I have a similar problem that only started a week or so ago.

My Mettle account connected fine. However now I keep on getting the message:

Your Mettle (UK) connection has expired

UK Open Banking regulation requires you to authorise your bank connections every 90 days. Reconnect now to keep your transactions coming into QuickBooks.

I reconnect the account and it downloads the transaction, but then when I do off the banking screen and then return to it, once again, it says that the connection has expired. All my other bank accounts are fine and expire every 90 days as per the Open Banking rules. It is just Mettle Bank that is giving me the headache.

I would be interested to hear if anyone else has a similar problem; as I have already said, this is a recent phenomena as up until a few weeks ago (maybe more or less, I don't recall) the Mettle Bank feed was working fine.

Hi,

I am having a similar problem with connecting to Mettle. The connection keeps cancelling and when I try to reconnect through the app, it says (after approving in the Mettle app and returning to quickbooks app) '400: something unexpected happened'.

Previously, I have been able to log in via a browser and reconnect. This time, it has reconnected but will not upload the transactions. Under the Mettle account it now says:

We couldn’t display the consent status for this connection. Check back later for this info.

When I click on the 'manage consent' option, it again says 'something unexpected happened', with no error code. This is on the browser, not the app. I have cleared the cache and also tried a different browser, with same result.
