Monitoring - IMPORTANT: Morningstar ByAllAccounts Open Banking API Migration

Orion’s account aggregation partner, Morningstar ByAllAccounts, is upgrading its systems to embrace the benefits of "Open Banking" - a more secure way to give advisors access to their clients’ financial data.

ByAllAccounts recently completed migrations for the institutions listed below. This migration will require advisors and/or their clients to re-authorize access to the data leveraging the new Open Banking connection.

- Allianz, Bank of America, Chase, Schwab, Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank, Empower, Fidelity, PNC, Voya, Transamerica


ACTION NEEDED:

Users with ByAll accounts at the institutions listed above will need to reauthenticate their credentials and consent to aggregation. You may also add new accounts for aggregation. To assist you, ByAllAccounts has provided step by step guides for advisors and consumers/clients/investors.

Dear Valued Client,

After the AWS migration for Morningstar ByAllAccounts, we observed specific Custodial Integrator data delivery, performance-related issues, and financial institution connectivity issues.

Update as of November 27:
·       Financial Institution Connectivity: We are experiencing financial institution connectivity issues, resolving these issues is a high priority for our team. A comprehensive list of affected financial institutions and their status of resolution is attached in the FAQ referenced below.
·       Custodial Integrator Data Delivery: The primary challenge is the completion of concurrent Custodial Integrator data deliveries during the peak traffic hours of 6:00 am to 10:00 am. This results in an amount of traffic that affects the success rate and running time of data deliveries. We have communicated individually to customers with large imports to stagger runs and working with them to run their data delivery. As expected, implementing staggered data imports has helped to stabilize the system, we expect that this process will continue through Tuesday, November 28. We expect regular import schedule to go back into effect on Wednesday, November 29.
·       AccountView Performance: Regarding AccountView, we deployed fixes over the weekend to address performance issues experienced last week. We are currently requesting feedback from customers to ensure it has addressed the performance issues. A limited applicable number of customers were having issues accessing AccountView using Login-based Single Sign-on via Data Connect. A fix was deployed on the night of Wednesday, November 22, we have since monitored activity and confirmed the issue is resolved.

Our team continues to monitor our system's capacity, uptime, and performance to ensure seamless operations.

Please see our FAQ for specific details on user action and account update error messaging. 

We appreciate your patience as we work through these unanticipated migration-related issues. As we continue to work to resolve these issues for you, we will provide our next status update tomorrow.

Update - Good afternoon,

We wanted to make you aware that the ByAll issues we have been updating you on are not yet fully resolved, although there has been significant progress made.

ByAll has resolved the data file delivery and we do not anticipate delays going forward.

The most notable outstanding issue is related to AccountView access, specifically using login-based Single Sign-on via Data Connect. A limited number of customers are still experiencing access issues. A fix is currently in process and is expected to be resolved with the next two business days.

ByAll is continuing to make progress and is seeing performance improvements; they will be providing us with further updates as available. Please see the message below with the current update from ByAll.
