TMobile Money is not available Quicken Users...
This issue (re ability for TMobile Money function w Quicken) was originally raised over 1 YEAR AGO, and has yet to be accurately answered, much less resolved. For some unknown reason, the issue was...
Basically, I wouldn't mind giving T-Mobile my banking business. Except that the lack of Quicken integration, of any kind, is a show-stopper. Y punto.
Quicken has, basically, three ways of operating:
- Simplest: Download .csv files or similar (there’s an interchange format) that allows dumping transactions into the register.
- Bit more complex: There’s a Web-Connect that does the same thing, but it can be initiated by the user, so that multiple accounts at multiple financial institutions can get transactions downloaded.
- Direct Connect: Highly secure, Quicken's servers talk to the financial institution's servers. Faster than web-connect. As an added bonus, those banks that pay for the privilege can also pay bills this way, avoiding the ad-laden, cookie-laden, privacy-stealing method of paying for bills directly on a financial institution's own web site.
Thing is: It's not just banks that do this. So do major mutual funds, brokerage houses, and other financial institutions. Heck, the 401K plan at work has Quicken integration!
T-Mobile's banking attempt, as currently constituted, high interest rates or no, show that they're running a tricycle in a Indy 500 race car world. Catch up, T-Mobile! Dig out that spokes lady of yours that used to run around on her motorcycle!
