Hello there, @9506. I have some understanding of the error you are having with your bank connection in QuickBooks Online.
Before we get started, may I know what error message you received as you go along the process? This way, I can provide the exact solution to the issue you're encountering.
Now, here are some possible reasons why you can't connect your bank account:
The bank may not be a participating bank.
Your bank might not connect to all types of accounts (for example, personal accounts vs. business accounts).
The bank is undergoing system maintenance.
Some banks have multiple names on our list. You might want to check and select the correct one, or try all possible bank URLs.
You can contact your bank to see if there are any maintenance updates available or to request a QuickBooks connection. If everything goes well with your bank, be sure to connect the account using the correct bank name.
Yes we are experiencing the same issue from the 18th March 2022. This happened after receiving a planned maintenance reminder from QB. I have tried all past thread options to resolve, with no luck. Please can this be escalated, as the manual process is tedious. The error code reads as "
Something isn't working
Sorry, we can't update your account. Please wait a few hours and try updating again (155)."
Hello, This issue with Nedbank is STILL ongoing and I can get no intelligent information from QuickBooks. In fact on my last chat, the agent just abruptly ended the chat when I asked to speak to someone who could actually answer my questions! When I tried to reconnect my accounts today, I received a notification that Nedbank does not connect to QBO! Is this now a permanent situation? Do I have to change banks?
I'm here to share some troubleshooting steps so you'll be able to connect Nedbank in Quickbooks Online.
As I've checked, the earlier investigation had already been closed and resolved. Did you get any error messages when connecting your bank account? Any information you provide will assist me in finding the best solution to the problem.
For now, you can log in to your bank website and check if there are no messages or prompts to action. Once done, you can clear your browser's cache to eliminate any collected site data and force the system to refresh. Alternatively, use an incognito window to access your QuickBooks Online account.
With all due respect @DebSheenD ......this issue could not possibly have been resolved. According to all of the online agents I contacted today, it is still ongoing. So either they were telling me untruths in order for me to stop bothering them, or they are not aware of the latest status.....both of which are a bit concerning.
The Investigation number is 69542 which, according to the online chat agents, is still active and being "investigated"!
I have followed all the steps that you suggest below (several times over the last few weeks) and they do not resolve the issue
When my accounts would no longer download from Nedbank, I disconnected them and then tried to reconnect. It has been nearly 3 weeks now and still no joy. It went from giving me an error 155, to telling me to "try again later" to now telling me that Nedbank "blocks QuickBooks" and that I should contact Nedbank to let them know that I would "like to be able to connect"! (see attached screenshot for your info)
So, it seems that what was at first an issue that QBO was trying to resolve, has now become a case of "we can't fix it so we won't bother"
I am not interested in downloading CSV files from the bank and then spending ages trying to reformat them so that they will import into QBO. I have tried that before and it has never worked. It is a waste of my time.....I have several companies that I look after and this is not a productive use of my time.
What I would REALLY like is for this issue to be resolved and for the Nedbank bank feed to function as it used to do (and as it should do)
Hi. @pieter1 Sadly, QuickBooks has no solution for this issue. They can only offer instructions on how to manually add transactions or upload CSV files! Beyond that, they either tell you that they "understand your frustration", that they are "working on it", that you should "contact Nedbank" or they just abruptly exit a chat when you ask to speak with someone who can actually give you some useful information. Sadly, it seems that if you are unlucky to bank with Nedbank (or, in my case, have clients who bank with Nedbank) you are on your own.
So I guess it's back to the good old days of working off bank statements and manually entering every transaction (that whole CSV upload thing has NEVER worked for me and I refuse to even entertain wasting my time on it) Shame on you, QuickBooks
