titleWhat is the name of your bank or brokerage?

If your bank or brokerage is listed on the screen, click it.

If you see what you are looking for, go ahead and click the name of your bank or brokerage. If you don't see what you are looking for, click Back and try again.

titleWhat if I can't find it in the list, or I want to enter transactions manually?

If you've tried a couple of times and you can't find your bank or brokerage in the list, or if you want to enter your transactions manually, click Advanced Setup and then choose I want to enter my transactions manually. You can always activate it to download transactions or send payments later on (if your financial institution supports bill pay).
