Thanks for posting here in the QuickBooks Support page, @thegirls.

 

I can share some steps on how you can resolve this error 185 in your account. To explain further, the bank error 185 happens if your bank requires more information like additional security requirements.

 

To fix error 185, follow the imstructions below:

  • Security questions: If your bank or FI asks you a security question, enter your answer. You may see this error again the next time you update if you have multiple security questions. As you enter your answers, QuickBooks Online remembers the security questions you have been asked and answers for you.
  • One-time password (OTP): If your bank or FI asks for an OTP, get your OTP (on a device, through text, call, etc.), and enter it each time you see Error 185.

 

If it doesn't self resolve the problem, toggle your login using the steps below:

 

  1. Open a private window.
  2. Go to the Banking menu then find the account that is not updating.
  3. Click on the pencil icon then select Edit sign-in info.
  4. Input your log in credentials, then click Update.

 

If it doesn't fix it, I recommend getting in touch with our Support Team. Only our live support can handle account-related concerns and bank escalations. This is to protect your account from fraudulent activities in this public page.
