Not that I know of. But I wouldn't know of any changes beyond what I
can see from the front end of the web site.

The last time this happened, I called the bank's web support and they
a) denied making any changes and the b) refused to help any further
when I said I was using MS Money to access the info.

This bank doesn't have to worry about that, all I can do from Money
there anyway is download transactions that have been posted. I can't
make transfers or payments, I have to do that through the web site
anyway.

Has the bank made any changes to their web site? If so, there's your
problem.

Every time the Financial Institution (FI) changes something, Yodlee has to
change their software to compensate. Obviously, Yodlee can't keep a
constant watch on the billions and billions of FI web sites watching for
some programmer to change a field name from "Account Name" to "User ID".

Well, maybe their software _can_ automatically detect the change, but
Yodlee then has to manually update their code to use the new
configuration, followed by a quality assurance and testing process that
might take a day or so. The idiot at the FI then makes frequent changes
from "Account Name" to "AccountName" to "accountname" to "User ID" to
"user id", et cetera, and Yodlee has to start over after every change.

I'd be willing to bet that some FIs make these annoying changes on purpose
just to screw up the Yodlee system. Remember, the FI wants you to log in
to their web site so they can show you some Really Important New ProductsR
and Messages From Our SponsorsR that you can't live without.

Default Yodlee link broken again

Once again, access to my bank through MS Money ('07) via Yodlee is
broken. This is getting tiresome. I haven't been able to update my
account online in over a week.

It claims that my "sign-in information" doesn't match the bank's
records, when it does. I've verified this by logging into the online
access of my bank via Internet Explorer with zero problems using the
same username and password as configured in the account settings in
Money.
