Join nowI have a BMO Harris business account and credit cards. I have just migrated from QB Desktop to Online.
If I try to add bank accounts I get error 101.
If I try to add credit cards I get error 163.
Quickbooks Online supports BMO business accounts as can be seen in the screenshot.
This has been happening for two weeks. I've called BMO technical help desk and they have no idea what is going on. This is really frustrating.
