<p>We are sorry to hear about the problem you have encountered.</p>
<p>Which version and build of Moneydance are you using?<br>
To check, open Moneydance and select Help --> About Moneydance, where the version and build number will be displayed.</p>
<hr>
<p>If you haven't already, you should try to recreate the connection with your bank. You will need to disable your current connection and then recreate it using the New Connection button on the Online Banking Setup screen. To do so, you can follow these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Select your bank account in Moneydance
<br></li>
<li>Select Online --> Setup Online Banking<br></li>
<li>Click the "Disable" button. If you don't see this button, just close the window.
<br></li>
<li>Repeat the previous steps for any additional accounts at the same institution.<br></li>
<li>Select Online --> Setup Online Banking (again)
<br></li>
<li>Click the "New Connection" button and select your bank and hit OK<br></li>
<li>Continue with the setup process, entering your username/password
</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Make sure you pick "New Connection"</strong>, even though your bank is still one of the connection choices after you disable it. Choosing your bank from the long list of available banks will force Moneydance to download the updated information, which should then allow you to connect.</p>
<p>Please let us know if you continue to have connection problems after recreating your connection and we'll troubleshoot further.</p>

<p>I am using version 2022.2 build 4060</p>
<p>Disabled all Ameriprise accounts<br>
Tried to reconnect.<br>
There is no New Connection Button, just the list of connection possibilities. Choosing the Ameriprise Brokerage 133 Direct option starts to attempt to connect.</p>
<p>Lists Account Name.</p>
<p>Retrieves information from institution then gives the following error message:</p>
<p>There was an error communicating with your financial institution. The details of this error are below.</p>
<p>Bank Name: Ameriprise Brokerage 133 Direct</p>
<p>A communication or parsing error occurred. This could be the result of a network problem, a proxy error, or misconfigured server.<br>
Error Description: java.io.IOException: HTTP Error:403 Forbidden</p>
<p>However it then continues the setup and asks which account number to use. It has communicated something with Ameriprise because it lists the two sub-account numbers that are in the Ameriprise account.</p>
<p>I choose one</p>
<p>Setup finishes</p>
<p>Attempting to download transactions results in the following:</p>
<p>There was an error communicating with your financial institution. The details of this error are below.</p>
<p>Bank Name: Ameriprise Brokerage 133 Direct<br>
Account: AMERIPRISE (Name Deleted in this email, is correct in error message)<br>
Account Number: Deleted in this email, is correct in the error message.</p>
<p>A communication or parsing error occurred. This could be the result of a network problem, a proxy error, or misconfigured server.<br>
Error Description: java.io.IOException: HTTP Error:403 Forbidden</p>
<p>Moneydance had no difficulties with this institution until very recently. It seems to have coincided with Quicken not being able to download (according to a web search). According to Ameriprise that issue was fixed. It is possible that the fix broke Moneydance’s communication or the original Quicken server error caused the communication error</p>
<p>Strange.</p></div>frgreen3tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/494894262021-11-15T17:37:54Z2021-11-15T17:37:54ZAmeriprise Brokerage 133 Direct is broken<div><p>The error 403 Forbidden is a general error and it could be due to a temporary disruption or even just routine maintenance at the bank's end.<br>
However, can you try completely resetting your connection to your bank and see if that fixes the problem you're seeing?<br>
To do this, you'll need to force clear the current connection information for your bank in Moneydance. I'm sending a file called '<em>remove_one_service</em>.py_' that will help do that.</p>
<p>Before proceeding, take a manual backup via File --> Export Backup.</p>
<p>To use the <em>.py</em> file, first save it to your computer and then follow these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>In Moneydance, select Window --> Show Moneybot Console<br></li>
<li>In the window that opens, select 'Open Script' then navigate to the <em>.py</em> file wherever you saved it on your system.<br></li>
<li>Select 'Run' to execute the file - you may need to drag the window to the right to reveal the button. Please note: you should <strong>not</strong> choose Run Snippet.<br></li>
<li>You will be asked to select which connection you want to clear. Choose your bank, and click OK. You'll get a confirmation message when the connection has been removed. Close the window when done.<br></li>
<li>Set up the connection to your bank like normal choosing the <strong>"New Connection"</strong> button. Since all of your settings have been cleared, you should get the most recent connection information for your bank.</li>
</ol>
<p>Hopefully, that will work. If it doesn't, please let us know and we'll continue troubleshooting.</p>

<p>The online list window setup used to offer a drop down list of banks you already use (what Maddy was talking about when she said choose "new"), but that is now gone - a good thing. As a long time user of MD and OFX downloading, I have found that some banks change things that will cause a break more often than I would like. Bank security protocols seem to be changing even more these days than they used to. But have hope, IK has been pretty good at adapting to their changes -and, it might be just a temporary bank problem.</p></div>avp2tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/494894262021-11-18T19:04:04Z2021-11-18T19:04:04ZAmeriprise Brokerage 133 Direct is broken<div><p>In addition to the suggestion avp2 made in post 8 of <a href="https://infinitekind.tenderapp.com/discussions/online-banking/20460-ameriprise-brokerage-133-direct-is-broken">this thread</a> I would like to confirm that the connection specialist has been looking into this as well and hopefully we will be able to provide a solution soon (if there is anything we can do on our end).

<p>At this time, Moneydance+ does not support investment accounts. This is why you are receiving that error message. That being said, we are working with <a href="https://plaid.com/">Plaid</a> (the third-party aggregator that our Moneydance+ service uses) to enable this, but we can't speculate on when that will be released.<br>
I have flagged this <a href="https://infinitekind.tenderapp.com/discussions/online-banking/20460-ameriprise-brokerage-133-direct-is-broken">thread</a> now and you will be notified as soon as this feature becomes available.</p>
<p>@All</p>
<p>As for the OFX connection error, if all of you are still receiving the HTTP Error:403 Forbidden after recreating the connection, this quite likely means that Ameriprise are making some changes at their end. Our connection specialist is currently investigating this and we will post <a href="https://infinitekind.tenderapp.com/discussions/online-banking/20460-ameriprise-brokerage-133-direct-is-broken">here</a> as soon as we can provide more information.<br>
Have you tried contacting Ameriprise directly?</p>

<p>Ameriprise started an identity re-verification process. Quicken users have to go to <a href="http://www.ameriprise.com/quicken">www.ameriprise.com/quicken</a> and log in. From there, Ameriprise establishes a 30 minute window where they look for the Quicken user to download their online financial activity. If the re-verification process is successful, Quicken will then be authorized for future downloads. This is intended to be a one-time process.</p>
<p>I tried the above re-verification process, but Ameriprise did not recognize my Moneydance request and it failed.</p></div>Charlietag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/494894262022-01-06T17:39:22Z2022-01-06T17:39:25ZAmeriprise Brokerage 133 Direct is broken<div><p>I contacted Ameriprise web support to determine if the ameriprise.com/quicken re-validation process would work with Moneydance.

<p>He also mentioned there was an Ameriprise\Quicken problem on November 9 where the users were told to reset their passwords in both Ameriprise and Quicken so they could re-sync and reestablish the connection token. I noted this was the same date that Moneydance account activity downloads broke.</p>
<p>I used the "Forget online passwords" option in Moneydance (removes ALL account passwords) and when the next download process prompted for the password, all accounts except Ameriprise connected.

<p>“OFX is a language and we currently support multiple organizations that use the capability.</p>
<p>SO – do we support MoneyDance?<br>
Short answer is – I’m not sure – we did block everyone in November after the brute force attack.<br>
After things were stabilized the group did enable Quicken, Banktivity and MNYINET.</p>
<p>We would need the ofx logs and request headers to determine where this is coming in from.</p>
<p>If it is currently “disabled” we would have to work with infosec and others to complete an impact assessment before we could re-authorize access.</p>
<p>Client would have to work with the Moneydance to have that team investigate the error and engage us with the information if we are blocking the access.”</p>
<p>He also received the following summary:</p>
<p>After a recent attempt by bad actors to compromise our information security using third party tools, we shut down several third party integrations, pending security reviews of their software. As these parties reach out to us to re-establish connection, we’re completing security assessments and re-enabling on a case by case basis. We would recommend having your client submit a request to MoneyDance to re-establish their connectivity with Ameriprise and our internal team is prepared to partner on that request once received.</p></div>frgreen3
