Ally Bank has never provided the infrastructure that is required for Direct Connect support, they have only supported Quicken's proprietary protocols, thus restricting the software that can be used for automatic downloads.
The optional paid for service Moneydance+ may support downloads through the aggregator that is used, but I am not in a position to look up their supported banks.
You can import transaction files that your manually download from the bank into Moneydance.

I download multiple accounts from Ally fine using MD+

Hi Noah,
Thank you for contacting Moneydance support.
Currently, Moneydance supports automatic downloads using Direct Connect or Moneydance +. Although Ally Bank do not support Direct connect, they link just fine with Plaid through Moneydance +.
Without Direct Connect and Moneydance +, you are still able to easily import your data into the program using the OFX or QFX file format, if either of these are available from your bank's website. If not, you can use the QIF file format.Please find the steps for manually importing your data in this article.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have further questions or need any assistance.

FYI - while Ally *had been working* for me recently it stopped working.
Yesterday when I unlinked Ally from MD+ and then try to re-add it (including validating via 2FA) I get an error message from Plaid stating "Couldn't connect to your institution". :-(

Although I suspect I know what the answer is I'm going to ask it ...
Maddy - is there any kind of ~ support (probably not the best word) agreement b/t IK and Plaid? I understand that likely Ally may have changed something on their end, but how can we know/monitor if Plaid is truly trying to fix it quickly (depending on what changed)?
It's kind of a big deal to decide "yeah I'll do MD+" because something originally works but then it goes away.

Noah, please stay reassured that I have escalated this issue to Plaid support directly and we will post an update on this thread, as soon as they respond.
Thank you for your patience and sorry for any inconvenience this may be causing.

I'm having the same issue with Ally. Was working fine for quite some time, then stopped working 2/22/2023.

@ All
Plaid were able to identify an issue with their integration to Ally that is causing updates to fail for some users. This issue has been raised with their engineers.
We will post any updates here as soon as there is a resolution.
Thank you for your patience!

I "jumped the gun" without another update from Maddy confirming a fix and went and tried linking + downloading again, and it worked! Fingers crossed it keeps working!
Thanks @Maddy
