Question

Quickbooks keeps directing me to PNC bank when I try to log in to Account view. How am I suppose to connect to Account view?

I can see that PNC chose to do a work around and forced me to set up a different account to my online banking portal to make it easier (instead of upgrading their technology).   The work around is called account view.  After going through the whole process on PNC's end, I try to link my new business card on Quickbooks.  linking up an account through Account View (aka PNC's frugal work around) and it is an option on quickbooks to select Account View.  However the log in for account view is not being accepted but it is accepting the PNC online banking log in.  this tells me that Quickbooks code needs to be updated and needs to point to the actual Account view log in and not the PNC online banking log in.  Who in quickbooks is listening and can get this bug fixed!!! I hate working with companies that cannot keep up with technology.  I can't wait for AI to take over these inept organizations.

Thank you for reaching out to the Community, asm212.

 

Sometimes, QuickBooks may not work properly because of the issues with your browser. We can help you by logging into your QBO account using a private browser.

 

To do this, follow these steps:

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N

If you can successfully log in using a private browser, go back to your regular browser and clear its cache.

so i followed your instructions.

1.  I opened quickbooks in incongnito

2.  logged in to quickbooks

3. tried to connect to PNC account view (hopefully with my account view log in)

4.  FAIL - i got the same error, it will not allow me to log in to account view, directs me to pnc online banking. 

 

I would like to reiterate, i think this is a coding errror that quickbooks needs to adjust asap.  I am bringing this bug to your attention, and writing about it a second time.

 

if you would like to reply with more links and more instructions, go for it, but i'm sure this will be the same error.

 

when i call your help hot line i get disconnected.  surprisingly this is the most efficient way to get help on quickbooks.  i use efficient loosely, because 24 hours and i still haven't resolved a simple problem.
