Upgrading BMO Account Connection

I have an error message for all my BMO accounts saying "The old connection doesn't work anymore. Reconnect with the faster, more reliable one now and get back on track. (377)". When I try to reconnect the accounts, after clicking "update now" and then "continue" I get an error message saying "Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://api.bmo.  .com /denyhandler/api/intuit/party-authentication/api-isam-error-handler/generateIsamErrorResponse ?" on this server.

Reference #18.ca30017.1683762140.139d89a". How can I fix this? I called Quickbooks support and she had no clue why the issue was happening.

I encountered the same issue, and I think there is an error in the backend of QBO. It seems that many customers are unable to link their accounts. I hope QBO is currently working on resolving this issue..

SOLVED! login BMO in other taps first, then connect BMO on QBO.

This didn't work for me, I am still receiving the error message about the API. When will this be resolved for all users?

Same issues here.

You don't have permission to access "http://api.bmo.com/denyhandler/api/intuit/party-authentication/api-isam-error-handler/generateIsamErrorResponse?" on this server.

Anyone knows how to solve this?

count me in as another one who is experiencing this. I was in the middle of reconciling and then I lost all connections to my BMO accounts. No clearing of cache, or changing browsers help in the least.
Then I come here and see it has been an issue for weeks... not a great look Intuit.
Then I try to contact support via chat, and it failed... and then tried to send a message and apparently they are closed... lol

Extremely frustrating!!!!  Finally resolved our issue yesterday with the chequing account by doing a "Disconnect this account on save", and re-connecting. But today the Credit Card will not download.

I am having this same issue for the past few weeks. I can't do my reconciliation that my accountant is asking for. I have tried absolutely everything in the Help pages (clearing cache, clearing Intuit-specific cookies, incognito window, restarting everything. Today I disconnected all the accounts and hit save, but when I tried to reconnect them, I got the same error message. I have spent hours and hours of my time trying to resolve this- it's incredibly frustrating as a small business owner. I am paying for QBO monthly and basically cannot use it. Please resolve this issue ASAP or let us know if there is anything more we can do on our end!
