Hi. My bank connection keeps failing every day at the moment. I’m with mettle bank. Has anyone else had the same problem?

Hi,

I am having a similar problem with connecting to Mettle. The connection keeps cancelling and when I try to reconnect through the app, it says (after approving in the Mettle app and returning to quickbooks app) '400: something unexpected happened'.

Previously, I have been able to log in via a browser and reconnect. This time, it has reconnected but will not upload the transactions. Under the Mettle account it now says:

We couldn’t display the consent status for this connection. Check back later for this info.

When I click on the 'manage consent' option, it again says 'something unexpected happened', with no error code. This is on the browser, not the app. I have cleared the cache and also tried a different browser, with same result.

Let me guide you to the appropriate department to help you fix your bank connection and manage online entries in your account, Shiona.

If you're experiencing this error using QuickBooks Online, I recommend reaching out to our QuickBooks Support Team to further review your account and investigate your case in a secure environment.

Here's how you can reach them out:

1. In your QBO account, click the Help icon and select Contact Us.
2. Enter your concern and click Let's Talk.
3. Select Start a chat or Get a callback with a support expert.

However, if you're utilizing QuickBooks Self-Employed, there's an ongoing investigation into the exact issue. With that, it's best to contact our Customer Care Team to ensure you're added to the list of affected users. This way, you'll receive further updates via email.

Feel free to visit this guide to ensure you get hold of our representatives on time: QuickBooks Support.

As a workaround, you may consider manually importing missing bank transactions into your account using a CSV file: Manually upload transactions into QuickBooks Online.

Once everything comes in handy in the future, you can use this reference when tracking entries to the right account in QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Self-Employed.

I'll be on this forum anytime you require additional assistance managing online bank transactions in your account. Just let me know in the comments below. Keep safe.
