Question

Bank Error Code 103 - Venmo acct will not connect

All of the sudden, the connection with my Venmo account was apparently lost and Quickbooks will not reconnect.  I have followed all of the steps in your help sections, community responses, etc etc with the same result, Error code 103. I have, multiple times, verified the login info with Venmo. I have logged out of my Venmo and logged back in multiple times with the correct info, then tried logging in/connecting the account on Quickbooks with the correct info multiple times with the same result: Error code 103.  I have received texts with codes to enter on Quickbooks and have done this multiple times with the same result, Error code 103.  I have meticulously confirmed the info being entered each time is accurate with the same result, Error code 103.

Please fix this.

I understand the urgency of restoring the connection with Venmo in QuickBooks Online, @jadedaut and @prestigeproperty.

 

Currently, there's an ongoing investigation related to the Venmo connection issue. We assure you that our Product Engineers are diligently working to pinpoint the cause and find a solution. I recommend contacting our phone or chat support to be added to the affected users list. Please provide your name, updated email address, and the investigation number (INV-93253) to receive email updates only when interacting with our live support.

 

As of now, here's how to categorize online bank transactions and manually upload your bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.

This is driving me crazy. I can sporadically manage to successfully link my Venmo account but on the rare occasion this happens, within 5 mins I get an error message to “fix the issue” and I’m right back to error 103 AGAIN.  So almost all of my accounts pay via Venmo so if I can’t link my Venmo and transactions then there’s no point in using this service. I’ve done all the little tricks and I am not uploading my transactions bc that’s a pain and this service is suppose to make my life a little

easier and I’m more frustrated than anything. PLEASE FIX THIS VENMO ERROR 103 error PLEASE

Hi there, Poolgirl51.

I have talked and talked and spoke again with yet another agent and still nothing. This is ridiculous. I have told others that if they use Venmo DO NOT GET QUICKBOOKS bc it’s a waste of money if your primary payment method by customers is Venmo bc you all hive the same scripted answers and we are all left still frustrated and paying for a useless service. You are going to start losing customers and fast. What’s the deal? This is what yall do. So fix this PLEASE

I'm experiencing the same issue as well. As a self-employed musician, most of my gig payments come via Venmo. If Intuit can't resolve this issue soon, I don't see how I can continue to pay for this service.

Just got off the phone with support. They suggested it could be a cache & cookies issue. Opened up in an incognito window in Chrome (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N), logged in, did the Fix Now, and was prompted for a 6 digit verification code. Entered. It asked again. Then it gave me a nice green check mark. Went back to my normal window and refreshed. Still showed a damaged connection. Clicked to fix. Took me to the phone verification code. Entered once. And all is good. So, you can try deleting cache/cookies for QBO, or just do the process in an incognito window then in a normal window.
