Why does Quicken Self-Employed suddenly stop syncing with my bank accounts? It hasn't updated in 9 days but I attempt to reconnect to my bank

It says an error has occurred, try in a few hours. My bank says you are now connected to Quickbooks but it doesn't show updated transactions in Quickbooks. I am afraid to to delete the connection because of the warnings about losing transaction categories, rules etc.

Why does Quicken Self-Employed suddenly stop syncing with my bank accounts? It hasn't updated in 9 days but I attempt to reconnect to my bank

I appreciate you for writing today, Bsteff. Let me help you with your concern regarding syncing bank accounts in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE).

 

To provide the most accurate solution, could you please provide the name of your financial institution and the specific error you have encountered? Any additional information you could share would be greatly appreciated.

 

QuickBooks relies on the data provided by your financial institution, and consequently, there may be missing transactions due to delays or interruptions in the bank connection. Your bank may also be undergoing maintenance, which could cause issues. To check on this, please visit your bank's website.

 

To ensure that no transactions go unnoticed, we can check if they have been synced in QuickBooks by selecting the All option for the TypeAccount, and Date filters.

 

Another possible cause of syncing errors could be outdated passwords or login credentials associated with your bank. To resolve this, you must update your bank information by visiting the Banking page and reconnecting the account to QBSE.

 

In the meantime, you can manually import your transactions into your QBSE account using a CSV file from your bank account.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. In the upper right corner, click the Profile icon and choose Imports.
  2. Select Import transactions.
  3. Follow the onscreen steps to upload the CSV file.
  4. Click Import.

 

We also recommend contacting our support team, as they have the tools and expertise needed to access your account and review your case thoroughly. Our dedicated team will provide you with the appropriate guidance and assistance to address your bank connectivity concerns promptly.

 

Please know that our support team is always ready to help with any questions or concerns you have regarding syncing your bank accounts or any other QBSE-related matters.

I have had this happened to me.  You may go into your rules and apply them to different accounts, so if you have to disconnect and reconnect just go into the settings and select new account to apply rule to.  

 

Many things could be causing the connection issue, sometimes for smaller card companies they have sync issues which usually get cleared in a few days.  If this is not the case you can try re-linking account and signing in again.  Just select the last date it brought in transactions and exclude any duplicate transactions.

 

Sometimes your card company is merging banks and/or changing login locations so you will need to disconnect and reconnect with any new website information or letters they sent you.  

 

I would recommend disconnecting and then going to your chart of accounts and to the right of the account drop down option "connect bank".  Select the date last imported transactions, remove any duplicate transactions and any open balance equity it creates.
