Barclays personal account connection

Hello Slave, Thanks for contacting the Community. Would you be able to try on a mobile device  with the Barclays banking app on it. Do you get the same screen?

Hi EmmaM

I just tried on my phone:

"OBA28 - Sorry, we are unable to complete your Open Banking request.  For your security, it may take up to 4 days for this feature to be available.  Please contact your Third Party Provider if it is not available after this time"

It then logged me into the Barclays phone app

Hi

I contacted Quickbooks support.  They listened politely, then sent me standard instructions on how to connect and another email saying that they considered the matter closed.

This still does not work (I tried again just now).

Is there going to be a solution to connecting a Barclays personal account to Quickbooks?  If not, I suggest that you remove it from the list so that we at least don't waste time trying it.

Rant over!

Hello Slave, IS it a new connection or a reconnection your trying to do for your Barclays personal account? When you try and connect it up are you getting any error messages or codes showing up at all? Are you trying to do the connection on quickbooks app or web browser version? 

Hi Ashleigh1

This is a new connection.  I have tried on desktop and phone app.

I get no error codes.  All that happens is the process logs me into my Barclays online banking page, there is no mention of connecting to Quickbooks.  I have been through this with one of your colleagues screen sharing to show them.

Another week goes by with no solution.......

I appreciate you for getting back here in the thread, @Mark of Somerset.

First and foremost, I am grateful for the time and effort you have put in so far in this. As I check on my resources, Barclays personal account is already available here in QuickBooks. I also did some research and found no issue or investigation about this. Barclay is now ready for open banking. If you haven't yet, you can consider updating your bank feed connection to open banking for a better experience. You can visit this article for more information.

To learn how to connect your bank to open banking, you can refer to this page for more information.

If the issue persists, you can consider contacting support. This way, a representative can check and investigate to determine what's causing this problem on your account.

I'm going to include a link here where you can look for an article that will assist you if you require some information or procedures when using QuickBooks Online. Help Articles.

This solution worked fine for me on Safari but not on Google Chrome.  Maybe a cookies thing?

Hello Ppsouto, yes it could be a cookies thing if you can try clearing your cache and cookies to all time close the browser down , reload it and try again. 

Hi, did the same thing and thrown me a OBA28 error code what is not recognised by Barclays even though it's sent by Barclays app.....

Hello.

I'll lay down a couple of solutions to help you fix the OBA28 error code. 

Barclays uses the PINsentry token to connect with other apps such as QuickBooks. The error code is likely caused by damaged app data, or if the app is outdated. 

Make sure the Barclays app is updated. Uninstall and reinstall the app if you get the same error code. 

If the OBA28 error code still appears, we'll want to have this checked by contacting Barclays support. We can ask them for issues about establishing a third-party connection with other apps, and the token itself. 

After working with Barclays support, link your account again in QuickBooks.

When you're able to do so, we can start categorising your entries for your books. 

When you're ready, we can also start the reconciliation processes. Check out this guide for more details: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online.
