Issues with connecting to Bank of Hawaii

Experiencing connection issues with the Bank of Hawaii can be a bit challenging, @Amitabh. Let’s troubleshoot the problem and get everything running smoothly again.

First, could you provide more details about the specific error message you’re encountering? Are you having trouble downloading transactions? Sharing screenshots would also be helpful for us, and provide a permanent resolution to get this resolved.

Sometimes, banks undergo maintenance or experience outages. I recommend checking the Bank of Hawaii’s website or contacting their customer service to see if there are any ongoing issues.

In the meantime, you can manually update your bank connection in QuickBooks to refresh it and resume downloading transactions:

1. Sign in to QuickBooks Online.
2. Navigate to the Transactions menu and select Bank Transactions.
3. Click on Update.

If you still encounter issues, look for a banner on the Banking page for a Check Connections link and follow the provided steps.

Additionally, please log in to your bank's website outside QuickBooks. Look for any notifications that may require your approval to connect. You can also connect with your bank using their URL to ensure you’re linking to the correct financial institution. To link your account correctly, follow these steps:

1. Go to Banking and select Bank Transactions.
2. Click Link account.
3. In the Connect an Account page’s search field, enter your bank's URL and hit Enter.
4. Select your bank and follow the on-screen prompts to integrate your account.

If you’re having difficulty linking your bank account, you can manually upload your bank transactions as a temporary solution. Download the transactions from your bank’s website in CSV format, then import these transactions into your QuickBooks Online account.
