Banking error 101 how to fix it? as it always says "try again in few hours"

Let's resolve the error you've encountered to successfully connect your bank, hoopssshk.

You’ll encounter this error 101 when trying to add a bank with no valid account from your online banking account that satisfies at least one of the criteria below:

• No transactions for the last 12 months.
• Unable to accept the terms and agreements from your online banking website.

If there's no problem on your bank account’s end, I suggest reaching out to our Customer Support Team. They have the tools to check the connection between your bank and QuickBooks in a safe and secure environment. 

Here's how to reach them:

1. First, tap the Help icon to connect to a support agent. 
2. Click on Contact Us button to email your concern. 
3. Tick on Start an email button on the window that appears.
4. Provide your account information and some insight about this concern.
5. Lastly, click on Send email button. 

You can also check this article on how to manually upload your bank transactions into QBO. 

I'm always here if you still have questions with your bank connection and or anything else, by leaving a comment below. Take care and enjoy the rest of the week. 

I've completed the steps here:

Also, meet the other criteria of having transactions for the last 12 months. (daily)

What next? I contacted support and they sent me this link. 

Thanks for letting us know about your situation, Adolphus.

If you can log in to your bank's website without a problem, and all the prompts are acknowledged, then I'll share a different solution that you can try. 

Let's do some troubleshooting steps on your browser. You might have some corrupted file cache that is causing this error. To start, open your QuickBooks Online account in a private browser or incognito. This mode prevents your browsing history from being stored. You can use the keyboard shortcuts below: 

• Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
• Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Safari: Command + Option + P

Next, try to connect your bank. If you can connect without the error, let's go back to your regular browser and clear its cache. Finally, restart your browser to refresh the settings.

On the other hand, try using a different supported browser.  

You also have the option to import your bank transactions manually. The steps are included in this article: Manually upload transactions into QuickBooks Online. If you ever encountered issues with importing the transactions, you can perform some of the troubleshooting steps here. 

Please let me know of the result after trying out the steps above. I'd also like to know what's the name of your bank, so I can check if there's a reported issue. You can leave a reply below and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Stay safe!

Already did all of that via live chat support with QB, who used screen share (SmartLook) feature to guide me through Incognito mode. Didn't work same error. Like I said the issue is not on my end. Only QuickBooks has the issue. They escalated and I'm awaiting follow-up from support.

thanks

I am having issues connecting acorns. What do I do? 

Hi there, Vball girl.

I'm here to ensure you'll be able to connect your Arcons account in QuickBooks Online( QBO).

I'd like to verify if you received an error when connecting to your Arcons account? This way, I can provide the exact resolution about it.

The issue you received can be related to the saved cached and site history stored in your browser. Let's clear them so you can connect and download your bank account successfully. To do so, let's start by using a private or incognito window of your browser. 

Here are the shortcut keyboards:

• Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
• Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Safari: Command + Shift + N

Then go to the banking menu again. If you're able to connect without any issues, go back to your regular browser and then clear its cache and cookies to start over fresh. Alternatively, you can switch to another supported browser.

Once connected, you're good to categorize the items. Here's an article as your guide: Categorize and match online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.

Drop me a message below to update your banking connection concern. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Take care!

I get error message 101. I had my account linked already but it had issues keeping it updated on Mint. So to fix that issue, they asked me to login to my acorns account again.  When I went to verify my information, I put in my login information and then when it would go to connect I would get error message 101. I then deleted the account and tried adding it back onto Mint and I got the same error message. I have tried this on my tablet, web browser on my phone and through the app and I get the same error message.
