Express Web Connect updates nightly

Question

I wanted to upate my Credit Union accounts in the afternoon, but it would not update. I found a community answer that did not help. Hower —-

I see that "Express Web Connect updates nightly" (automatically). Does this mean that an Express Web Connect account cannot be updated during the business day, or immediately after the banking business day ends?

You can run OSU to update your accounts as often as you wish,  You should connect OK, but would say "Account Updated, 0 new transactions".

In your case, it should have gotten transactions from the day(s) before assuming there were new ones.  Are you getting an error?

I don't know when Quicken runs the updates.  I generally run mine in the early AM (while checking email and such) so it gets all posted/pending transactions from the day before.

The EWC connections have their information retrieved and stored on the aggregator's server during nightly runs for later pickup by you using Quicken.

The EWC aggregation only happens once every 24 hours, so at best you will get yesterday's transactions, not today's transactions.
