Setting Up Remote Internet Access to Your Accounts


Quicken offers a feature that allows you to access account and portfolio information (that is available for online access in Quicken) from anywhere that you have an Internet connection. For example, if you are on vacation, traveling for your job, or just away from your computer, you can tell Quicken to send your account information to Quicken.com. From that website, you can access your accounts, get updated portfolio share information, and so on. It's a way to manage your accounts and portfolio information when you are away from home.
