Let's resolve the error you've encountered to pull-up new bank transactions, @john20

 

May I know what bank are you having trouble with? This is to check if we have any ongoing issue with it.

 

Usually, it’s a script error that interrupts the connection between your bank and QuickBooks Online. In the meantime, you can bring in your transactions through WebConnect.

 

You may check out this article for more information: How to upload more than 90 days of bank transactions.

 

If you have any other questions or would like me to clarify anything else, let me know. I'm always glad to help in any way I can.​ Take care and have a wonderful day!

Hi @MJoy_D yes my bank is Wells Fargo.  This has worked for several years and now all of sudden the connection is gone and I've tried for 3 weeks to re-establish the connection.  Apparently this is a Quick Books engineering issue but there is no way to obtain a status on a resolution from QB customer support.  I'm open to any way to resolve this problematic issue.  (attached is the latest error message)

Thanks for the prompt reply, john20. 

 

We had an investigation about the error 9999 for the Wells Fargo bank and it has been resolved.

We can perform another workaround on how to get rid of it. We’ll be refreshing the connection using a private browser.

 

Please follow these steps:

  2. Click on Add Account
  3. Search and select the Wells Fargo, follow the log in prompts.
  4. Please ensure all the accounts are checked though it’s already connected.
  5. Close the window when you get to the window where we ask you to map your bank accounts.
  6. Sign out and sign back in to check if the bank transactions downloaded.

I know that you've contacted us however, I’d suggest reaching out to us again if the error persists after performing the steps. We can open a new case so our engineers can work with your bank. 

  1. Go to the Help menu and click Contact us.
  2. Enter your concern that you received an error 9999 for your Wells Fargo bank.

Im able to make the request to Wells Fargo to be connected and it takes me through the authentication process now.  For the last 3 weeks I couldn't get to the authentication level or menu. However I end up with an error message and an option to report the issue - which then takes me to message saying "we'll let you know when this error is fixed."  are there any other options?

I also found an investigation regarding this new error 580, john20.

 

While we're unable to get an update on the error codes that you've encountered, I'd suggest using the WebConnect feature. This way, you can match your bank transactions to QuickBooks Online.

 

We will also make sure to keep this thread posted once the issue is resolved. Please take note that when transactions are updated, there might be duplicate transactions. What we can do is exclude them by following these steps:

  1. In the Banking page, put a check mark on box of the duplicate transactions.
  2. Click the Batch actions drop-down menu.
  3. Select Exclude Selected.

I've got a sample screenshot for your reference:

 

Don't hesitate to comment here if you have additional questions. Thank you.

I am having the same issue with TD Bank and have been for the past week. I am able to reset the log in and QBO accepts the log in but then when I go to update the accounts, I receive the message that something isn't working, can't update the account.  Please wait a few hours.   I have been waiting many, many hours.

@fechterrandi 

Have you tried open your QBO account on private/incognito browser?

Good morning, @fechterrandi

 

Thanks for joining in on this thread. Let's work together to get your bank updating in your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account. 

 

Yes, @Fiat Lux - ASIA is on the right track. Using a private browser or incognito window can help eliminate any error that's occurring in the system. Don't worry. It only takes a few taps on your keyboard to do this action. Here's how: 

 

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl Shift 
  • Internet Explorer/Firefox: Ctrl + Shift 
  • Safari: Command Shift 

 

If this works, go back to your regular session and clear your browser's history. This will remove the error so that you're able to start seeing your bank transactions. If this doesn't work, then I recommend contacting our Customer Support Team. They have additional tools to look further into your account to see what's happening on the back end. 

 

In the meantime, you can check out this link about what to do when getting a bank error

 

Let me know if these steps helped or if you're getting in touch with our Customer Support Team. I want to make sure that all of your concerns are addressed as soon as possible. If you have any other questions or concerns, don't hesitate to ask. I'm always here to lend a helping hand. I'll be waiting for your response.
