My CAF bank connection has not worked in 3 days. It says CAF Bank isn't available. Anyone having the same problem?

I recognize the importance of having uninterrupted connectivity when managing your finances, CLL1. I am committed to resolving the CAF bank connection problem with QuickBooks Online (QBO) as quickly as possible. I'll guide you through addressing this and seamlessly continue managing your financials without interruptions.

First, may I know if you encountered any other error message besides the one you experienced? At this time, we haven't received similar reports regarding the CAF bank being unavailable.

In the meantime, we can perform troubleshooting steps to rectify this issue. Start by checking your financial institution's website for maintenance notifications or updates that require your attention. If everything looks good on their end, let's manually update your bank connection in QuickBooks Online (QBO). Here's how:

1. Sign in to your QBO account.
2. Go to Transactions and choose Bank Transactions.
   
   
   
   
3. Select the tile for your bank account and tap the Update button.
   
   
   

If your bank connection is still not working after executing the measures above, I recommend contacting our Customer Support Team. They have tools to conduct a thorough investigation and determine the cause. It'll also allow them to submit a ticket to our engineering team to alert them about the issue if necessary.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we navigated the troubleshooting steps.

I'll be around to help and ensure you have a smooth experience, CLL1.

I'm having the same problem.

Something kept us from getting any transactions here right now, and that's all we know. Try again in a few hours. (102)

I'm having problems with CAF bank as well. I get error code 103 and 163. That would indicate it's the bank's problem rather than quickbooks. Maybe ??

I reckon it is because they are an agency bank.

Hi AG777 Thanks for reaching out to us here on the Community. I can see that both CAF banks at present are experiencing a 163 error. To resolve this error the banks would need to be fully disconnected and reconnected following the steps in the article provided: https://intuit.me/46kqX8e

I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting and I get an error message. It's annoying because it's month-end.

Thwarted.

Hi AG777 We've created a case in relation to this contact and added it/your details to the ongoing investigation that our engineers are working towards resolving in relation to the issue that you're experiencing. We have also sent you an email from the case to confirm.
