Fidelity download issue with HSA account

jthullen · October 19

I have several accounts at Fidelity and suddenly in the last couple of weeks, the HSA account no longer downloads any transactions. Brokerage and retirement seem to be fine, just the HSA. No errors in Quicken, it connects and say 0 transactions downloaded. But there are transactions that have cleared and completed processing in the Fidelity account that SHOULD be getting downloaded and simply are not. Anyone else seeing this behavior? I see alot of posts about errors when downloading from Fidelity, but this is different. No errors, it's more like Quicken is just not detecting posted transactions for this one type of account.

What is Quicken doing to fix the issue? I have continuous issues with Quicken not downloading my Fidelity account information correctly over the past 2-3 months. This Fidelity HSA issue is just another one to add to the list.

I have the same issue. As of now only my HSA account from fidelity doesn't download any transactions. No errors at all just no transactions. I have tried resetting my account and nothing. My other Fidelity accounts download fine. What is quicken doing to fix this?

Hello @bdg0296,

Thank you for adding to this discussion and posing this question.

As far as I am aware, currently, there is no indication from Fidelity that they plan to change the way these HSA accounts are handled.

The issue is with how the information is sent to us from Fidelity. Fidelity does not send transaction descriptions for these accounts. Because a transaction description is a required field, these transactions cannot be processed. Fidelity is aware and, at this time, has not provided any information or dates on whether they plan on changing this or not.

In the meantime, we recommend that you manually update balances for your Fidelity HSA accounts in Quicken. You can also bookmark the Announcement to be notified of any changes.

Hope this helps.

I continue to have the same issue for the past several months. Why is Quicken not addressing this directly with Fidelity? Manually entering data is an unacceptable solution. The only reason I use Quicken is to bring ALL of my finances together each week. If problems exist, I expect Quicken to step in and resolve as part of my paid subscription. Please escalate priority on resolving this issue.

Hello @Scott413,

Thank you for adding to this discussion, though I am sorry that you are having to manually add transactions.

Quicken and Fidelity are both aware of this issue. Please bookmark the Announcement to stay updated on any changes/developments as they occur.

Thank you.

Is there an estimated ETA on when this issue will be fixed on Fidelity's side?

No, unfortunately, we do not have an ETA or any update from Fidelity that they plan to change the way these accounts are handled at this time.

Please bookmark the Announcement to be notified if any change occurs in this situation.

Thanks again!

The Community Announcement makes this issue sound benign (Kristina) says "you will just have to update your cash balances manually". Oh gee if this were only the case. I just spent over an hour redeeming a CD and 6 other corporate spinoff transactions all done manually. I'm almost certain I am screwing up my HSA accounts data. The longer this goes on the harder it will be to sort out. How long is this going to go on? Do we need to consider rolling to another Investment account provider? other than Fidelity? Also no updates in over a month? Quicken is not inexpensive - we should hear if any progress is being made (or not) so we can make decisions ourselves. Paying customers being left in the dark for extended periods with no progress reports is assinine

Hello @jljeeper,

Thank you for adding to this discussion, though I am sorry for the inconvenience this issue has caused.

I think my post above answers most of the questions that you are asking.

Whether or not you should move your account to a different institution is not something I can advise you on. I can say, Fidelity has not shared any intentions on changing/fixing this, at this time.

The announcement has not been updated because we have not received any update/indication of change from Fidelity. I am sorry if you feel you have been left in the dark. We have provided all of the information that we have available to us.

I hope this helps!

Hi Alyssa, In your previous posts you have explained that Fidelity is not providing a transaction description and therefore Quicken is unable to process these transactions. These transactions were being processed by Quicken prior to Oct 1, 2025 in my case. Can you explain to us if Fidelity was providing transaction descriptions prior to Oct 1st, and how Quicken was able to processes these transaction prior to Oct 1, 2025? Thank you.

Hello @Robin,

Can you explain to us if Fidelity was providing transaction descriptions prior to Oct 1st, and how Quicken was able to processes these transaction prior to Oct 1, 2025?

To clarify, this is a longstanding issue with Fidelity's Express Web Connect (EWC) connection with Quicken. The transaction data was not being sent on the EWC connection before 1 October, but most people weren't impacted by it because they were using the Direct Connect connection.

I hope this helps!

@Quicken Kristina Other users and I have observed that downloads for Fidelity HSA accounts worked but with some incorrect and duplicate transactions shortly after converting to the EWC+ connection at the end of September. After an OSU on 10/4, my HSA account showed a red flag but no new transactions. The Online Center for the HSA account showed an ETF dividend and a Buy of the money market fund. I was able to flush these transactions out by enabling Auto accept.

Since then I have received no new HSA transactions, but the share balances are updating correctly.

It appears that this issue is not entirely caused by the EWC+ conversion. Something changed in October that stopped the transactions from being downloaded.

Robin · December 22

Hi Kristina, thank you for clarifying that this problem arrived with Express Web Connect. Was Fidelity providing transaction descriptions with Direct Connect and simply stopped with EWC? Or was Quicken able to download these transactions without descriptions when using Direct Connect, but is unable to process the similar data in EWC? If we have a better understanding of what data changed, we may be able to exert some influence with Fidelity.

Jim_Harman · December 22

@Robin

My experience was that Fidelity HSA accounts worked flawlessly with Direct connect and as I said above they downloaded transactions via EWC+ for a short time after the EWC+ conversion, then stopped working in early October.
