I have a Fidelity Cash Management account on Quicken on Web or Mobile doesn't show under checking.

:/ I have a Cash Management account that shows fine on my Quicken desktop app, however doesn't show in Bank/Checking accounts when logging into Quicken Mobile/Web. This is a linked cash account on the desktop app. Is there a way to have this show on the mobile/app?

    I'm a Fidelity customer also, and, likewise, I have a CMA with them.
    SO, the issue becomes how do you have that account set up in Q?
    It should be a taxable brokerage account with the "Show Cash in A checking account" button used when you do TOOLS, Account List, and click EDIT adjacent to your Fidelity brokerage account.
    Since Fidelity isn't a bank, they can't legally offer "checking accounts".  So what that "Linked Checking Account" really is is the Money Market fund that's the cash portion/transactions of your brokerage account.

    Interesting - my Schwab accounts both have their corresponding "cash" linked accounts, always have, but never really thought too much about it -
    just can't "reconcile"  the linked account -

    @ps56k, WHY can't you reconcile that account?  It functions exactly like any other checking account ... and I reconcile mine every month.

    oops - sorry - meant the other side... the Investment parent -
    The only other issue, is that the cash account doesn't have the "online balance" for the Reconcile to work with.... only the Register "ending balance"
    so it's a manual Reconcile ...

    Hi - I do sync the Fidelity accounts to mobile. The problem is the Cash account shows up as zero under investing and the linked account doesn’t show under the banking/credit accounts.

    I essentially have to go to the desktop app to see the linked cash account, I can’t see it in Mobile or Web app.

    I do manually reconcile to statements for the cash account.

    I have a similar issue where I am using Quicken for Mac and I don't seem to have the option to "Show Cash in a Brokerage Account". Issue is that none of my checking transactions show up in my reports and I am unable to move the account to checking. Any comments are appreciated.
