Do you know why Fidelity Investments plaid connection doesn’t work most of the time?

It’s something I hit often and have to do the old microdeposit thing (if I can even figure out how to trick the service into allowing me to do that at all).

Does fidelity just have some sort of broken setup?

Not sure when you were testing, but we do call out some instability on the Fidelity Institution Status page in the Developer Dashboard.

> To maintain system stability, Fidelity currently limits access during high-volume windows. As a result, please expect unavailability between 9-10:30am and 3-4:30pm ET. We recommend end users link Fidelity accounts between 5pm - 9am ET.

This is a huge annoyance with integrations for me.

The host knows when they break. Or if they don't, they should, via automated tests.

Tell me "It's down." Not some bullshit about experiencing temporary difficulties.

Great question. I do not know off the top of my head, but can look into it.

We're (https://realizefi.com/) currently rolling out our Fidelity integration which will allow you to link accounts at any time.
