Error code 176 bank not connecting

Thanks for reaching out to the Community, @alishbrown2.

May I know what specific bank you're trying to connect to QuickBooks Online (QBO)? Any additional information can help us determine your banking issue.

In the meantime, try signing into your QBO account using a private browser (incognito). This will help us check if this is a browser-related issue (cache and cookies).

Here's how:

• Press Ctrl + Shift + N (Google Chrome).
• Ctrl + Shift + P (Firefox).
• Control + Option + P (Safari).

Once logged in, try to connect the bank again to double-check. I suggest checking out this article for the detailed steps on how: Connect bank and credit card accounts to QuickBooks Online.

If it's successful, return to your default browser and perform a clear cache to refresh the system. However, if the issue persists, try using other supported browsers.

Please know that I'm only a post away if you have any other issues or concerns. I'll be here to assist. Have a good one!

After doing further research, I've discovered that this error code is an on-going investigation (INV-51798). This means that other users are experiencing the same error with this bank.

I appreciate you for joining the thread, @CB42419.

There are no active cases regarding error 176 with Frost Bank. If your bank is connected to QuickBooks, this can be resolve by disconnecting and reconnecting your bank account.

To disconnect an account connected to online banking:

1. Go to the Banking or Transactions tab, then select Banking.
2. Select the tile for the bank account.
3. Tap on the pencil icon, then select Edit account info.
4. Check the box beside Disconnect this account on save. If QuickBooks is downloading new transactions, you won't see this option. Wait a few minutes for the update to finish and try again.
5. Hit Save and Close.

Once done, I recommend opening this link for your guide on how to reconnect your account to QuickBooks Online.

Just in case you're getting errors, I suggest checking out the additional instructions from this article to isolate the issue: What to do if you get a bank error or can't download transactions in QuickBooks Online.

Candice,

I have been getting this same 176 Error message with my business bank account at Crystal Lake Bank & Trust for nearly a week.  I contacted my bank yesterday and they said they have been receiving a lot of calls about this from other customers and they believe it is a QBO issue.  Can you look into this to see if your company is working to resolve this issue?

Thanks!

Toby

Joining the thread to help with your question updating bank, TobyS

I checked our records and I can see that we have an open investigation about Error 176 in the Online Banking page for  QBO. This means that our engineers are already aware of this incident and are currently working to resolve the issue.

I would also recommend reaching out to chat or phone support teams. They will be asking for your account details to add you to the list of affected users. Email notifications will be sent as soon as the issue is resolved. Here's how to get in touch with them: 

1. Click the Help menu in the upper-right hand corner of your QBO account.
2. Type in "Talk to a human" in the chatbox, then press Enter.
3. Select Get help from a human.
4. Click Chat with us or Have us call you.

Hello!

Have you tried open your QB account on private/incognito browser? Another option, utilize the trial version of SlickConnect to isolate the issue. It is designed to import into any bank or credit card in QuickBooks Online/Self Emploeyed, so there is no specific setting needed. If the same error persists, there is an ongoing problem at your bank.

Hi

I'm getting the 176 error message in relation to the Coles Mastercard. The last update from Quickbooks is dated August. This is now October and BAS's are due soon. Any idea when this will be fixed, or at least do us the service of providing an update?

Thanks

Let me help you sort this out, Kimm5.

Error 176 falls into the category of a general script error. To get this fix, I'd suggest getting in touch with our QuickBooks Online Support to have this investigated.

All account-related concerns are directed to our phone support for security purposes. Unlike in this public forum, they have the tools required to perform any escalations in the system whenever necessary on your behalf.

Please be reminded that our Support Team is available from 6:00 AM until 6:00 PM on weekdays, and 6:00 AM till 3:00 PM PT on Saturdays. Here's how to contact us:

1. Click the Help (?) icon.

2. Choose Contact Us.

3. Enter a  brief description of your situation in the What can we help you with? area, then click Let's talk.

4. You'll be presented with a few options for connecting with Intuit. Select Get a call.

In the meantime, you can use our WebConnect feature to download your bank statements into QuickBooks. For your reference, check out this write-up: Manually upload transactions into QuickBooks Online. On the same write-up, you'll find links on how to set up bank rules as well as reconciling your account.

I'm only a post away if you have any questions about this topic or anything else you need in QuickBooks. I'll be glad to share and provide further assistance.

Well, I'm confused.

Coles Mastercard tell me that they do not support integration with accounting softweare, yet the Quickbooks website shows that you do. 

In any event, is there an update on this issue? Is it being fixed? Will it be fixed?

I have tried the manual upload and that is not working either

Yes, Coles Mastercard does not yet support integration with QuickBooks, @Kimm5.

May I ask if you're using the AU version of QuickBooks? I checked our records, and I can see that we have an open investigation (NV-61525) about customers unable to connect bank account with Cole's Credit Cards with error 176. 

This means that our engineers are already aware of this incident and are currently working to resolve the issue. We will continue to monitor the progress and will be in touch as soon as a further update is received. 

I've also checked that the next update is currently scheduled for Monday, Nov 01 02:00:00 GMT 2021.

That being said, I would also recommend reaching out to chat or phone support teams. They will be asking for your account details to add you to the list of affected users. In addition to that, they can also further investigate and help you manually upload your bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.

I'd also like to share a couple more articles about Online Banking in case you might need them in your future tasks:

• Manually Upload Transactions Into QuickBooks Online
• What To Do If You Get a Bank Error or Can't Download Transactions in QuickBooks Online

Thanks for your patience, and please feel free to come back to this thread if you have other banking issues. I'll be happy to help you again. Take care always!

I am getting this same error for First Republic Bank - Corporate Online. I have tried incognito without success. The feed worked fine until about 10 days ago. We recently connected the security token. QBO still synced fine for about a week with a daily token verification. Now, it does not sync. I have also removed the connection and tried to reconnect. No luck! I can login at the bank website just fine.

Thanks for joining the thread and posting an update here, Jane.

I reviewed our ongoing investigations and haven't found any ongoing issues for First Republic Bank. Error 176 falls into the category of a general script error. We would ask you to reach out to your online support team who will be troubleshooting the issue.

Here's how to contact us:

1. Go to the Help menu in QuickBooks, then choose the Search tab.
2. At the bottom click on Contact us.
   
3. Enter the keyword Payroll, Account Management and Billing in the What can we help you with? box.
4. On the next screen, scroll down to How would you like to connect with us section.
5. Choose Chat with us to initiate a discussion with a live agent.
6. Enter you account contact information then press Get a chat.
7. When using this option, make sure to enable pop-up windows. The chat box will appear at the bottom right section of your monitor, and an agent will be with you shortly after. See this:

If the transactions are not coming in and you're in rush to get bank transactions in your account for reconciliation, upload them manually. Download the data from your bank then map the transactions in a CSV file.

Once it is ready, start importing the file to your QuickBooks Online company. Follow these steps:

1. Open your QBO account and tap the Banking menu.
2. Click the Link Account drop-down.
3. Tap the Upload from file option.
   
4. Press Browse and choose the file you want to upload.
   
5. Choose an QBO file from the list, then Open.
6. Follow the on-screen instructions to map the fields.
7. Select the transactions to import.
8. Click Yes then Let’s go.

When the online banking connection is reconnected, the bank might re-download the transactions that were not fetched before. To avoid any duplicates, exclude them in the For Review tab. Here's how:

1. Go to the For Review tab.
2. Mark the box next to each transaction you want to exclude.
3. Select Exclude from the pop-up at the top.
   

4. Excluded transactions are then moved to the Excluded tab, and won’t be added to QuickBooks or be downloaded again. To permanently delete duplicate entries, put a check mark on them, then hit Delete.
