unable to import bank transactions from WF into quickbooks online and the bank won't reconnect.

When a Wells Fargo connection stops downloading transactions or won't reconnect, the most common causes are a change on your bank's side, like an outage, a required message you need to act on, or updated sign-in info, so start there before anything else.

Check your Wells Fargo connection at the source

Go to All apps, then Accounting, then Bank transactions.
Select Link account. You won't add a new account here, you just need the listed URL for your bank.
Copy the URL listed for Wells Fargo, then sign in to Wells Fargo directly using that URL in a new tab.
If you can sign in without any errors, check your account for any messages, notifications, or required actions, and look for anything that might look like a display issue as you browse. These can silently block QuickBooks from downloading new transactions.

Update your sign-in info if anything changed

Go to All apps, then Accounting, then Bank transactions.
Select the tile for your Wells Fargo account.
Select the Edit icon, then Edit sign-in info.
Enter your current Wells Fargo login details, then select Save and connect.

If you've already cleared your browser's cache, tried an incognito window, and tested a different browser (all good troubleshooting steps) and the connection still won't come back, reach out to QuickBooks Online Support so they can review the specific connection on your account.

Hello meliisa41 and TH76,

Welcome back to the QuickBooks Community! Could you verify what error you are getting and what happens when you try to manually import those WF transactions? I am seeing a few ongoing investigations, but I would like to know which one is associated with your current issue.

I am looking forward to seeing your responses! Thank you in advance!

It gave an error code 309 when trying to update the bank transactions. WF has said that their site path is now different from the Wells Fargo CEO portal previously. We used to be able to put the bank url in there but that is gone. The only two choices in trying to reconnect are Wells Fargo and Wells Fargo Vantage and neither of those is working. I cleared the browsing data, tried a different browser and tried an incognito browser and it is still not working.

Hello there, @TH76.

I understand the importance of updating your Wells Fargo bank transactions in your QBO account. I'm here to guide you in getting the best help available.

I recommend verifying directly with Wells Fargo for the exact platform you should use. Sometimes, financial institutions have specialized URLs or specific platforms for certain types of accounts. You can contact their support and ask if their integration with QuickBooks is stable. Ensure that there are no pending alerts or actions required on your Wells Fargo online account that might impact the connection with QuickBooks.

If everything is good on your bank's side and you're still experiencing the same issue, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Online live support to investigate this case further.

Additionally, here are some articles that can help you troubleshoot banking concerns in QuickBooks Online:

Hello,

If you can't synchronize, a workaround would be to import the transactions in CSV into quickbooks

If you only have PDFs, you can convert them with this Bank Statement Converter

Thanks for joining the Community, pmart12345.

If you've performed the troubleshooting processes covered in this thread but are still having connectivity issues with your bank account, I'd recommend getting in touch with our Customer Care team.

Once you're in touch with an agent, you can inform them of the connectivity problem with your bank account. They'll be able to pull up your account in a secure environment, review any existing investigations about it and discuss them with you.

They can be reached while you're signed in.

Here's how:

Use the Help option.
In QB Assistant, enter your question or topic. You can also access the Search tab and enter keywords.
After searching, in QB Assistant you can type in "Talk to an expert" to get options for expert help. If you're on your Search screen, select Contact us.

Be sure to review their support hours so you'll know when agents are available.

Please don't hesitate to send a reply if there's any questions. Have a great Wednesday!
