Anyone else having trouble reconnecting their bank account?

Tried earlier in the week and received the error "Something unexpected happened" - still happening today. Starting to panic as it has to be done by the 6th October.

Anyone else having trouble reconnecting their bank account?

I understand how frustrating this can be, especially with an important deadline approaching, adamstarresources.

 

Can you please provide the name of your bank? Knowing this will help us check for any ongoing investigations regarding your financial institution and offer an appropriate resolution.

 

The error message, “Something unexpected happened,” appears when there’s an issue between QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) and your bank. This could be due to temporary technical difficulties, changes in your bank’s security settings, or even maintenance updates from your financial institution.

 

In the meantime, I recommend visiting your bank’s website to check for any alerts, maintenance updates, or new security requirements that might impact your connection with QuickBooks. Some banks may implement additional authentication steps or upgrade their systems, which could affect how QBSE accesses your account.

 

If your bank confirms there are no issues on their end, access your QBSE using a different browser or a private window and reconnect your bank.

 

If the issue persists, it is best to contact our Chat or Phone Support team. They can determine the root cause and walk you through the precise steps to reconnect your bank.

 

While awaiting a permanent solution, you can manually import your transactions into QuickBooks to continue managing them effectively.
