It's only 'compulsory' if your bank does not support direct statements. If,
when you attempt to set up online banking, Money says you MUST set up a
passport, your bank does not support direct connection. Read the screen
carefully to determine if it's simply trying to CONVINCE you to do that,
without stating that you MUST do that. If you must, then there is no way
around it for the bank you chose.

Some banks have separate entries in the list. Wachovia, for example, has an
entry labeled 'zWachovia'. Obviously, that shows up at the bottom of the
list. If you just pick 'Wachovia', I think that entry requires a Passport.
zWachovia does not.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

Is there a way to use online updates without using passport? I'm not asking
about file downloads - I want msmoney to connect directly to my newly opened
citibank accounts and download account transactions whenever I select the
on-line updates option.
This works fine for the accounts I've set up in earlier versions, but using
passport and publishing your account information to the web seems to be
compulsary for any new accounts.
I'm not comfortable with publishing all my financial information on the
internet, regardless of how secure that might be, or regardless of what
microsoft thinks what the advantages of doing so are.

regards,
-Ravi
