Error Message

Every day I log into Quickbooks my bank account shows the Needs Attention warning on the Dashboard and then it shows this error message "We can't find this account at your bank."  In order to fix this I have to unconnect my bank account and then reconnect it.  The issue is that I have to do this every single day in order to download new transactions.  How can I permanently fix this issue?

Hello, karenmgrant.

 

I have a solution to help you resolve the error message once and for all. 

 

This can be caused by a webpage cache issue. The error message likely came from a residual data. Usually, it happens when there was a banking update. 

 

You'll want to rule this out by using an incognito or a private window: 

 

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Safari (new versions): Command + Option + P 

 

When you don't encounter the error message the next time you log in, you'll want to clear your browser's cache. This article has the steps for each browser: Clear cache and cookies to fix issues when using QuickBooks Online.

 

After clearing the cache, close all of your browser processes to apply the new cache storage settings.

 

Another solution you can do is to use another supported browser

 

If you're using the QuickBooks Online Windows app, you'll want to click the Help menu then select Reset App Data

I'll offer a helping hand again if you have other concerns regarding QuickBooks Online.

I can provide additional steps to help you fix that error, @karenmgrant.

 

Before we begin, may I know the specific bank you're having problems with? That information is helpful to me to further check if there's an on-going issue with it. I also suggest reaching out to your bank to determine if there are any maintenance updates. 

 

In the meantime, let's manually update your bank in QuickBooks:

 

  1. Go to the Banking/Transactions menu.
  2. Select Update.
  3. If you still see the error, look for a banner on the Banking menu or Transactions menu. Select Check connections link and follow the steps to fix the issue. 

 

For additional reference, please visit this article: Fix banking error 324

 

However, if the issue persists, I recommend contacting our technical support team. This way, they can further investigate what's preventing you from connecting your bank with QBO. They also use specific tools to do a screen share to check your set-up.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. At the top right, click the Help icon.
  2. Select Contact Us.
  3. In the question box, enter Error message: We can't find this account at your bank.
  4. Click Continue.
  5. You'll be routed into the Choose a way to connect with us page.
  6. Choose Get a callback or Start a chat.  qbohelp21.JPG

 

Also, to help you match your real-life bank balance with QuickBooks. Please head to our Reconciliation hub for the step by step guide.

 

Let me know how this goes and leave a reply below. I'm always here to help you connect your bank with QuickBooks. Have a good one.

We use Chase.

 

Updating the account doesn't change anything or make the error message go away.

 

I also don't see anywhere that it says Check Connections.  There is a button to push that says "Report this and get a message when it's fixed".  I've done this before and never received a message (see image).

Thanks for the clarification, @karenmgrant.

 

I’ve check here on my end and find out there’s an open investigation (INV-53493) where some users encounter the same error with their chase bank. Rest assured our engineering team is all hands to fix this as soon as possible. 

 

In the meantime, let’s manually upload your bank transactions to your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account. I’d be glad to walk you through the steps:

 

  1. Sign in to your Bank website and follow the instructions to download the file as QBO, .CSV, or .QFX (maximum file size 350KB).
  2. Ensure to download only those transactions that haven’t been downloaded to your account to avoid duplicates.
  3. Once done, go to the Banking or Transactions menu. 
  4. Click the Banking tab and click the blue tile of your Chase bank.
  5. Select the Link account drop-down menu and then click Upload from file.
  6. Click Browse and then select the file you downloaded from your bank. Then select Next.
  7. In the QuickBooks account drop-down, select the account you want to upload the transactions into. Then select Next.
  8. Follow the onscreen steps to match the columns on the file with the correct fields in QuickBooks, then click Next.
  9. Then simply click Let's go when you're ready.

 

For more details about this, you can refer to this article: Manually upload transactions into QuickBooks Online.

 

In case you’ve downloaded duplicate transactions, you can just exclude them. Check out this article for the step by step guide: Exclude a bank transaction you downloaded into QuickBooks Online.

 

In addition to this, I’d recommend contacting our Support team. This way, they’ll add you to the list of affected users and be notified via email once this is resolved. Once everything is all in place, you can now effectively categorize and reconcile your accounts whenever you’re ready.

 

Please bear with us we’re working to fix this. If you have any other concerns or questions managing your chase bank or with your account, you’re always welcome to tag me in your reply. I’d be glad to be of assistance. Keep safe.
