It's bad enough that qbo won't link to my bank account (Foothills Bank/Glacier Bank), but now, as of 2/1/25, qbo has stopped importing my bank's downloaded qbo files.

Been working fine for over a year. Now, no transactions are imported and/or shown for matching. I've tried qbo, ofx & csv; all fail to import, yet webapp screen indicated import complete. I opened qbo file with text editor and full of data. Any ideas? Thanks.

Having precise and up-to-date data offer a clear view of financial standing, which aids in the efficient reconciliation of bank statements. I appreciate your efforts in trying various files to import transactions into QuickBooks Online (QBO), mohavehitch. I'm here to support you and will provide an alternative approach to address the issue.

 

If the downloads are slow or appear to be delayed, the issue could be on your bank's end. To investigate further, please log in to your bank's official website and verify if there are any service disruptions or maintenance updates that could be affecting the download process.

 

Here's how:
 

  1. Visit your bank's website and log in to your account.
  2. Review your account for messages, notifications, or alerts.
  3. Look for any display issues as you navigate the website. These can block QuickBooks from downloading new transactions.
  4. Check your bank’s website for any announcements about new security requirements.

 

If everything on the website appears normal, return to QuickBooks:
 

  1. Navigate to Transactions, then to Bank Transactions.
  2. Click on Update to proceed.

Thanks, but what would be really awesome is if you read my specific question/problem and provided a solution to that. Because this unrelated boilerplate response misses the mark very badly.
