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/494894262022-06-04T13:33:00Z2022-06-04T13:33:00ZAmeriprise Brokerage 133 Direct is broken<div><p>@Maddy, or anyone at MD--any update on this?

<p>Upgrading to the latest preview version should hopefully fix the problem for you.<br>
Moneydance 2022.5 (4088) is now available to download from <a href="https://infinitekind.com/download-moneydance-personal-finance-software">this page</a>. This is a free upgrade for you!</p>
<p>You should remove or choose to overwrite the older version and restart Moneydance.</p>
<p>Finally, navigate to Online menu->Moneydance+ Set up and where it reads "Connected" on the right, click and select disconnect in the popup. Then try to recreate the connection as outlined in <a href="https://infinitekind.tenderapp.com/kb/moneydance/connect-accounts-with-moneydance">this article</a> of the Knowledge Base called Connect Accounts with Moneydance+.</p>
<p>Or if you are opting for the OFX service, you should follow the steps <a href="https://infinitekind.tenderapp.com/kb/online-banking-and-bill-pay/recreate-connection">here</a>.</p>
<p>I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions or need more assistance.</p>
