Hi there,

I have been unsuccessfully trying to upload my bank statements (manually) from my Scotiabank account. It normally works like a charm without any problem but for some reason I get the “uploaded file isn’t a valid Web Connect file” error message. I made sure to download as .qbo file, have cleared my browser cache and still no change. What should I do?

One of the possible reasons why you're getting this error may be on your bank's end.  I'm here to help you sort this out, Marian.

 

You can contact your bank to check if they have ongoing issues or possible maintenance that prompts you not to manually upload your bank transactions. However, if the problem persists, I recommend contacting our support team to find out what's causing it. 

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online company
  2. Select (?) Help.

  3. Go to the Search tab, then type in Contact us.

Additionally, you can learn how to review categories after transactions are automatically downloaded. Go through this article for more details: Categorize Online Bank Transactions in QuickBooks Online.
