MS Money Converter Coming Soon
We announced in June that displaced MS Money customers would have a new home with Quicken. Thank you for your patience as we continue finalizing the converter. While you can transfer some transactional data between Money and Quicken now, it isn’t the easiest solution. We’re going to provide you with an easier solution in the coming weeks. Working with Microsoft, we created a converter that will help MS Money 2007 and 2008 customers convert to Quicken 2009 or 2010 within just a few minutes. Read More »
Open Letter to MS Money Customers
Microsoft Money Customers:
Yesterday Microsoft announced it will discontinue Microsoft Money as of June 30, 2009.
Money customers now need to decide what to do with years of Money data. This information is the lifeblood of your financial life and is incredibly valuable for you and your family.
The Quicken team is here to help.
We’re working closely with Microsoft to develop an easy way for Money users to transfer data into Quicken desktop products. We’re assessing how we can make this capability a reality in conjunction with the release of Quicken 2010 in the fall.
I want to assure you that Quicken remains committed to helping people manage their money so they can spend smarter and save more. We will continually improve our desktop products and offer free online money management with Quicken Online.
Quicken has been the leader in personal finance software for more than 25 years and we’re so pleased to welcome Money customers into the Quicken family. If you’ve never tried Quicken before, we know you’ll enjoy the ease, depth and functionality of our desktop products. If you used Quicken and switched to Money, we want you back!
Stay tuned for more news on how Quicken will help MS Money customers migrate their data to Quicken.
Thanks,
Todd Stanley
Vice-President/General Manager Quicken
Introducing Our First iPhone App: Quicken Online Mobile
UPDATE: Quicken Online Mobile now works with the iPod touch v1 (1st gen) and is available for download in Canada. Thanks to our users for helping us improve so quickly!
Today, Quicken Online customers now have a new powerful and easy to use tool for finding out what they have till their next paycheck on the run: Quicken Online Mobile.
We’ve listened to our customers who told us overwhelmingly that they need help on the go – an easy way to know where they stand so they can spend smarter. After all, you need help the most when you’re out and about and wondering if you can join your friend for dinner or if you’ll have enough cash over the next week to pay your bills and get away for the weekend. Take a look:
See how Jane uses the app on the go.
This is what separates Quicken Online and Quicken Online Mobile from the rest of personal finance websites and mobile applications – we help you look forward, not backward. Like a pair of financial binoculars – not a rearview mirror – Quicken Online Mobile for the iPhone™ and iPod Touch™ helps you:
- Save cash when you need cash: Using the iPhone’s GPS feature, you’ll be able to locate your own bank’s ATMs no matter where you are.
Get a forward-looking view of your money: See what bills and other financial obligations are coming up before your next paycheck.
Track transactions on the go: Enter that rent check before it clears or keep track of where that $50 from the ATM really went by categorizing it on-the-go.
For over 25 years, Quicken has been the leader in personal finance. We’ve been in that position thanks to customers like you who take the time to give us honest, direct and unfiltered feedback. You lead us to develop the applications and products you want to use. Quicken Online Mobile is another example of Quicken being guided by its customers to help you get on top of your money.
So keep the ideas and feedback coming. Let us know what you think of the app. Leave us comments here, or find us on Twitter: @QuickenOnline, @BarronErnst, @QuickenJim, @QuickenChels, @PRGully and @QuickenTodd. If you don’t already have a free Quicken Online account to use with Quicken Online Mobile (the two work together), sign-up in about five minutes before you download Quicken Online Mobile.
Thanks for stopping by,
Todd Stanley, Vice President/General Manager of Quicken
