Q. How do I set up my accounts at Florida Telco in Microsoft Money?

A. Follow these steps. Please refer to Money's Help for more detailed information.

1. Open your Microsoft Money program. Click on the word "Tool" then click on "Update Internet Information". This will update your copy of Microsoft Money software with Florida Telco CU's online services.

2. Now click on the word "Accounts", then "Set up Accounts", and finally "Add a new account".

3. In the "This Account is Held at" box, type "Florida Telco" and click Next.

4. On the next screen it should select "Florida Telco CU" so just click Next.

5. On the next screen it asks "Did Florida Telco give you online signup information?". Click "Yes" and then click the Next button.

6. At the "User ID" and "Password" prompts input your "Account Number" and "PIN" used for Private PC. Click the Next button.

7. Money will then prompt you with a suggested name for the account, for example "Florida Telco share draft". If you only have one savings or share draft account, you can use the suggested name. If you have several savings and share draft accounts, it is suggested that you add the suffix number to the end of the name. For example, "Florida Telco share draft-2". Your accounts can be renamed at a later time. Now click Next.

8. On the Online Set up screen finally click the Finish button.

Q. I noticed you can pay bills through Microsoft® Money. Is this the same Billpayer service as in Private PC?

A. No. Microsoft® Money uses a national independent bill payment service (third party such as Transpoint or Check Free). The billpayer service in Private PC DOES NOT integrate with Microsoft Money. If you choose to use Microsoft Money's Bill Payment service, please be aware of their independent associated charges. Additionally, any problems encountered with this service would need to be handled by Microsoft Money's bill payment service and not Florida Telco CU.
