Investec Not Connectivity

Hi,

The Investec connectivity is not running seamlessly.  The update does not occur regularly each day.  One is required to click the "Update" button. 

But then an error message pops up - More security info required, Fix now

I have contacted Investec who assure me all rights are correct and allocated appropriately.

When clicking "Fix Now" it takes you to a screen where a PIN is sent to the banking user.  Regardless of whether the PIN is authorized or not, you can then click "Done" and the download proceeds.

Is anybody else experiencing this issue with the Investec link, which has been going on for over a month now.

Thanks in advance.

Investec Not Connectivity

Hi there, @Robyne. I can certainly understand how frustrating it is to deal with a manual workaround for over a month, especially when you’ve already taken the time to coordinate with Investec support. It’s clear you’ve done your due diligence to get this running seamlessly again.

 

Please rest assured that we want to get this sync back on track so you don't have to keep hitting that "Fix Now" loop. At this time, we aren't seeing similar reports from other Investec users, which suggests this is likely an isolated connection issue rather than a broad system outage. Typically, this happens when a bank updates its security protocols. While your bank may see that your permissions are active on their end, the connection between their system and QuickBooks hasn’t fully synced to meet those new requirements.

 

The "more security info required" message indicates a timing mismatch in the authentication process. When you click the done button before the bank's security layer fully confirms your PIN, QuickBooks gets just enough permission to pull your data once, but it doesn't receive the permanent digital key needed to keep the door open for your daily automated syncs.

 

Since this has been ongoing for a month, I want to make sure we move past the standard troubleshooting. I strongly recommend contacting our live support team. They can go behind the scenes to look at your connection logs and see exactly where the "automated sync" command is being rejected. This will allow them to reset that digital handshake and get your bank feeds back to 100% automation.

 

We’ll get this back on track so you can get back to business. If you have any other QuickBooks concerns, please drop a comment down below.

Thanks Lynn.  I have spoken to somebody on the live support team who insisted that it was an Investec issue.  (The problem apparently started when there was a change over from the QB side to a new method of interacting with the banks).

I investigated further with our personal banker at Investec who followed up with the tech team. They insisted that from their end everything is in order and our rights are correct.

I am now at my wits end and considering changing accounting systems if we cannot get it sorted out promptly.

Could you suggest who specifically I can contact please?
