But FWIW I've never seen that behaviour when the auto feed has been buggering about, as it sometimes - actually far too often - does.

There is a workaround - instead of one of the preset options, choose to enter specific dates and manually enter the dates. Once you’ve downloaded your statement that way once, the since last download option will start working again.

Can't remember the details after enabling it a couple of weeks ago, but it's working faultlessly so far. The same can't be said about NW's transaction download, which has been giving a date error with the 'Since last download' option since the New Year (which is how I ended up at the direct feed...).

I'd be careful with Nat West - I think their terms means that you cold breach your account policy by giving a third party your security details.
If you go for the free FA subs with them then they want access to all your transactions for whatever purposes they see fit.
I've found their manual download to be ok recently ?
Update
ooooh. I haven't seen the new feed set up. Last time I used it there wasn't any integration like that.Last edited by radish2008; 25 January 2018, 14:38.

If you want a proper direct connection then as far as I’m aware Barclays is the only option.
Hopefully with open banking we might see some proper integration in future.

Obviously it doesn't help, as you're not going to switch bank account purely for Freeagent, but for information the Barclays feed is faultless.
It doesn't need any login credentials to work, which always seem to be flaky from my experience with MoneyDashboard, which pulls in all your bank accounts into 1 place.
Hopefully, with Open Banking, in the not too distant future all banks will be like this ?

I recently closed my Ltd's accounts with HSBC. The main reason was I couldn't stand the 2FA with that horrible little keypad thing, which made FreeAgent's bank feed a truly painful process.
Happily using Santander now.

Originally posted by vwdan View PostSod it, suspect you guys are right - I'm goign to start importing. Only thing I worry about there is duplicates - fell for that with the Credit Card (where it's much harder to see a clear balance, to be fair)
For the current account, yeah take a bit of care. Partly when switching from feed to upload, but also which part of HSBC you get it from. They have the "recent transactions" section, and the "statements" section. It seems the narrative that comes with the transaction download is very slightly different for each, sufficiently so that FreeAgent won't spot a duplicate. I'd therefore suggest:
- if you'll be doing it often (eg at least weekly), just use the recent transactions section.
- if you'll be doing it less frequently (eg monthly), just use the statements section.
If you consistently use the same type, FreeAgent should spot duplicates and only upload new transactions.
If you mix and match, do be weary of duplicates requiring manual removal.
