Hi Team. Is there any update on the issue above, please? I am having the same issue.

Hello Micaella,

I'm glad to see you dropping by here in the Community space. Allow me to chime in and share information about connecting Standard Bank to QuickBooks Online.

The post above is from the prior year and showing as closed and resolved by our backend team. However, we have a new investigation going on with Standard Bank regarding banking error 102.

Our engineering team is still working closely with Standard Bank Engineering Team to resolve the issue. For now, manually update the Banking Connection to check if the problem persists.

As we assess for a permanent resolution, the only workaround is to upload your banking data manually. This way, you can bring over bank transactions and avoid bulk categorizations.

I also suggest contacting our QuickBooks Support Team so they can add you to our list of affected users. Thus, you can receive live email updates about this issue.

Here's how you can reach them:

1. Click the Help tab in the upper-right corner.
2. Go to the Assistant tab.
3. Click Get help from a human.
4. Choose Chat with us. 

Additionally, we've compiled a list of bank errors you may encounter when using the bank feeds feature. I've attached the article you can use as a reference to fix banking issues in QuickBooks: Troubleshoot and fix banking errors.
