Adding Halifax to Egg Money Manager

fresh_start

I'm trying to add my Halifax Account to EMM, without success!

Egg asks for the following :

User Name
Password
Name Of First School
Place/Town of Birth
Mothers First Name
Fathers First Name

Whilst Halifax asks for

User Name
Password
Memorable Information (Random characters from a drop down menu)



Thats the bit I am struggling with, cant find anywhere with EMM to enter the Memorable Information bit.............

What am I doing wrong...........??!?!??

Thanks

Strange, my Halifax asks for the same as what Egg is saying in your post.

How long have you had your Halifax internet banking account for? Could it be that you have had it for a long time and set it up when all they wanted was some memorable info?

i only joined and set it up this week, havent got my debt card through yet, maybe something to do with it ?

Halifax online banking does not ask for random characters from a drop down menu, the log-in is

username

password

and then second stage is they will ask for a memorable piece of information (one of the following)

Name Of First School
Place/Town of Birth
Mothers First Name
Fathers First Name

To change your memorable information you need to contact telephone banking.

The others are right; as is Egg. Halifax doesn't ask for random characters. Are you sure you aren't confusing it with a different bank? If not, have you accessed a fake Halifax website by mistake?

I'm too having problem adding my Halifax Account to EMM. It seem to take all security information, and goes on to say its connecting but it dose not connect at all.

Thats not a problem with just adding. I haven't been able to connect to Halifax from egg for the past week or so.

What is the matter with egg MM? It won't even let me add/amed/or view my individual accounts. When i press it goes back to log in process.

Halifax FIXED. I see Egg has fixed the new Halifax 2 page logon process. Never known them sort something out this quick.

As far as I am aware using sites like egg money manager means that if your account is accessed fraudulently then the bank will not refund you. I may be wrong but it would certainly be worth finding out.

that would certainly be the official line because you've given all of your (supposedly) personal details out to a third party.

however whether or not they could prove it, unless you volunteer this information, is another matter entirely
