I know this hasn't been an easy process for you, CharDrur.

  2. Select Talk to a human.
  3. Type in INV-77777 in the Type something field.
  4. Click the send icon.

In the meantime, you can manually add your bank transactions into QuickBooks Online while we're fixing this error. For more details, please see these articles:

 

 

Additionally, I've added an article that'll help you review downloaded bank and credit card transactions and put them in the correct accounts: Categorise and Match Bank Data in QuickBooks Online.

 

I appreciate your understanding on this matter. Please know that I'm determined to get this resolved.

Hi, please can you add me to the list too - I've had the same issue since 23 December.  I have disconnected and reconnected a few times but have only been able to reconnect a couple of times - each time only lasts until the next day.  

I know how to upload a csv file already but obviously it's best if the connection works as it should do.

thanks

Sam

As far as I can understand, it's the Co-op, not Quickbooks that is the problem - but ultimately it must be both of them failing and not really caring about us customers!!!  It is a nightmare, but there is a workaround where you download your bank statements as CSV files and then import them into the Banking bit of Quickbooks - but you have to delete unnecessary columns and make sure they tally with the QB system - be careful as the co-op csv has withdrawal and paid in next to each other and on QB they ask for paid in column first and withdrawal one next (or the opposite - I actually can't remember now but whichever it is, I got it wrong once but thankfully my accountant sorted it out!). SO FRUSTRATING and such a lot of hassle. It really hardly feels worth the effort. I have written to Co-op as well about this - it's so weird as their personal online banking is so much better than their business banking :(

Hi Jen Thank you for your reply. It comes to something when quickbooks can not respond with a human being yet a fellow user can ! What are we paying for ? This service is not fit for purpose. If I supplied a service similar to my customers I would be bankrupt before you know it ! So to help solve this problem I have to do all the downloading and uploading of files yet be carful how I do it other wise I will have to pay my account to sort it all out ! The world we live is far far from what should be right sadly. P.S think we as users need to rethink what we are paying for here.. more work for our selves not less

The connection to my personal Coop account hasn't worked for over two months. Support has kept saying it is being looked at. I've had an 'it's been resolved' email. I've spoken to the Coop and it hasn't.

Please sort this out.

I too am having the same issue; no connection to my Coop account since June 23. 

I have had responses from QB, the last of which requested a screenshot of the very same error they are aware of. The fact others have this issue is news to me since reading previous posts. It has made me quite cross as I have been led to conclude it is a random error and not widespread as it clearly is. I have just received a response from the bank, who claim they do not offer access to sub-accounts, which is nonsense as whilst, my account is not connected at present, it has been for the last two years without too many issues.

 

I strongly suspect there is more to this issue than has been revealed thus far, and I say this due to the vagueness of the responses. How can it be the bank claims no access is offered, yet QB says all should be fine but isn't, and cannot come up with the technical fix and stop wasting everyone's time.

 Hello Wendy Beech-ward and CeeVee1, what exactly happens when you try to connect to your co-op bank? What error messages/codes are you getting?

Yesterday, the error showed after going through the connect to bank process. Today, the error comes straight u after selecting chosen bank

I was informed this morning via coop messaging that they cannot offer me a sub-user account. Never mind the fact QB was connected previously for 2 years without (too many) issues. 

 

The responses I received from QB (who keep telling me there is nothing wrong at their end) and the bank are at odds with each other.

Hi CeeVee1, the direction to set up a sub-user account to continue accessing Open Banking services was provided to our banking techs by the Co-Operative. We appreciate some customers are being directed back to QuickBooks, and our team are continuing to work alongside the bank to understand this further. Your case remains open and attached to our investigation and we'll send further updates via email as we have these. Thanks for your patience in the meantime.

I have explained to the Coop that I  had little to no issue prior to the disconnection in June and as such, I require an adequate response,  not simply be told it is 'not on offer'. There was no reference to the fact I had previously had the connection between the bank and QB, and as such wanted more detail than was provided. 

It is my view that, whatever the issue is, it should be made clear by both QB and the Coop. The differing explanations together with no specified time for a resolution are neither helpful nor satisfactory given both organisations profit from my custom. In short, something or one, either, or both parties must know how and why this is happening and this should be shared with those affected.

I received this response from the cooperative bank this morning. 

It now seems apparent the licence held by QB for sub-accounts, has expired. Can QB confirm this is the case? 

-----------------------------

Hello Ms ***** Thanks for your message. I'm sorry my colleague stated we're unable to help with this. I can confirm our IT team are looking in to it. Our IT team have recently re-onboarded Quickbooks for Open Banking. This was following the expiry of their previous certificate. This is the reason the access temporarily stopped. Our IT team have contacted Quickbooks to reconfirm the details relating to the 2 sub user accounts. Once they have a reply back from Quickbooks, we'll let customers know. Quickbooks will then be able to support you to link the account again. In the meantime please accept my apologies for any inconvenience.

Hi CeeVee1, we've recently renewed the certificate and details of the sub-accounts were shared following this. We appreciate this is causing confusion, and our banking team are continuing to communicate with the Co-Op to restore the connection. Please await further updates on our investigation via email.

No timeframe for the solution? The absence of which is adding to the issue.
