Thank you for contacting Moneydance support.</p>
<p>Moneydance supports automatic downloads using Direct Connect, and you can view a list of financial institutions we've already established connections with on <a href="https://infinitekind.com/fi">this page</a>.</p>
<p>If your bank/s are listed, you can set this up within Moneydance by navigating to Online --> Set Up Online Banking. Then select 'New Connection' and choose your financial institution from the list.</p>
<p>Most banks require that you contact them to enable Direct Connect before you can download your data from within Moneydance. Have you already done this?</p>
<p>When you enable Direct Connect, you'll be given the login credentials you need to connect. Generally, these login details differ from those used for other services like ATM or online banking.</p>
<p>By only using Direct Connect, we can guarantee that your username, password and financial data only ever exists with your bank or on your own personal computer, and at no point are your details stored on another server.</p>
<p>You can read more about why we only support this connection type in our <a href="https://infinitekind.com/blog/online-banking-privacy-security">blog</a> and also in <a href="https://infinitekind.tenderapp.com/kb/online-banking-and-bill-pay/express-web-connect">this article</a>.</p>
<p>Without Direct Connect, you are still able to easily import your data into the program. The best way to get your transactions into Moneydance is to use a web browser to download files from your bank's web site.</p>
<p>We'd recommend you download using the OFX or QFX file format if available. If not, use the QIF file format. (These files are sometimes referred to as Quicken or MS Money files). You can import the files to Moneydance using File --> Import.<br>
The steps for manually importing your data are outlined in <a href="https://infinitekind.tenderapp.com/kb/online-banking-and-bill-pay/manual-downloads">this article</a> from the knowledge base.</p>
<p>Moneydance 2019 includes en embedded browser (currently a beta feature) that makes downloading from the banks website much easier. We're also working on another feature (coming soon) that will remember how you download from the banks site and help to automate the manual import process.</p>
<p>I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have further questions or need any assistance.</p>
