Why am I receiving a message about my Navy Federal Credit Union accounts?

Overview

You may have received an email or in-product message regarding some changes coming to your Navy Federal accounts in Quicken. 

What is happening?

Navy Federal is discontinuing Express Web Connect and updating to a new method of providing data to applications like Quicken, called EWC+ (Quicken Connect in Mac). Going forward, you'll use a bank-hosted sign-in form to authorize downloads. The overall process for adding accounts and downloading is the same, but the screen you use to sign in to Navy Federal will look different.

For your security, Navy Federal may periodically request that you reauthorize your accounts in Quicken by signing in again. This may happen every 90 days or so.  

What does this mean for me?

Right now, you don't have to do anything. When it is time to migrate your accounts to EWC+, you'll be prompted to authorize your accounts–just enter your Navy Federal username and password, check the box next to each of your accounts, and then authorize the access. Make sure all of your accounts are checked, even if they're already added to Quicken. This change will impact all Navy Federal Express Web Connect accounts. It will not impact Direct Connect accounts at this time.
