QBO and Bank Connection

I can share a way to fix this, OiMedia.

Error 103 happens when your banking credentials in QuickBooks Online don't match the bank account you're trying to connect to. Let's ensure to enter the correct user ID and password for your bank. You can log in to your bank website by opening a new window on your browser to confirm bank access. If you're unable to log in, please try to connect to your HDFC bank again. I'll show you how.

1. Go to the Banking menu.
2. If you're connecting for the first time, select Connect account on the landing page. Or click Link account if you've already connected online banking accounts.
3. In the Search field, you can enter your bank's web address or enter your bank's name.
4. Choose the correct bank account in the search result.
5. If your web browser auto-fills the user ID and password field, you can clear them to ensure it doesn't put the old info.
6. Manually enter your user ID and password for your bank. If your bank offers a Show option, select it so you can confirm you entered the password correctly.
7. Hit Continue.
8. Your bank should connect successfully now. If you see error 103 again, select Go back. Repeat steps 4 through 7 with a different option from the search results.

In addition, I've included this helpful material to ensure your downloaded bank transactions are put in the correct accounts in QuickBooks Online: Categorise and match online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.

Let me know if you have further questions about bank feeds. I'm always here to help you.

Thanks for the prompt response.
However, I have been through Steps 4 through 7 several times with various options of the same bank but to not avail.

I am able to log directly into the bank portal with the exact same credentials!

Please help.

The Live Chat with Ryan was also inconclusive.
After an excruciating Q&A, he said, "I will be endorsing this case to the engineers."
