FDP-103 Error with Ally Bank (edited)

I have been unable to add my bank accounts to Simplifi. I use Ally Bank and can't add the account or any other accounts. I have been in contact with tech support numerous times and the problem still exists.

    Hello @djmccauley1958,

    Thanks for reaching out! I can see the 103 error on our side when you are trying to connect. With this error, we want to be absolutely certain that your login information is correct and have followed the steps outlined below:

    • Verify the bank selected is the correct instance.
      • You may see several different instances of your bank that you can add in the Add Account screen. Check to see if you’re using the correct one.
    • Verify that your login information is correct.
      • Type your password/PIN into a text application to ensure you don’t have any typographical errors. Then, copy and paste your login information into Quicken Simplifi to ensure accuracy.
    • Verify your login at the bank’s website – Try to sign in to your bank’s website using the same login credentials to ensure you've not locked yourself out of the account and that the credentials are still valid.
    • Check for an app-specific password – Some banks require users to use a specific app password when connecting to a third party. Check with your bank to see if you need to use an app-specific password.
    • Update your credentials – Try temporarily updating your password at your bank's website and then try again to connect to Quicken Simplifi. We recommend NOT using the following special characters: & < > / \.

    Thanks,

    Coach Jon

    I am unable to connect to Ally Bank and I have done everything that has been suggested. When will it be repaired?

    I too cannot connect to Ally Bank for an auto finance loan. I receive the FDP-103 error.

    Steps I have taken so far…

    I verified username/password works correctly on ally.com website and mobile app. I use a password manager and so the same information is copied and pasted. Also verified information was correct by checking "show password".

    I have attempted connecting on every bank instance on the Add your account screen.

    I have checked Ally for an app-specific password and found nothing related to it.

    I have updated my credentials and avoided using any special characters. I then verified again that it worked on the Ally bank website and mobile app.

    Any further direction and support would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello @Mike Popiel,

    Thanks for reaching out, and for the information. If you could answer the following questions, this would help us:

    1. Have there been recent changes in your banking website? If there are changes, what are those?
    2. What is the exact URL you use to log in to your account (login URL)?
    3. What type of accounts are you adding (banking, investment, debt, etc.)?
    4. Please get a screenshot of the bank account summary page that includes the URL. You’re welcome to remove or obscure any personal information.
    5. Document the FORMAT of the password (NOT the actual password!). For example, the password of "Quicken123$" would be "Xxxxxxx###$." Document the specific special character(s) in your password (AGAIN, DO NOT request or document your actual password!). We recommend to NOT use the following special characters & < > / \.

    Feel free to send this information via DM to me!

    Hello @Mike Popiel,

    Thanks for the information. It appears the screenshot you provided did not include the page URL we requested. Can you attach another screenshot showing the URL, please?

    Thanks,

    I think that is what you are looking for. From the log in screen

    Hello @Mike Popiel,

    I think there is some confusion regarding what is being requested. It needs to be a screenshot of the Accounts Summary page from the bank's website (the page that lists all accounts and balances - feel free to redact any private info) that has a wide enough scope to show the page URL (this must be taken from a web browser and not a mobile browser).

    Please make sure to contain all the information in the screenshot. Thank you!

    Hello @Mike Popiel,

    Thank you! While preparing the escalation, I noticed you had a previous contact for this same issue with a support representative. It looks like they are waiting for your reply before proceeding further. You will want to reach out to your previous chat with that support rep to continue that escalation. There is no need to proceed in the community.

    Thanks,

    Coach Jon

    Hello @Mike Popiel,

    Our service provider came back with an update on this issue. They have stated that currently Auto loan accounts are not supported from Ally Bank at this time. I saw that we have an instance available called Ally Auto Financing in Quicken Simplifi. Have you tried using this instance?

    Thanks,

    Coach Jon

    Thanks @Coach Jon I appreciate your help and looking into this.

    Yes I have tried all instances under Ally. I suppose I will just add it in manually as a liability account for now.

    Hello @Mike Popiel,

    Thanks for your patience. We have received an update from our service provider stating that Ally Auto Financing is unsupported, so we have decided to escalate this a different way to research and confirm.

    If you could provide logs to us, this would be helpful in reporting this issue.

    1. Log into the Quicken Simplifi Web App.
    2. Select Profile from the left-hand navigation bar.
    3. With the Profile menu open, hold down the Option key for Mac or the Alt key for Windows, and then click Send Feedback.
    4. Leave all boxes checked, add a brief description of the issue, and then click Send.

    Additionally, could you please provide the name of the account as it appears on the bank's website?

    Thanks,

    Coach Jon

  • Tried all of the suggestions. This error occurs within Windows and Mac. It is very frustrating as it has been over a month and still no progress.
