MSN Money is the application doing the updates using Yodlee. Money only
support OFX Direct Connect. In 2005 they made it so that Money asks MSN to
connect to Yodlee to get the info. This was done for many reasons. One was
security... another was cost... another is ease.
Now, the problem that we are seeing with the banks not supported by Money
when they are supported by MSN Money is that there was an error with the way
the bank list was created in Money 2005. This error meant that banks in the
list were not assigned to their correct account types... i.e. FirstUSA would
show up as a Bank Account and not a Credit Card Account. So, MSN Money bank
list should be right and MS Money bank list should look more like MSN Money
bank list when the issues get worked out and the first software update/patch
is sent.
