I have just signed up with Quickbooks for the first time ever on Wednesday because my previous bookkeeping service is closing. I am trying to connect my American Express credit card, and I can't move past the screen to 'verify I am human'. I've cleared cache and cookies, and tried setting it up on 3 different browsers.
I have been in contact with customer service twice. They are telling me that there is a known issue with credit cards right now and that the back-end team is working on it. But there is no estimate of when it will be corrected so I should just import all of the transactions manually.
It was suggested I visit the community to seek updates about the problem, but when looking through the community, it seems there are frequent connection issues with cards - specifically American Express. Before I get all of my information set up with Quickbooks, I wanted to ask if this is true, are there frequent connection issues? If I have to manually import everything anyway, I'm pretty sure I can find a cheaper alternative.
Try opening your QBO account on any private/incognito browser.
Let's make sure you'll be able to connect your bank account, flutterbyeprints.
Are you getting a specific error when trying to connect your bank? As mentioned by @Fiat Lux-Asia, you can log into your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account using an incognito window to fix the issue. Once done, try connecting your bank again. Also, I've checked and it seems AMEX connection issues has already been resolved. You'll want to sign in to your bank's website and check if there are maintenance or notifications that needs your attention. Sometimes, these are some of the factors that simply affects when connecting your bank accounts.
However, if the issue persists, I recommend reaching out again to our support team to double-check and investigate further. They have the tools to pull up your account in a secure environment. Here's how to reach them:

Same issue, can't move past the 'verify that you're human' screen.
I gave it a try. Same issue; can't move past 'verify that you're human' screen.
There is no specific error - it is shown exactly as the screen shots that I posted. There is no way to move past the 'verify that you're human' screen.
I have tried it in incognito window, after clearing cache/cookies, on three different browsers, and on several different days last week and then today. I've logged into my AMEX account and there are no maintenance or notifications that need attention.
I have spoken with two customer service representatives, they both told me last week that there was an issue with credit cards and it was being worked on by the 'backend' people. I was not given any time frame for this supposed fix.
Utilize the trial version of MT Online to isolate the issue. It is designed to import into any bank or credit card in QuickBooks Online, so there is no specific setting needed. If the same error persists, there is an ongoing problem at your bank or connection.

The suggested solution is to download a trial version of some other software to complete a service that is supposed to be included with my subscription to Quickbooks? If it is a problem with the credit card company, why did two Quickbooks customer service reps tell me that they were aware there was an issue with credit cards and that it was being worked on?
More than trying to get this specific issue resolved, I'm interested to know if problems like these are frequent with QB Online and if things are often 'being worked on' - because I am going to find a different solution to my bookkeeping if that is the case.
