What is Quicken?
Quicken is a personal finance management (PFM) tool developed by Intuit, Inc. which runs on Windows and Macintosh systems. Quicken software allows you to track loans, mortgages, investments, credit cards, savings and your day to day bank accounts. It can help you forecast how much money you may have in the future, or show you how much you have now. It will allow you to plan your spending with a budget and track where your money is going.
What version of Quicken supports the download service?
Any one of the three most recent versions of Quicken, since each April 30th of each year Quicken discontinues its support for any of its versions more than 2 years old.
What is Direct Connect?
Direct Connect is a free service that Corebridge offers which allows you to download account information from your account to your personal financial management software in one step without accessing your Corebridge account.
How do I download my Corebridge account information to Quicken?
Open your Quicken application and select the option to add an account. You will follow the prompts from Quicken.
- Quicken will request a financial institution be selected. Locate and select Corebridge from the list of financial institutions.
Provide your Corebridge user ID and password when you are prompted.
Once the connection is completed each account will present a screen with questions that you will need to answer to continue. All the accounts that were selected to be included in the download will be displayed. A flag will be located next to each account. Each account will need to be selected and the transactions reviewed. Once the transactions have been updated they will be displayed (this will need to be done for each account that was downloaded). NOTE: Quicken only downloads 90 days of individual transaction detail; the totals will be downloaded.
Why doesn't my account balance in my PFM software match my account balance on Corebridge?
Corebridge includes investment price information with its transaction download; however, some Personal Financial Management software applications override the investment price information provided by Corebridge with the investment price information they retrieve from other sources. Therefore, Corebridge can not guarantee the accuracy of investment price information downloaded through Personal Financial Management software.
What happens if I am unable to download my Corebridge account information?
Contact the Client Care Center at 1-800-448-2542 and a Customer Care Professional will submit a request to determine if Corebridge can assist or if you need to contact Quicken customer service.
