I am bookkeeper using QuickBooks Online Accountant for all my clients.  As of this afternoon everyone’s Bank Transactions sync appears to be broken for all American Express cards.  I am getting the message “Unable to get transactions for “x” accounts.”  It is citing Error 324 and the fix now button doesn’t take you anywhere.  I do not see this reported anywhere.  Is this a known issue?  Is there an eta on a resolution

It's tied to how the bank connection is working with American Express right now. To fix this, please follow the steps below:
 

  1. Disconnect all American Express accounts from QuickBooks.
  2. Assign a unique nickname to each bank account to prevent conflicts.
  3. Select the correct provider when reconnecting: choose "American Express" as the primary account holder, or "American Express Delegate" if managing on behalf of someone else.
  4. Authorize every account Amex displays during the prompt, including those you don't intend to use in QuickBooks, to prevent error 324.
  5. Reconnect only the specific accounts you want to track in QuickBooks.
  6. Verify login uniqueness: using a single Amex login for multiple QBO accounts causes conflicts because the bank permits only one QBO connection per login. Contact Amex to separate logins if this applies.

 

Please refer to this page for further guidance: Fix bank connection error 324 in QuickBooks Online.

Error 324 means QuickBooks has lost its link to your account and stopped downloading transactions. To resolve this, disconnect the bank feed and reconnect it to resume synchronization.

Here’s how:
 

  1. Navigate to All apps, then select Accounting.
  2. Click Bank transactions.
  3. Locate the affected account, click Fix now, and select Disconnect.
  4. Click Add Account, search for your bank, and sign in with your current credentials.
  5. Select your updated account.
     

When reconnecting, ensure you map the account to your existing QuickBooks account to keep your past transactions and prevent duplicates.
