Sirs
US Bank PFM Direct Connect is a supported connect in MD, but I get an error #2003, account not found msg.
I've checked and double checked the routing and acct nos but still get #2003. I'm on a Macbook using OS X 10.6.3.

    Hi Tom,

    Many financial institutions will require you to enable your accounts for application-based online banking. You can accomplish this by asking your bank to set up your account for connections from Quicken. Moneydance uses exactly the same OFX server connection protocol as Quicken but your bank representative may not know this and mistakenly believe that they do not support Moneydance. Calling up your bank and stating precisely the following should get you started. "Please enable direct connect on my account such that I can connect to your servers directly with Quicken. Also give me the login credentials I need to connect Quicken to this service."

    Application-based online banking often requires a different login/PIN than the ones that are used for ATM or web-based banking. When you enable your account for access from Moneydance or Quicken, your financial institution should let you know what customer ID/login and PIN to use.

    Tom, were you ever able to get US Bank to enable your account for app-based connection? Same problem here.

    Rob,

    The first thing to try would be Jessica's instructions in post 2, which generally resolve the issue. If this doesn't help let us know and we'll move forward from there. I also know that US Bank had some serious issues over the past few weeks, but I believe their servers are all back up and running now. Let me know how it goes, and we'll move forward from there.

    I contacted US Bank with the recommended verbiage. Got this response today from them:

    Hi Rob,

    It sounds like they are trying to get you set up with web connect instead of direct connect. There is a monthly fee associated with direct connection access. Perhaps if you ask them for direct connect and mention that you know there is a fee, they will then know what you are talking about and be able to set you up.
