 I've seen many reports of recent trouble with Quicken Direct Connect
with Wells Fargo.

I was considering going ahead and PAYING to use Direct Connec with my
bank, Wells Fargo.

Are there any issues I should be aware of insofar as problems with
using the two together?


Has WF resolved any problems with their Direct Connect dowloads?

Thanks for any advice!

 I have been using WF direct connect since 1996 and have had No problems at
all. Works with my checking, money market, Visa and WF brokerage account.
Brokerage account recently went to direct connect. One Step Update and all
accounts are updated. I'm using Quicken 2005. I maintain the minimum
balance required (checking, money market savings and brokerage accounts
added together) and thus pay NO monthly fees.
Hpe this helps

I have been banking with WF for many years (even grandfathered in before
NorWest bought WF) and have substantial balances in checking and money
market savings. I still am charged $3 a month for direct connect (vs. web
connect). I read the fine print in WF terms and did not find anywhere that
the monthly fee is waived, as it is for bill pay. I also called WF with no
success. Can you tell me where to find the policy that waives the $3 monthly
Quicken online banking fee? Thanks.

P.S. Although $36/yr isn't that much, now that WF also provides web connect
(QFX) free, I'm considering using that instead.

Don't worry about what people think; they don't do it very often.

I too have been using Direct Connect and bill pay for many years. I use
Q2006 Deluxe but have not had issuess with any of the previous versions.

I update the accounts (6 of them) in on swoop and it also sends the
online payments out.

Only issue I have ever has is that some of the smaller payees (dentist,
pedatrition, etc.) take a while to get a payment. In the rare cases
where I get charged a fee WF will pay the fee and work with Checkfree to
get the payment.

Direct Connect is always available as far as I can tell and very accurate.

Hope that helps.

PS I pay the 3.95 and 6.95 for DC and BP. Still cheaper than checks and
stamps for the number I pay every month.

If there is a way to waive the fees for DC I don't know of any but is
interested in hearing them.
