Online Banking from Overseas

[John Cribb]

Having difficulties setting up Online Banking in Money98 on Win95 (4.0.95B).

I've been a Money 3.0 user since 1994 and have used Online services via
Compuserve since then. Online access is important to me as as I am an
American expatriate working and living abroad since 1991 and all my banking
is done from a US bank.

I have reasonable Internet access here in Egypt through a local ISP, but
CompuServe access must go through the UK, and is both expensive at $5.00 per
minute and very unreliable, therefore I'm interested in upgrading Money to
use my Internet connection.

I have the domestic (USA) version of Money98, so the first problem I
encountered was accessing the Internet via the 1-800 number provided to
update my bank's online services selections. (800, 900, and other free
access numbers usually cannot be dialed from overseas) Successfully worked
through this by reconfiguring the Money98 DUN selection.

Now, Money insists on changing my PIN before I can access my existing
account and it wants to make another "secure" toll free call directly to my
bank's computer to do this. This is where I'm stuck; is there a script or a
Registry setting that I can modify to disable this PIN change? And what
pitfalls await me if/when I get through this step?

Any suggestions appreciated....

Best,

John Cribb

If you have to make a call to an 800 number it might be worth while setting
up DUN to use one of the local ATT or MCI access numbers in Egypt. They
will let you access the 800 number, but you will need to have a calling card
or credit card for billing.

Richard,

Thanks for the reply and suggestion; would you have any ideas on bypassing
the 1-800 issue and dialing a non-800 number?

I'm afraid you'll have to contact your FI to see if they have an alternate
number. Unfortunately it's controlled by your bank.
