Wachovia charging for MS Money Access

#15 04-13-2007, 12:10 AM

With some accounts, Wachovia charges if you download from within Money.
But, if you initiate the download from the website, then there's no charge.

Man that sucks...i totally agree...Recently I upgraded from money 2004 to
MSmoney 2007 deluxe...to tell the truth if i hadn't run into that glitch
about changing
your password with hotmail ...which was connected to my passport...which was
connected to my MSmoney....i'm not sure if i would have upgraded or not...in
the end to resolve my being locked out of my program and not wanting to lose
all of my financial data for the past 5 years...i upgraded to msmoney 2007
which claimed to have resolved that issue....tadaaaaa.....it worked...I'm
still here!!!

anyways...BofA thought it would be a pretty cool thing to do some upgrades
to their online banking system or whatever!!! all i can say is that bank
needs to do some damn unit testing before they actually fully implement
something live....in other words...work out the kinks before you shove it to
your customers!

i still hate the fact that i don't have the option to download any of my
transactions on my credit cards....i have to wait till the beginning of the
next statement period...then this months electronic statement will be
available for download....sucks...but i'm toughin it out....i preferred to
have the same option that the savings and checking accts have...either
download the whole statement or a specific date range...guess that was too
hard for them....

its a pisser to have to bend to their will when we are letting them have our
money and them making interest and loans on our money which they have in the
bank...i swear everyone in the world or the U.S. should just boycot all their
banks and goto them and say....i want to withdraw all my money NOW!!! and
everyone takes out all their money on the same day....and keeps it for a
week....would be a funny to see how the banks react....

anyways...gotta study some more anatomy...

later

Correct, the limits for free enhanced online (auto download) is combined 5K

in checking, Savings, and loan service.

It is so interesting that we are becoming a society willing to pay to avoid
advertising - which I suspect is the case here. Since I don't want to use
their Bill Pay site AND I want to use a more integrated tool for my needs
AND I don't want their advertisers in my face - I have to pay to avoid them.
But we do it with Sirius Satellite Radio, Cable TV, on-line newsletters (of
print version over-loaded with ads), etc... I get sooooo tired of the
advertising barrage.......

I still don't see a valid need for charging me to get to my own financial
data. By me using Money (or Quicken) I am actually saving them work and
making their job easier yet I have to pay THEM for the privilege. What are
we coming too?

Thanks for the help an the information.

WAIT! this fee is easily avoided!

You didn't see the asterisk, check at the bottom:

* Customers who access Wachovia Online Banking directly through personal
financial management software and have an active Crown Select, Crown
Classic, Crown Banking, Crown Access, Crown Regular, Crown Interest, Custom
Banking, Performance Banking or Command Asset Program will not be charged.

I have a Crown account, it's easy to change your account to that, there are
no fees to change, and there are only advcantages to having that type of
account. They can probably change your account to that over the phone, I
went in to the local branch and had it changed. I have found their people to
be very friendly and competent.

No reason to change OR start paying the fee!

Sad, isn't it? If Yodlee and CashEdge are the answer to much of anything,
I'd love to know what the question was.

I guess what I said in my previous post was that Chase was doing the exact
same thing. The only difference is that they continue to offer the free
service to legacy customers. HSBC also dropped their automatic (1st party)
download service into Money (free or paid) last December, although you can
still download manually from their website. This seems to be a growing
trend as Money (and Quicken) are now limiting the downloads to their
software to two years. It seems like the banks and MS/Intuit seem to be in
a race of who can provide the least service for the Money.

It's a policy that seems quite counter to the notion of progressively
providing access to customer data from tools like Money. It seems as though
Wachovia is doing something specifically contrary the interests of Money
users and, hence, to Money and programs like it. Given all of the hoopla
surrounding this downloaded data thing, this seems to confirm my perception
that the banks--or at least this solitary one--would prefer NOT to support
these modes of operation since they deprive the FIs of access to their
customers' eyeballs and mouse clicks.

Chase, at least in NYC, charges $9.95 per month for Money access for all
accounts opened after August 2005 ($6.95 if you keep a combined balance of
over $75,000 in all your Chase Savings and Investment accounts), so it is
not of any use to a new customer.

As I read the info at Wachovia, the charge will be imposed if you initiate
the download from within Money. However, if you do it manually (download
from the web site, then import into Money), then there won't be a charge.

Bank of America charges 9.95 a month for "enhanced" online services that
allow Money to update. but there are no charges for the web site including
bill pay. However if you get the mega-deluxe account, and there are ways to
get it free if you have certain minimum balances, loans, etc... it's free.

#1 03-13-2007, 07:02 PM

Thanks. That might work but I'm in Nashville, TN. They aren't around here so
they don't have any ATM's around. What I don't spend in on-line fees I'd
spend in ATM fees.

Guess I should have been more specific. Thanks anyway.

#-1 03-13-2007, 03:33 PM

Well, one of the reasons I switched to wachovia two years ago from Wells
Fargo was the free access to my own money data using Microsoft Money. Now
Wachovia is going to start charging $5.95 per month starting in April. They
have my money, are using it to fund loans and yet they want to charge me to
simply communicate data. (Yes, I pay bill with it but they don't charge
their customers for on-line bill pay which does the same thing.)

So, what other bnks are out there that still have free access to accounts
using Microsoft Money? Thanks.
