Direct Connect allows you to set up your Ameriprise accounts and initiate downloads from within Quicken using One Step Update.

Web Connect requires that you download account information from the Ameriprise site and then import the files into Quicken.

Web Connect and Express Web Connect are not supported by Ameriprise Brokerage.

For your security we must verify your identity before enabling Quicken's Direct Connect download method. To verify your identity you must complete the verification process by entering your online User ID and Password on the verification page.

If you have more than one Quicken file, multiple computers you wish to complete downloads on, or have different types of accounts with Ameriprise, e.g. Brokerage or Card, you will need to complete the verification process more than once.

If you have not completed the verification process you will be prompted from within Quicken. Please follow the prompts and instructions from within Quicken and on the verification page. You will need your Ameriprise online User ID and Password to complete this process.

When you enter your User ID and Password on the verification page, Ameriprise will run a check to verify your identity. The check will only take a few minutes to complete.

Once verification is complete, you will be instructed to close the Ameriprise window, return to Quicken and complete your Quicken activity within 30 minutes. If you do not complete your Quicken activity within 30 minutes, you will need to repeat the verification process.

In order to use Quicken's Direct connect download method, you must complete the verification process. For help with the verification process, please call customer service at 800.862.7919.

• Run Quicken on multiple computers
• Use multiple Quicken files
• Use multiple versions of Quicken
• Have credit cards, bank accounts and brokerage accounts
