Because ING changed their rules. They probably wanted to make their
downloading process more secure than Money's direct system permits.

I am having some trouble getting ING Direct to work properly in Money 2006.
When I first opened my ING account a few weeks ago I was able to add the
account in Money without any problems. My account balance would update
automatically along with the rest of my bank accounts. I did notice that my
transactions weren't updating automatically so I deleted the account and
tried to add it back.

Now I can't get ING to add back into my account list. I keep getting an
error saying that Money can't connect to the ING information. I have found
out that I have to download my ING transactions manually, but I don't
understand why I can't link the account when I was able to just a few days
ago. Any helpful information on this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Microsoft Money connects directly to servers under the control of your bank.
An alternative method is a third-party system that logs into your bank's web
site on your behalf, runs some queries to get some data, then returns it to
Money. Microsoft has a relationship with Yodlee and CashEdge to do that.

If any of your banks offer the means on their web site to 'consolidate your
accounts from other banks', they're doing the same thing, through the same
providers. They're not doing it for your benefit, they're doing it for
theirs. They can get all kinds of credit information on you without your
consent. What they can't get, without your consent, is asset information.
When you give them the keys to your other bank accounts, you give them
consent.

"Direct Connect" is a term generally associated with the ability to
access and download, without going through a third-party service, the
balance and activity of an account at a financial institution (FI) to a
corresponding account created within Microsoft Money. The Money
software incorporates the protocols required to permit the direct
connections for those FI's that support the Microsoft Money
application. The ability to access the FI's bill payment service, if
offered, may also be included in "direct connect".

As for your specific question regarding ING Direct: ING previously
offered direct connect but currently they don't. Presently, the
appearance that an account at ING is updated "directly" in Money is
only possible through a third party service. To use this third party
service one needs to configure their Money file for Microsoft Passport
login and agree to upload their Money file data to a Microsoft service
accessible (if one wishes) through an MSN site.

Alternately, one could login to ING's site to download current balance
and new activity to a corresponding Money account.

Hope this helps!

JB

I read the posts on here and am still unclear if Money 2006 can access IND
Direct. And what is "direct connect"?

thx, FrankV

If you go to Yodlee on-center site you will see that Yodlee collects 4
pieces of information. That is all that Yodlee pulls information from.
I have tried it from the yodlee site and can gain access to my ING
account. I have never set it up from within Money 2006 so I can not
comment on the Money side of things. However the information collected
should all have made it to the Yodlee database.

Hi cjsherlock,

You write:

presented at every web session. For example, typing in your PIN number
corresponds to a sequence of letters, which changes within each session.
Also, the question that gets presented changes with each session. So it
seems to me that only manually process going through the web will work.

I agree that this is not as good as having Direct Services - but that's
something ING chose to forgo in the interest of security.

I know that it use to work before ING added the extra authentication
stuff...but then the 2006 was suppose to work...they request all the
additional information that ING needed to authenticate...but it still does
not work...
woudl be nice if someone from Microsoft would comment on this...Heck they
offer that $50 to open an account but you cant use it from with in
Money....you have to download the ofx file...what a joke and a PAIN IN THE A##

That is incorrect. Money 2006 DOES support ING Direct in the US. I'm not
sure why his isn't working, but mine is.

ING Direct in the US does not support Direct Services... you must log in the

How are you trying to do this? Set up for automatic downloads. Manually
with Money open? Manually to an ofx file?

I cannot download information through Money 2006 from ING Direct. I fill out
all the information that is required, but it does not work? Anyone know why?
