National Financial Services (NFS) - FTP Access
FI ID: 112181
Onboarding Instructions
Feed access pre-requisitesThis feed service is for National Financial Services (NFS) Broker Dealers and Advisors that trade under broker dealers and it is prepared for Morningstar ByAllAccounts to obtain account information. Advisors must have a registered relationship with NFS either directly or through a broker dealer. The broker dealer is required to complete a Third-Party Transmission Request to release the requested files to ByAllAccounts.
Step 1: Log onto Fidelity Wealthscape website and go to the Fidelity Integration Xchange under Resources.
Step 2: Request a third-party data transmission to ByAllAccounts by updating your firm's outbound transmission rules.
Digital form instructions to be completed by the Broker Dealer
- In Wealthscape, select Menu > Resources > Fidelity Integration Xchange
- In Fidelity Integration Xchange, select My Firm's Integrations > Outbound Transmission Rules
- Select "Add Rule" at the bottom of the page
- Select "BYALLACCOUNTS/MORNINGSTAR (180)" from the ENTITY NAME drop-down menu
- Select / Add Header: Client Header
- Contact your Fintech if a Client Header Name is required.
- The Client Header must include the Broker Dealer ID and Rep Code (i.e. “Smith-JDoe” or “AB12-B03”).
- The Client Header must be provided to ByAllAccounts to locate the data once NFS adds it to the feed.
- Please note that in order to utilize the self-service tools to Add or Delete Outbound Transmission Rules, you must first request the the following entitlements from your Fidelity Administrator:
- “Integration Xchange_OutboundTransmissionsRulesManagement”
- “Integration Xchange Admin Outbound Transmission Rules Management"
- Once the request is submitted and in good order, AVDF/Fidelity will create the requested data feed to ByAllAccounts. These client-initiated changes should be effective the same day provided they are entered prior to 7:30PM EST.
- Note: This process may take a couple of weeks. If there are any questions regarding the Third-Party Transmission process, the B/D and/or Advisor can contact the NFS Client Service Team.
