Cannot Access Bank Accounts Online if Don't Store Money Info on MS

#1 06-17-2005, 01:20 AM

You must have Money 2005, right? Do you sync with a bank that doesn't
support Money directly? (ie, does not require a Passport.) If so, that's the
answer. Perhaps MS decided that the price of them managing the sync was you
providing your personal financial data to them and/or Yodlee for data-mining
purposes?

Just conjecture.

The Unofficial FAQ speculates on why this is so:

Hi,

I turned off the option to have my account information synchronized and
stored on MSN. My confusion lies to why that also means that Money cannot
continue to automatically download bank/credit card/etc information to Money.
Some do continue to be able to be downloaded automatically. Others don't.
Basically, it says "If you don't store your info on MSN Money, you won't be
able to utilize online features for some financial instutions". I don't
understand the tie between having your information stored on MSN and auto
downloading from financial institutions, especially if some still continue to
work fine even if nothing is stored on MSN. They should be orthogonal
features in my mind.

Can someone enlighten me?

Thanks,
- Joel
