FDP-106 Error With Merrill Edge (edited)

I'm getting an FDP-106 error with my Merrill Edge accounts. I've tried Merrill Edge and ML options and neither work. My credentials work fine directly on the site.

It worked fine a couple days ago, now it won't reconnect if you attempt to reset the connection or even attempting to connect new.

    @Rob & Kim Robinson, thanks for posting to the Community regarding this issue!

    Since it sounds like the FDP-106 error is occurring with existing accounts in Quicken Simplifi, I'd suggest performing the following steps to establish a completely fresh connection with Merrill Edge:

    1. Make all of the accounts with this bank manual by following the steps here.
    2. Once you see the account(s) listed in the Manual Accounts section under Settings > Accounts, go back through the Add Account flow to reconnect to the bank.
    3. Carefully link the account(s) found to your existing Quicken Simplifi account(s) by following the steps here.

    Please let us know how it goes!

    @jveez, thanks for giving those steps a try and letting us know!

    We will need the following data for your case to be reviewed for escalation:

    1. The name of the account, as it appears in Quicken Simplifi.
    2. The name of the account, as it appears on the bank's website.
    3. What type of account are you attempting to connect?
    4. Has there been any changes made to the bank's website or the sign-in process recently?
    5. Has there been any activity in the account in the last 90 days?
    6. 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).

  • I too have done those steps and it doesn't work. I appreciate the response on this forum, but I have no interest in providing all that information. Quicken needs to figure out and fix this buggy software. My Merrill accounts update fine through personal capitals website (Empower) and of course I can login direct to the website using the same credentials.

    To be clear, I've attemped to refresh the connection and I've attempted a completely new connection through ML and through Merrill edge. None of those work - you get the same error message - all of that started this past week. I don't see why this would work previously and now suddenly stop working…Unless…regarding your point 4..

    4. Has there been any changes made to the bank's website or the sign-in process recently?


    I do know that Bank of America just refreshed and did a major update on their android app where they are combining BOA and Merrill into a single app. I don't know if that would have any impact on aggregation access. To that end, I also tried BOA directly to see if Merrill was combined through that access point, and those accounts were not shown, although my BOA was showing as expected. The direct login to Merrill hasn't changed nor has the primary web login (just the app that now aggregates BOA and Merrill)

  • Additional info: the portfolio value is updated and correct, but the balances value (and subsequent net worth report) and transactions are not updated.

    I am also getting this same FDP-106 error, which began about 1 week ago. Merrill Edge was connecting with no problems before that. I have deleted the account, re added it, still getting FDP-106 error.

    I also followed the instruction left by Coach Natalie Administrator, Moderator admin, I made the Merrill Edge account manual then tried to reconnect. Still getting error FDP-106.

    @KKell, thanks for posting on this topic!

    If you've followed the troubleshooting steps to no avail, we'd love to get your case escalated. To do so, we need the following data:

    1. The name of the account, as it appears in Quicken Simplifi.
    2. The name of the account, as it appears on the bank's website.
    3. What type of account are you attempting to connect?
    4. Has there been any changes made to the bank's website or the sign-in process recently?

  • I'm writing to echo the same concerns raised about the sudden issues with Merrill Edge.

    I've tried all the troubleshooting tips without success, and have even deleted the accounts (including transactions) from Simplifi. I'm now
    unable to add them with the same FDP-106 message.

    The error message is: "This usually happens if an account nickname or number has changed at your bank. To fix you must reconnect your account. Care Code: FDP-106"

    My account nickname and number did not change, and this is not relevant anyway since I am starting over by adding the accounts as new.

    I hope you can pass on this feedback to the team and work with Merrill Edge to determine why so many of your customers are unable to connect since late March.

    @UsYUv83DsZ3VTSGgoULI, thanks for posting on this topic, although I'm sorry to hear that you're also experiencing this issue with Merrill Edge in Quicken Simplifi.

    As mentioned above, if you've followed all of the troubleshooting steps and they did not resolve the issue for you, we need some additional data for an escalation as follows:

    1. The name of the account, as it appears in Quicken Simplifi.
    2. The name of the account, as it appears on the bank's website.
    3. What type of account are you attempting to connect?
    4. Has there been any changes made to the bank's website or the sign-in process recently?
    5. Has there been any activity in the account in the last 90 days?
    6. 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 your reply!

  • I tried reconnecting through ML selection option versus Merrilledge - It appeared to connect the accounts, showed the accounts with the correct balances in the connection screen where you select/check the accounts to import, but once it imported all the accounts had zero balances. Strange to me, especially since it was showing the balances in the import select menu when confirming the import.

    Same problem - trouble shooting does not work.

    The request to send a screenshot of my bank account, with all accounts is unreasonable, not only time consuming as redactions are needed throughout. This is a sudden problem. I would request that Simplifi research and fix issue which is impacting multiple users, and that the onus is not put on the paying customer to provide such detailed info to escalate the Simplifi connection issue.

  • Merrill updated today, tried again with closing, then reimporting and it worked. Had to update the accounts names when importing and setting them up so they didn't match the previous names. Will see if this fragile connection holds over time.

    Coach Natalie, is there any update on the Merrill Edge connectivity. My accounts were working fine, then one day they stopped. It's been months since I was able to connect Merrill edge to Simplifi. Getting error code 102. What's going on?

  • Coach Natalie
    Coach Natalie Administrator, Moderator admin

    @KKell, thanks for reaching back out!

    It doesn't look like anything happened with this issue, as no one responded with the required info to get it escalated. With that, if you're still receiving the FDP-106 error with Merrill Edge, please see my comment here for the info we need for an escalation:

    We look forward to your reply!

    Error 106 is now error FDP-102. Still can't connect Merrill Edge. It's been months. *Sigh

    Where are we supposed to send the info to get it escalated?

  • Coach Natalie
    Coach Natalie Administrator, Moderator admin

    @KKell, thanks for the update!

    We can escalate the FDP-102 error with just this piece of data:

    • The name of the account receiving the error, as it appears in Quicken Simplifi.

    Please also submit your logs via the 'Send Feedback' option:

    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.

    We look forward to your reply!

    I get a FDP-106 error when trying to connect my Merrill Lynch account for the first time. It has never been connected to my Quicken Simplifi account before. In this case the provided troubleshooting and escalating my case info are not relevant. What should I do in my case? Thank you

  • Coach Natalie
    Coach Natalie Administrator, Moderator admin

    @ODValve, thanks for posting on this topic!

    If you're receiving an FDP-106 error when connecting to Merrill Edge for the first time, please provide the following data for an escalation:

    1. The name of the account, as it appears on the bank's website.
    2. What type of account are you attempting to connect?
    3. Has there been any changes made to the bank's website or the sign-in process recently?
    4. Has there been any activity in the account in the last 90 days?
    5. 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).

    If the issue is occurring with Merrill Lynch instead, please go ahead and create a separate post so the issue can be looked at separately from the Merrill Edge issue this thread is for.

    We look forward to hearing from you!
