Is there an update on this?  It's been 2 months since this post.  I would expect they have it figured out by now.  I still can't get any banking files to load into QB without it crashing.

Please know that you're always welcome to post if you have any other concerns. Wishing you and your business continued success.

So, is Intuit offering refunds for this?  I purchased a $220 upgrade in February thinking this might be the problem.  Now, I have no ability to finish up my business books for 2019 and the program I purchased is worthless to me until fixed.  Two months seems like plenty of time to get this resolved.

Hello, @Foilking. 

Thank you for choosing QuickBooks as a partner in your business. Our developers have already resolved the issue with importing your bank transactions in your QuickBooks for Mac.

I recommend updating QuickBooks before importing transactions, to improve program functionality and fix known issues. Also, to have the latest version of QuickBooks.

To update your QuickBook for Mac, here’s how.

1. From the QuickBooks▼ drop-down menu, select Check for QuickBooks Updates.
2. If a newer version is available, select Install Update.
3. When prompted, select Install and Relaunch.
4. When the update is complete, QuickBooks for Mac automatically opens.

Once done updating.

Log in to your financial institution and filter accounts for a specific date range to download and import into QuickBooks. If the information does not import, you can try to deactivate/reactivate online services. Any downloaded transactions that are duplicates need to be ignored to delete, and add new and match to existing the transactions you wish to import.

I’ll be leaving you this article on how to add and match transactions and set up and use Online Banking. Set up and use Online Banking (Mac).

Please let me know if you have other questions. Have a nice day!

It does NOT work.  I'm running the latest version and the second I click on "Downloaded Transactions" it instantly crashes EVERY TIME!!

Thanks for the update, Foilking.

Since none of the steps resolved the crashing issue in QuickBooks Desktop for Mac, I highly suggest contacting our live support team. You can report this so they'll get information from an affected user. This way, they'll able to fill out the Create Investigation form to re-isolate the issue.

To contact them:

1. Visit this link: https://help.quickbooks.intuit.com/en_US/contact.
2. Choose QuickBooks for Mac.
3. Select a topic.
4. Click Start a Message.

Also, if you're using the new macOS Catalina, our Product Team has identified data file incompatibility issues between earlier versions of QuickBooks Desktop for Mac 2019 and 2020 and Apple's update.

Stay in touch if there's anything else I can help you. Just tag my name and I'll get back to you.

Thank you and stay safe!
