Can QB please just admit that this is the result of some corporate or interpersonal conflict between Intuit and Amex? It seems disingenuous at this point to keep telling customers that "this just isn't fixed yet". No company (AMEX) in their right mind would launch a business checking account that can't be used with Quickbooks, so either Amex doesn't want it to happen, or Intuit doesn't from a strategy level (or the teams at both companies just can't work well together).
We'd really want to have this sorted out, niknokseyer.
I can see that we have an open ticket about the Error 102 with Amex online banking. This means that our engineers are already working with your bank to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
We have also created a list to track all affected users. We will be sending updates and notifications to everyone on the list once we get this sorted out.
Having said that, please contact our support team. They will be asking for your account and contact details to add you to the list.
Here's how to reach out to them:

Don't hesitate to tag me in your reply or visit us again if you have any QuickBooks-related inquiries. We're always here to make sure you get the help that you need.
Also can't seem to find the business checking (not personal checking) integration. Has anyone found a solution for this? Not planning on getting rid of amex and I do enjoy QuickBooks...
Thank you for letting us know, mrode. We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying our product.
I'm glad to inform you that QuickBooks Online fully supports AMEX Business Checking. To ensure that it will appear on the list, you can enter "American Express (Banking)" or their official URL in the search field.
If the same thing happens, let's connect your account using a private or incognito window. QuickBooks Online uses cache and cookies to load the pages faster. But over time, they also get outdated and corrupted causing unexpected behaviors. These are the shortcut keys:
If that works, go back to your regular browser and clear the site data to remove the stored junk files. Switching to other supported browsers can also help further isolate the problem.

KlentB, this connection has been working for me for about a month now, but, I am forced to verify my information everytime. Will this be fixed anytime soon?
This happens everytime I sync my accounts, whether it is in the same session, new session, or incognito session.
Let's fix the error you encountered, Danland.
Bank error 185 means your financial institution needs more information after entering your credentials. This happens when they need additional security requirements, such as a security question or one-time passcode.
To fix the error, enter your answer to the security questions or a one-time password. Whichever the system asks you to enter.

My Error is not 185, its error 102
Adrian_A, I verify the information everytime, in this case it texts me a code to enter. But everytime I sync the message comes back even in the same session.
My AMEX Business Credit card doesnt do this, only my AMEX Business Checking.
I use "American Express Corporate or Personal Credit Card (US)" to sync my AMEX Business Credit card and "American Express (Banking)" to sync my AMEX Business Checking.
We understand the frustration of not having this function as expected and the importance of getting this resolved as quickly as possible, vj_ and DanLand.
The error 102 that you received states that there may be a problem on your bank's end. Their website may be undergoing maintenance or have server issues. This can stop the online bank connection to QuickBooks.
This error usually resolves within 24 hours. In the meantime, you can manually update the online bank connection in QuickBooks. I've added this link for the details to update the connection: Fix bank error 102.
As for you, DanLand, we already open an investigation into the error. To ensure your company details are included as one of the affected users, I'd suggest reaching out to our phone support.

I think you are missing the point. We have all been trying for many months, and seeing the same error. This is not something that will be resolved by AMEX tomorrow, I suspect this will take a lot of work on both teams, to bring this to a successful resolution.
Regards
I understand how upsetting this might be, @Anonymous.

This worked. I now have Amex Business checking on my Quickbooks Online.
This was a dumpster fire I am glad they finally fixed it.
@dreammachineprints how were you able to make it work? Still not working for me.
I found out how to make it work—assuming you have the same problem:
I hope this helped!
Agree on this being a dumpster fire. Does not work for me either.
Looks like the connection to American Express (Banking) isn’t available right now.
Try again in a few hours. (102)
That's the correct one that worked when I did connect it, so you're on the right track. Also was signed into Amex in a separate app window, not sure if that verified the connection or some kind of handshake behind the scenes
I am not sure honestly. It was a while ago. I do want to say that it does work, so there is a solution. Last year, I could not find someone who got it to work. At least now, you know it is possible. I did not do anything special besides clicking one of the Amex links when connecting the account and it just worked. So no crazy things. Definitely did not get help from quickbooks.

Two tools that I really like, but since I don't see a solution to this problem, my review now is an alternative to AMEX or QBO.
Please go to AMEX chat and ask the representative to submit a complaint that this feature needs to be added in a more timely manner. They need to hear from users that we want this feature.
