My connection to Metro was working on Monday 27th March... since then I've had a message 'Unavailable'. I have spoken to Metro on a number of occasions and received different answers:

-  they don't support QB

-  it's a known issue and we are working on it 

 

I have discounted my link but no cannot reconnect  but no success.

 

Any thoughts would be most helpful....

Hi nicholasthurlow-, thanks for joining the Community. We're aware of an issue in which customers attempting to update their connection or connect a Metro Bank (UK) account for the first time are unable to do so and are seeing an error message  "Metro Bank (UK) - Personal and Business is not available - Under maintenance". Our team are currently working to resolve this, and we've added you to the investigation (INV-85769 - Metro Bank (UK)-Error 102- Personal and Business is not available) so that you'll receive all updates going forward via email.

Can you add me to the list too. 

 

This is still ongoing. Looks like when QB is trying to connect, MetroBank then text a code to enable access (2FA?) and there isn't anywhere to enter this in the QB interface.

Hello, Daryl6. 

 

I checked your post and found that you raised a similar concern in another thread. My colleague already responded to the identical one. You can view her response by clicking on this link.

Once resolved and re-connected, your transactions will automatically be downloaded. All you have to do is review and/match them to the existing entries in QuickBooks to keep your account updated. For the step-by-step guide, you can refer to this article: Categorise online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.
