Hi Marcus, 

This may not be the proper place to post this specific bank related issue here. But we have the issue for months now.

The issue is President's Choice Financial changed their name to Simplii Financial. Quicken added Simplii to its bank list, but did not remove President's Choice Financial from bank list. 
And this causes the trouble for us! 

Why? I guess because Simplii and President's Choice Financial is the same bank with same Quick Bank ID,

If you need more details of the issue we have, I can post some screenshots. But how about just ask one of your developers search for <INTU.BID>00024 in your bank list. I believe they will find multiple entries, and they will see what is going on.

Thanks,

Just so you know, we sent email to Intuit today to ask for this to be changed. Intuit is still our account aggregator and handles this type of stuff for us.

Quicken Marcus. I've brought this up before as a problem, and spent time on the phone with support to no avail, so this is admittedly an attempt to get attention to the issue. I have attempted to track bills from USAA (ie car insurance, car maintenance agreement, credit cards, ever since I upgraded when 2018 came out. USAA is one of the featured companies when trying to link and track scheduled bills as ebills. When I try to set up the bills, Quicken asks for my credentials (user name, password, PIN, answer to secret question) after entering them I receive the attached window. There has been no followup per the message in the window through many tries as the program has been updated, including this current update to 5.5x. These bills can be variable from month to month, so auto updating the amount due per the feature would be great.

When downloading transactions from my bank, i habitually clean up the (usually garbled) payee names to keep things uniform. I'll also check the box to "Rename all xxxx to yyyy." Since this latest update, checking the box prompts an immediate dialog confirming that i want to rename the payee. This is an annoying extra step and doesn't seem necessary. Can your product team take a look?

@Peter Frank: I'd suggest you go to Help > Report a Problem in Quicken and post your same comment there. It's sometimes iffy whether comments here get read by Quicken, but that's an avenue to make sure a comment about a specific issue like this gets seen.

After this latest update 5.5, quicken is running very slow, I get the spinning beach ball every time I change accounts or try to enter in transactions. this is very frustrating. 

I too am experiencing the spinning ball since upgrading to 5.5.x when I enter a transaction or change accounts.


Thanks to RickO's comments in a thread below, I closed down the graphs in my investment accounts portfolio view and that seems to have eliminated the spinning ball problem.

Done. Thanks for the tip.

That is good...just keep in mind that that avenue is only one-way; there is no feedback provided. It is good to use both avenues...and a third is contacting Quicken support.

Like the Update. 
I am a Canadian user, who bought the application from US site. I tried to contact Support to change my account to Canada before, but it has not been done for some reason. 
Now looks like Quicken can detect my location, and promote me to change from 401K to RRSP, etc.
Exactly what I want.

Great job and Thanks!

I think we need both! I have just (finally) migrated over from QM07, and from everything I've read I'm glad I waited. Most of the features I want are in 2018, but this one is still lacking. In QM07, your Portfolio view showed both ROI$ and % as a function of capital gains, and it showed an Income column for that security. This is very helpful in the example cited above, where some securities are income-focused and the share price will not fluctuate much, but the security has actually performed well in terms of income.  It's true that you can see that in the IRR calculations that 2018 has in the Performance report, but would still like to see an Income column for those income-focused securities.

And one possible work-around to make it work, that apparently works for QM2007 to QM2018?

Usually I would attribute something like this to placeholders or user error, but perhaps not in this case.

I am seeing the same problem in QM 5.5.3 - which was not present prior to QM 5.5.  When importing via Web Connect (.qfx file) my new stock transactions appear in the transaction view but not in the portfolio view.  Also, in the transaction view the share balance column is not updated (showing as blank for those new transactions).  At first I thought this was limited to a $0 purchase problem (see my previous post at https://getsatisfaction.com/quickencommunity/topics/quicken-for-mac-2018-v5-5-x-released?topic-reply-list[settings][filter_by]=all&topic-reply-list[settings][reply_id]=19312315#reply_19312315) but now I believe this is more general.  Last night I tried to import a series of non-$0 Reinvest, RoC and Buy transactions on the same security. The whole new series was not recognized in the portfolio view.  I corrected this by manually editing the first newly imported transaction, modifying the price slightly.  Then magically all the newly imported transactions for that security were recognized and the share balance column updated in the transaction view.  The portfolio view also updated correctly.  It seems that a new bug has crept into investment transaction importing.

Hello, I am having an issue with downloaded investments. Yesterday I bought a security and today downloaded the transaction from interactive brokers. The buy shows up correctly and reduces the cash in my account but the new security does not show up in my security list and my brokerage account value is just reduced by the cash buy and not offset with the new security. I also added to an existing security and it shows the same issue. Cash reduction but newly purchased shares do not show up in the portfolio.

What version of Quicken are you using?

I believe 5.3.3 has added back placeholders, go to the beginning of the appropriate register , the placeholder is light gray, edit the placeholder to reflect the transaction , s/b good to go

I have the same issue - with Wells Fargo Retirement Services webconnect import.  I didn't think to try the workaround above (yet), but just noticed the issue this week after upgrading to 5.5.3.  The share balance updated amount IS in the export file sent by the FI.
Update: I used "Report a Problem" from QM 5.5.3 to send this to Quicken.  Hopefully it will get some attention, since it has been reported by several folks in the past few days.

There is an actual Buy transaction. There are no placeholders. The Buy reduces the cash by the appropriate amount but the security and the associated value do not show up.

set up a buy transaction for the security, you should be able to see the security (if it downloaded) under Security..If its there just complete the transaction ..S/B ok
Let us know how it works out

There are no placeholders. A buy transaction was downloaded. Definitely a bug.

If there are no placeholder go in to the buy transaction & edit so the transaction covers all the details, security, cost, # of shrs..

Hmm, not seeing the bug (only the change in QM's behavior on the Portfolio tab with the latest release). I had several transactions on a Vanguard account today and they all came in this evening as placeholders. No problem entering the information. QM2018 5.5.3, Mac OS 10.13.3.

I find it annoying that we have lost the blue "ADD" warning on the Portfolio page. Also, it now seems that one can ONLY add the transaction through the Placeholder instead of accessing the dialog box from either tab. Anyone else who would like the old behavior back?

BTW, when looking for the Placeholders be sure that you are on Date and can see the little arrow. Earlier this week I was thrown off because this became unchecked and the Placeholders appeared in the middle of my transactions, yet all other transactions seemed to be in date order. This may be a bug. After I clicked "Date" and the arrow appeared I could find no column I could check that wouldn't affect date order in a way that was obvious.

Can I get someone from Quicken to look into this?  I just switched from QW 2015 to QM 2018 and I was afraid I would run into investment account issues. But I did not convert my investment account. I started with a fresh download because I didn't need years of windows history.

Hi Bryan, this is a users forum. I know moderators have been looking at this thread, but for personal help you should contact support and/or you should report this to Quicken directly. Under help there is a "Contact" and a "Report a Problem".

Ok, so I submitted a problem and Harold Quicken deleted it. So I don't know if anyone at Quicken is looking into this issue or if there is a different way to get support? Seems odd to just delete a problem report without acknowledging that they have received it and are looking into it?

Bryan, sorry for confusion. I deleted the part of my response where I said I saw the bug. I thought I deleted it fast enough but obviously not. I realized it was user error-- I was looking for the security in the wrong account (oops!).

smayer97, that temporary work around works. I had a number of downloads so I just changed the stock, hit save, then changed it back to the original stock and hit save. Then it shows up in the portfolio list. I hope this gets fixed in the next release.  Thanks for the link!

Here is small request for improvement, the Categories window is missing a search bar. I often find myself looking for a particular category, for example to find out if there is any duplicate, and this is quite tedious without a search field.

Such a search bar exists already for Payee, Tags, Actions, Securities, but not for Categories.
