is anyone else still having problems with connection to Monzo bank? QuickBooks is becoming a headache and a complete waste of time

I understand your concern when things don’t work as expected, brook. Let’s review the Monzo bank connection issue and ensure everything runs smoothly.

Before we move forward, could you provide more details about the issues you're experiencing with Monzo Bank? Are your bank transactions failing to update, or are you encountering challenges while connecting to QuickBooks? Any extra details you provide will help us assist you better.

Now, if your transactions aren't updating, you can manually download them to refresh the connection. You can navigate to the Transactions page and select Bank Transactions. Click Refresh. If the issue continues, sign in to your bank's website and check for the following:  

• Messages, notifications, or alerts on your account.
• Display issues on the website that might block QuickBooks from downloading transactions.
• Announcements about new security requirements.

In the meantime, you can manually upload your transactions as a temporary way to track your statements. Keep in mind that imported transactions can cause duplicates if QuickBooks automatically downloads them later. If duplicates appear, simply exclude them.

Alternatively, if you can't connect your bank, here are some possible reasons why it may not link to online banking:

• Your bank may appear under a different name in QuickBooks.
• Not all types of accounts are supported for connections.
• Your bank is not a participating financial institution.
