Bank Of America in Washington state does not use a direct connection. I am
not certain if they are using CashEdge or Yodlee. It used to be Yodlee. In
order to make that work you must log into the MSN (have a passport account).
Thus it will become a two step process where the intermediate logs into your
Bank Of America account, does a screen scrap of the information and then
sends it to your machine via a QIF file.

Your Money data will be stored on MSN Money Central where you can log in
from any machine to view or update it.

I do not know if you have the choice of downloading OFX files from BoA WA
but they have the advantage over a QIF file of not duplicating downloads.

If you have direct connect into Quicken, I would be tempted to stay with
Quicken.

State = WA

I've never used Money before (longtime Quicken user) so I was hoping that I
just hadn't configured something correctly.

FWIW, I installed Quicken and it connects and retrieves all the data
correctly.

Can you identify which state so that we know if you are using a direct
connect or using CashEdge.

Surprised that you are not using OFX from Bank of America instead of GIF.
This implies to me that you do not have a direct connection.

My experience is that some FIs provide payee information (often incorrect)
and others don't. One would think a FI would provide the same info in QIF
and OFX, but.....................

Thanks Michael. Since the information is stored in the QIF file for import,
I didn't know if maybe there was an option I didn't have set up correctly.

If the provider isn't supplying the information --and that's what it sounds
like in this case -- then there won't be anyway for Money to display it.

I'm having the following problem:

In Money, I select to create a new account.
I select the Bank of America (BOA) listing for my state
I enter the authentication information
Money downloads the transactions for that account
** However, the payee information is missing.

If I manually download a QIF file from the BOA site and import that into
Money the information is correctly imported.

Is there a way for me to get this information without manually downloading
and importing a file each time?
