Can't connect to Ellevest/Folio FDP-176 error (edited)
I am unable to add my Ellevest accounts, which are accessed via Folio Client: www.folioclient.com.
I've had poor support experiences when trying to get Simplifi to help me out…they're claiming Folio Client has blocked access, but I've linked up these exact accounts to Mint (RIP) and other services without issue.
The error code Simplifi displays when attempting to connect Folio is Care Code: FDP-176, which seems to appear in other support requests on this forum, and Simplifi has helped resolve the problem, which is why I'm puzzled to hear Simplifi support claim they are blocked.

@MakeEllevestWork, thanks for posting to the Community!
To clarify, are you referring to Ellevest with a URL of ellevest.com like this thread refers to?
Or are you attempting to connect to one of the Folio options listed in Quicken Simplifi? If the latter, it doesn't appear that the URLs displayed in Quicken Simplifi for Folio pull up the same site that you provided above. To clarify, can you click on the URL links for any of these options listed in Quicken Simplifi and then sign into your account on the new tab that opens to the bank's website?
To be clear, the URL link is available here for each bank option:

@Coach Natalie I'm in the same boat as OP. For clarity, Ellevest runs off of Folio Investing as a backend! So ellevest.com is essentially the user-facing dashboard, but all the financials are occurring on Folio Investing.
A few weeks ago, I had no luck connecting Folio—then maybe a week and a half ago it looked like I got partial connection with login going through, but no accounts effectively connecting

@Coach Natalie When clicking the 'try again' button, no window asking for login credentials appears! Likewise, on the menu from the ellipsis there's a 'Fix error' option—clicking this does the same (button disappears, loading spinner comes up, error state reappears)

@meganelizabeth, I apologize for the confusion!
What I'd like for you to do is click on the URL displayed for Folio Investing in Quicken Simplifi to see if you can sign into the new tab that opens to the bank's website. Let's go ahead and have you follow these steps, please:
- Delete the Folio Investing connection in Quicken Simplifi by following the steps here.
- Go back through the Add Account flow and select Folio Investing.
- Before entering your login credentials, click the URL displayed below the bank name.
- A new tab will open to the bank's website; attempt to sign in using your Ellevest credentials.
Let us know how it goes!

@Coach Natalie Is there a way to do this without losing historical (mint) data linked to that account? That's my principal concern in deleting + reconnecting!

@meganelizabeth, thanks for clarifying that the account is not an empty account due to importing from Mint! No, we don't want you to delete the account if it has historical data, as you will lose the data.
Instead, please make the account manual by following the steps here, as this will completely disconnect the account from the bank and place it in the 'Manual Accounts' section so it will be kept separate and intact as we troubleshoot. You'd then want to look for any lingering "Folio Investing" financial institution listed under Settings > Accounts and delete it by starting at Step 1 of my comment above (see here).
Let us know how it goes!

@Coach Natalie Thanks! Tried resetting connection and got this notification: "We are unable to connect to Folio Investing at this time.
Care Code: FDP-176"0 -
Thank you for your reply,
To clarify, there is a difference between resetting the connection and the directions in @Coach Natalie's post from 15 April. Did you follow the directions in that post (quoted below)?
Thank you!

@Coach Kristina I did!
Moved those accounts to manual, deleted Folio, and attempted reconnecting.
Although, now getting this notification rather than unable to connect messaging:
Folio is now showing up again in my accounts page, but with no accounts actually displaying beneath it.

@meganelizabeth, thanks for giving those steps a try and posting back!
Were you ever able to click on the URL displayed for Folio in Quicken Simplifi to see if you can sign into the bank's website on the new page that opens? This can be done by:
- Select the Add Account button in Quicken Simplifi.
- Type "folio" into the search bar and then select 'Folio Investing'.
- Click "Continue".
- Click on the URL displayed at the top under the words "Folio Investing" (you do not need to enter your credentials here).
- In the new tab that opens for the bank's website click "Log In".
- Sign in using the same username and password you're using when attempting to connect the account in Quicken Simplifi.
Let us know how it goes!

Yes, I can log in when clicking through that URL!
Though clicking through, the folioinvesting.com link redirects to —could an updated login URL on the bank's side be the source of the issue? Also, getting Care Code: FDP-176 again if that's useful info!

@meganelizabeth, thanks for confirming!
Since you are able to sign into the bank's website from the URL in Quicken Simplifi, I'd say you should be able to connect the account in Quicken Simplifi using that option. With that, we will need to look at getting the FDP-176 error escalated. To do so, please provide the following data:
- The name of the account, as it appears on the bank's website.
- What type of account are you attempting to connect?
- Has there been any changes made to the bank's website or the sign-in process recently?
- Has there been any activity in the account in the last 90 days?
- A screenshot of the Accounts Summary page from the bank's website that lists all accounts and balances (feel free to redact any personal info) and has a wide enough scope to show the page URL (this must be taken from a web browser and not a mobile browser).
We look forward to working with you to resolve this!

Sure thing! Where should I send this info, rather than posting publicly?
0 -
@meganelizabeth, you can DM the private info to me here in the Community, and we'd then bring things back to this main thread. If you prefer a private support experience in general, our Chat and Phone Support team is also happy to help.
Thanks!

@Coach Natalie Confirming I just sent those through DM!

@meganelizabeth, thanks for the DM!
When viewing your screenshots, it doesn't appear that we have number 5 from you. To clarify, we need a screenshot of the page you see after signing into the bank's website. This needs to be done on a computer web browser, and we need to see the full page URL in the URL bar at the top. You can redact any private info, such as account numbers, balances, etc.
I will keep an eye out for another DM from you with this data!

@meganelizabeth, thanks so much!
One more little snag — when viewing your connection attempts from our end, the latest one didn't result in the FDP-176 error. Were you able to add the account? Can you give it another try and let me know how it goes, please?

@Coach Natalie Sure! Just tried re-connecting again and it threw the same care code:
I've noticed it either does this, or it will connect—though saying 'all accounts are already added' while displaying none.

@meganelizabeth, thank you!
I went ahead and got the FDP-176 error escalated and will post back as updates are received.

@meganelizabeth, thank you for your patience!
I'm afraid I don't have good news for you. The escalation came back and it looks like the Ellevest account is considered an external account and is not supported through the Folio Investing option in Quicken Simplifi.
At this point, I'd suggest creating a Missing Financial Institution Request for Ellevest here in the Community so other users are able to follow along with it. Otherwise, I can confirm that Ellevest has been requested, but I'm not sure if or when we'll be able to add it.
Sorry for not having better news!
