To fix this, try accessing your QuickBooks Community account using a browser, rather than through the Help option within QuickBooks Online.

I'll keep this thread open, so feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions. We're always here to help!

The problem was resolved, but now has re-started - my Venmo account has not synced for the past 14 days - doesn't even ask me for a login.

Currently the error is "106" that QB can connect to Venmo but can't find the right kind of account.

I understand how important it is for your business to connect with Venmo, Jenny. Allow me to guide you to the appropriate support team that can assist in resolving this issue.

Before we proceed, please note that Error 106 typically occurs when QuickBooks is unable to locate your account. This can happen if the account has been closed or due to issues with your credentials, security settings, or server connections.

To ensure a more thorough investigation, I recommend reaching out to our Live Support team. They have the tools and can privately access your account to identify the root cause and assist you in resolving the issue with linking your Venmo account.

Here’s how you can connect with them:

1. Open the Help panel.
2. Select the Search tab, and type in keywords like "contact support" for guidance.

Thanks, I appreciate you writing back. However, nothing at all has changed with my Venmo account - it is still open, in good standing, and functioning just fine. This is the third time I have had a sudden, unannounced, prolonged outage between Venmo and Quickbooks. The first time, I spent hours on the phone with your time, an investigation was launched, and no one ever followed up. I'm not going to waste my time again, this is a problem with the Quickbooks product. To be honest, I need to spend that time finding a better product for my business needs - this is the third time in two years.

Having this problem linking Venmo (error 102) when it stopped syncing in November. Have been in touch with QB and they said they can't do anything for now but assured me they're "working very hard to fix it." As this and other threads show, it's a known issue that's been going on for a long time and affecting lots of users.

They gave me a 50% discount on the next three months of my subscription--if you're having the same issue you should call and ask for the same, or more. (I honestly don't think affected users should be paying any subscription fees at all until the issue is resolved, since we're not getting the product we paid for.)

The entire reason my business uses QB is to sync, track, and categorize expenses, so without this function QB has become effectively pointless, especially with 1099s due at the end of the month and then tax season after that. They're obviously not taking it seriously given how long it's been going on, but maybe if enough people ask for discounts or refunds, or threaten to unsubscribe all together, they'll fix it. Quickbooks subscriptions are not cheap and it's bizarre that they've let this ride for so long.

My Venmo stopped linking on January 8th, 2026.  This is very frustrating, it's the second or third time it's happened in the past year or so.  QBO, is there any progress made?

I have also been having this problem since early January - I get a "102" error. I have to note that this kind of multi-week outage with Venmo happens at least once a year. Needless to say, it's frustrating.

This issue is over a year old. How about you guys actually fix the problem instead of encouraging us to take the issue upon ourselves and waste our time with your customer support. This reply is infuriating. 

How about you guys actually fix the problem. It’s been a multi-user issue for years now so instead of insisting we waste our time with your customer support, maybe you guys actually fix a clear and present flaw in the program we keep paying you for.

Why do my comments keep disappearing? THIS ISSUE IS YEARS OLD WITH MULTIPLE USERS REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM. Fix it yourselves, stop sending AI replies that we should waste our time with your customer support. I have and nothing was fixed. Absolutely infuriating.

I'll add to this craziness.

I tried three or four times trying to initial connect my venmo account to quickbooks - each time it failed with the 102 error.

After that - at least once a day I get an Venmo email saying someone is trying to access my account (sign-in attempt)  - I'm assuming its quickbooks - but....

Hello there, nhhandyman.

It’s tough when multiple attempts don’t work as expected. Let me help you fix the connection and address the emails.

Error 102 with Venmo indicates a connection issue between QuickBooks Online (QBO) and your financial institution. The repeated sign-in emails you're receiving are likely due to QBO's automated attempts to reestablish the connection.

For further assistance, I encourage you to connect with our Live Support team. They have the tools to investigate this further, securely access your account, and help resolve the Venmo linking issue.

Here’s how to contact them:

1. Open the Help panel in QBO.
2. Go to the Search tab, and enter keywords like "contact support" for instructions.
3. Select Contact Us.
4. Choose either Chat or Callback to connect with an expert.
