Updated bank account online settings

We've expanded our account linking capability

NewRetirement now uses several providers in our account linking flow. These are Plaid, MX, and Finicity. The system will assess availability and account linking success rates and match you to the highest quality connection for each of your accounts.

While there's nothing inherently wrong with this, having multiple retirement accounts at different institutions can be confusing, costly, and hard to manage. The good news is you may be able to combine some of those accounts.

The Default Account is actually called "Cash" here. Please select any other account besides the "Cash" account to replace the Default Account.

Thank you for contacting Moneydance support. Unfortunately, Fidelity no longer support Plaid.

Log in to your bank's website or mobile app and look for an option to “link external account” or “add external account.” You might then be prompted to “make a transfer” or “add a new account.” Provide information on the external account. Verify that the link was established correctly.

The average retirement savings shortfall is about $48,000 per individual. As we stated earlier, research by the Federal Reserve found that the median retirement account balance in the U.S. – looking only at those who have retirement accounts – was just $87,000 in 2023.

Having multiple IRAs can help you fine-tune your tax-minimization strategy and gain access to more investment choices and increased account insurance. Here are the pros of having multiple IRAs: Tax diversification: Different types of IRAs provide different tax breaks.

One of the biggest reasons someone might decide to have more than one IRA is to diversify their tax advantages. As we've discussed, traditional IRAs offer an upfront tax benefit, while Roth IRAs offer a tax benefit during retirement.

Yes. There are many reasons why having more than one IRA could help you better protect or grow your retirement savings. For most people, having at least two IRAs—one traditional, one Roth—will likely have more advantages than drawbacks. But in a few circ*mstances, having a single IRA could be a better choice.
