You can download statements from most brokers without a Passport.
Ditto most big credit cards. They provide their own servers to give
the data to Money.
Many banks do not provide those servers. Most credit unions do not.
If you are looking for such a bank when choosing, you can find them.
For those that do not provide their own servers , a third party gets
involved and those connections require Passport.
If you click on your institution at
http://www.microsoft.com/money/bankonline.aspx you can see if the
term "third party" is part of the description.
