What Happened to support for Midas Funds?

Clifford Egel

I see that download support for Midas funds ended without fanfare sometime around 4/2017. I have searched with no success for information on this. Anyone have a way to resume this useful feature?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

From what you say, it's likely that Midas decided to stop supporting Quicken back in 2017. The have to pay a fee to Quicken for connectivity, as well as work with Quicken to support their mutual clients, and they may have decided not to. That's really a question you should direct to Midas support. If a financial institution decides not to support Quicken, there's nothing Quicken can do about it.

I just searched for Midas in the current Quicken Mac, and don't see it under that name.

What version of Quicken for Mac are you using?

Midas Funds will allow for correct price history downloading

Thank you for responding!
I am using Quicken Mac 2017 Version 4.8.6
The downloads worked fine until the above date, then inexplicably stopped.

Thanks. That version of Quicken is still supported to download for another few months.

You didn't note if you are having problems downloading the price histories (MIDSX or MISEX) mutual funds-those still both download correctly.

Or, do you have an account with Midas (where it acts as the financial institution) In searching for that, it doesn't appear that they currently support downloading to Quicken for Mac. If that is what you are attempting, you will have to manually enter transactions for the account.

John- Thank you for your assistance!

I note that the price histories are still downloading.

But I have the following note entered on the account:
5/9/17- Midas no longer on Quicken transaction download list. 1/17/2020: Midas still not on list. Quicken will not download transactions.

I'm not clear why the transaction download function was terminated or at which end, but it apparently happened without any notice. I wonder if any subsequent Quicken versions still have the capability.

Best regards,
Cliff
