Aggregation software/sites - First Direct

GreenieP3

I've been using First Direct's website to access all my accounts - Without having to hold an account with them. Worked fine for some years. This morning they seem to have changed the access to policy holders only! Anyone else having the same trouble?

Given that FD is now effectively dead, what are the top recommendations for sites that let you log into all your accounts via one password - And without having to hold an account with them!?

I looked into this a while ago and the most recommended appears to be budgeting app Money Dashboard.

The software used by First Direct is provided by ewise and you can use the native version for free. https://www.ewise.com.au/accunity/aa/home.asp?

Quick update:

Most embarrasing! Seems FD have just changed the format of their web, service is still open to all - Just hidden!

If it makes you feel any better I had the same issue. In fact, I'm sure I tried to log-in but couldn't!

Working now though....

Is there a android app or a mobile browser for ewise accountunity?

Allegedly there is but not yet available for the UK, and no firm date for the UK implementation either

The latest update of W10 removes Internet explorer which is required for FD Internet banking plus. Is there an alternative that will run on W10 without IE?

ETA: Found IE11 - it is not removed, just hidden

Does Moneydashboard work with ALL bank accounts ??
I have used First Direct Plus for a number of years now but it has become a bit of a pain lately.
I cannot get First Direct to put Goldman Sachs Marcus account on the system.
Internet Explorer is also a nuisance for me.

No. The overall range of supported accounts is pretty good, but it doesn't currently support Marcus.

However, you can add 'other' accounts which have to be updated manually, but otherwise contribute to the various dashboards. I have Marcus added that way. I have very few transactions in and out of my Marcus account, so it's very little effort.

this is not the place for referrals, there is a separate board for that.
