I am trying to reconnect my bank account but it keeps coming up with an error message. It is a commonweath account

I appreciate you reconnecting your bank account, Admin. Rest assured, I'm here to help you ensure you can achieve this.

To start, please note that there are three types of Commonwealth Bank accounts in Australia:

• Commonwealth Bank of Australia - Business Banking (CommBiz)
• Commonwealth Bank of Australia - NetBank, and
• Commonwealth Securities Limited (CommSec)

With that, please clarify which Commonwealth Bank account you're using and the specific error message you’ve encountered while reconnecting your bank account to QuickBooks. Any additional details would help me provide the best support.

If you're using the Commonwealth Securities Limited (CommSec), please know that this is no longer supported. Rest assured, you can still record transactions by manually uploading them into QuickBooks using a CSV file.

On the other hand, if you are using CommBiz or NetBank, ensure the URL is correct. For a smoother and more reliable sync of your transaction data, consider connecting your Commonwealth Bank account to QuickBooks Online (QBO) via Direct Feeds.

Here's how you can set it up:

1. Go to Transactions, then select Bank Transactions.
2. Select Link account on the top-right corner of the screen.
3. Type Commonwealth Bank in the search bar, then select it.
4. Click Get direct bank feeds. 
5. Fill in the required fields.
6. Select the QuickBooks Online account you want the direct feed transactions to flow, then click Connect.
7. A Customer Authority to Disclose Information form will be generated based on your details. Hit Preview Form to open it.
8. Print the form, have all signatories sign it, scan it, and email it to intuitforms@siss.com.au or mail it to SISS Data Services Pty Ltd Locked Bag 3060 Crows Nest, NSW, 1585.

If the issue persists, I recommend contacting your bank to check if there are issues on their end. In the meantime, consider manually uploading your bank transactions using a CSV file.

I'll be adding these articles for more information about the supported and non-supported institutions in QuickBooks Online (QBO):

Try opening your QBO account on any private/incognito browser.

Whatever has changed recently, updating bank feeds with Commonwealth Bank is a massive pain. Every day, there are errors and things wrong with it.

Get it fixed, QuickBooks!

I see how this bank feed error has been affecting your daily banking operations and understand the challenge you've encountered in proceeding to your next tasks, @jivemedia. We'll make sure to help you all along the way in resolving this.

Before anything else, I'd like to know what errors are typically shown in your bank feeds, as this will help us clarify the root cause of the issue and provide the correct way to resolve them.

In the meantime, we can perform some basic banking troubleshooting steps that can help resolve a bank feed that isn't updating.

The first step is to check your Commonwealth Bank's connection status. Please note that Business Banking (Commbiz) and Personal Banking (NetBank) are different accounts under this bank. Check if they're indicated as Green and have no issues. If it's a Red status, there is an existing issue, and you need to connect to their support. 

For more information, you can read this article: The QuickBooks Online bank connection status page.

You can also review the updated lists of financial institutions that have stopped supporting bank feeds and check if your bank account type under the Commonwealth Bank is one of them.

Once you confirm that these aren't the reasons, Refresh the button in your bank feeds because some banks require refreshing for additional authentication. If you receive a prompt message afterwards, follow the on-screen steps to continue the update.

If the issue persists, I recommend checking your bank account's website to ensure you're using the correct URL QuickBooks uses to connect with your financial institution.

You can also verify in the notification section if there's an issue uploading bank transactions between your financial institution and QuickBooks, indicating the resolution or the time frame for when it will be fixed.

Once you see some changes in your bank details, update the information in QuickBooks. Here's how:

1. Go to Transactions, then select Bank transactions.
2. Find and choose the tile of the Comm bank account. Then select the Edit ✎ icon.
   
3. Click Edit sign-in info.
4. Update your information. Then, Save.
   
   

If this doesn't work, you can manually upload your Commonwealth Bank transactions by following the required format in the meantime to proceed with your daily banking tasks.
