Will the Nedbank connection issue every be fixed?

Nedbank has been unable to connect for several weeks now. I have contacted QBO endlessly and have been given a couple of reference numbers as well as an "investigation" number (69542). None of which are particularly helpful as the issue is still not fixed. Initially I received the error 155. I disconnected my accounts and tried to reconnect. That did not work and the notice I saw was "try again later". Now I am getting a message which reads "Nedbank Personal and Business Banking blocks QuickBooks Online from connecting with them......Let them know you'd like to be able to connect....." Does this mean that QBO has given up trying to sort out the issue and that Nedbank will NEVER be able to connect to QBO? The CSV import function never seems to work and it takes way too long to format endless CSV files. I am now resorting to entering all the transactions manually. This isn't acceptable. Can ANYONE shed some light on this? Do I have to move to another accounting package? Thanks

This isn't the impression we want to leave you with, @kelly31.

 

I have some information about the bank error 155. This error means your Financial Institution (FI) is not allowing QuickBooks to connect and receive your data. Currently, the FI has no exact timeline when they'll allow QuickBooks to connect again.

 

To get this resolved, you'll want to contact your bank and request that they'll allow QuickBooks bank connection. If the issue persist, ask your bank representative to escalate the case through our OFX Connectivity page for resolution. Just make sure to take note of your case or ticket number for future reference.

 

In the meantime, you'll have to upload your bank transactions manually into QuickBooks using Web Connect. Your bank may offer a few file format, pick QuickBooks Online data (QBO) format. This is formatted specifically for QuickBooks Online aside from using a CSV file.

 

Please know that you're always welcome to reply to this thread anytime if you have follow-up questions or concerns with bank connections. I'm more than happy to assist you. Take care and have a good one.

@ShiellaGraceA ....this morning I received 5 emails saying that this issue had been resolved, but it HAS NOT! I am STILL unable to reconnect my Nedbank accounts and receive the message:

Nedbank Personal & Business Banking blocks QuickBooks Online Edition from connecting with them.

Let them know you'd like to be able to connect QuickBooks Online Edition. Meanwhile, you can add a different connection. (155A)

I tried online chat AGAIN, but unfortunately the agent (besides telling me "not to worry"!!!) was unable to help!

Will this EVER be sorted out?

Thanks, @AlexV , but I didn't understand what was meant by OFX! I simply want this to work as it did in the past and I'm battling to understand why this is now an issue! According to the emails that I received this morning, the issue with error 155 "has been resolved" and I know that users that were connected to Nedbank are now connecting again. My issue is that I DISCONNECTED my accounts and now am unable to reconnect (I get the error 155A).
I am getting no help from QuickBooks. I am a bookkeeper and some of my clients bank with Nedbank. I cannot login to their online banking for obvious reasons and so my ability to do my work is GREATLY affected by this.
I posted several times as I am DESPERATE for a resolution. I am thinking of taking my business elsewhere

@RenjolynC 
Thanks for the reply. I do not wish to waste time with add-ons like OFX. I need QuickBooks to work as it should and that includes connecting to Nedbank. If this error has been resolved, then why am I still unable to reconnect my accounts and what is an error 155A?

I have a reference number from my online chat this morning (the one where the agent told me "not to worry"!)
The reference is 1579674884

Please escalate this problem as as far as I am concerned, this issue has not yet been resolved

Is there ANY update on this? I am still unable to reconnect my accounts and have had ZERO communication from QuickBooks.
This really is unacceptable

I hope you're having a good day, Shady84.

 

If you've contacted our QBO Support, and they linked your account to the investigation, you'll receive an update via email when this is resolved. I understand that you've been waiting for a resolution and would like to let you know that this is still under investigation. Therefore, please contact the said team if you haven't already.

 

In the meantime, you can consider uploading your transactions so you can still continue working on them.

 

Thank you for your patience. You're free to reach back out at any time you need help with QBO. Take care!

Hi Shaun,,

 

I'm here to share steps on how to contact our Phone Support team.

 

You can reach out our tema through the ? Help icon. Let me guide you with these steps:

 

  1. Click the ? Help icon.
  2. You may enter Unable to connect Nedbank as your keywords under Assistant.
  3. Select Not really.
  4. Click Contact Support Team.

 

In the meantime, you can upload the transactions manually.

 

Afterward, you're good to categorise them to their correct accounts. I've added this reference as your guide: Categorise transactions.

 

That should do it. Let me know if you have concerns with categorising items. I'm here to guide you.
