SOLVED•by QuickBooks•4•Updated 1 month ago

Learn what to do if you see banking error 324 in QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Self-Employed.

Error 324 means QuickBooks can't find the account you set up when it tries to connect to your bank or credit card's website. This may be because:

  • Your bank or credit card company changed the account or moved it to a new server.
  • You changed the account name or other info on your bank or credit card company's website.
  • Your bank or credit card company issued a new account or credit card.
  • You closed your bank or credit card account.
  • You have multiple accounts with the bank that has the same name.
