After entering my login credentials for Wells Fargo account, it takes me to the page that says “Upgrade your browser now for access”. I followed the onscreen instruction to upgrade my browser before trying Bank Feeds again but kept being taken to the same “Upgrade your browser” screen.
Bank Feeds works for my other accounts only Well Fargo accounts have this issue. Also, Wells Fargo accounts worked fine last week I just started having the problem today.

Not sure how to fix this… Thanks in advance for the help!

Let's get this working to make sure that your Wells Fargo account is added to your company file, EncoreS.

 

 I'll be sharing some steps as well that can resolve browser-related issues in QuickBooks Desktop. Here's how:

 

  1. Open Internet Explorer.
  2. Go to the Gear or Tools icon ⚙, then select Internet options.
  3. Select Advanced, and scroll down to the Security section.
  4. See if you have TLS 1.2 checked. If not, select the box to turn it on.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Exit all open applications on your computer.

 

Check out this article for more details: TLS 1.2 for QuickBooks Desktop for Windows.

 

Once done, go back to QuickBooks and add your Wells Fargo account again. In any case that you're getting the same error, you can open these articles for additional troubleshooting steps: 

 

  1. Run the Install Diagnostic from the QuickBooks Tools Hub.
  2. Run a repair of your installation files.
  3. Clean install QuickBooks Desktop.

 

I'd also like to share a couple more articles that can serve as your guide and reference when using the QuickBooks Bank Feeds:

It's not just Wells Fargo; other banks are affected as well.  It is nothing that can be fixed "by clicking, checking, or resetting" something.  I've been contacting Quickbooks for months as they use the unsupported and unsafe Internet Explorer 11 for their base.  I would have thought that when the 22.0 version came out, this would have been changed.  Until you have an actual solution to this, please don't have your customers do the useless steps you have outlined.

I was just told i had to buy and download their most recent product Desktop Pro Plus 2022, but low and behold - bank feeds still does not work!   Same error message, must "Upgrade Browser" on the QB site.   

 

Finally, was told after collective 4-5 hours working w/ support that Bank Feeds only works on IE, but most major banking institutions no longer support IE! 

 

Wish i would have seen your post initially, but i'm dumbfounded as to why QB support just doesn't quickly explain the problem.  This has been 4 weeks of calling repeatedly w/o QB blaming Wells Fargo.

The Truth Comes Out!!!!!   

 

To say i'm annoyed is an understatement!  After weeks of calling Intuit and Wells Fargo and 2 months since I've been able to download bank feeds, i was finally told by Intuit that i had to download the newest version of QB Pro Plus 2022 Desktop b/c i know longer had support.  $300 later and newest QB software - still not able to connect to wells fargo and download 'bank feeds".  Same message as always: Browser not supported and must upgrade browser!

 

Tonight after another 1 1/2 hours online with intuit support, I was finally told:  MOST FINANICAL INSTITUTIONS NO LONGER SUPPORT "INTERNET EXPLORER" AND THAT IS THE DEFAULT BROWSER THAT QUICKBOOKS USES.   

 

The long and short of it:   until QB upgrades their system to run on something other than Internet Explorer, bank feeds won't work.  I was told to start "importing".

I had the same issue with Wells Fargo and had to pay our organizations Tech Company $125 an hours (their fee) in order to get my Wells Fargo records downloaded into Quick Books.  I have found the problem is that Quick Books uses the outdated Internet Explorer only and Wells Fargo does not accept it.  My tech was able to download the records by using a different method available on the Wells Fargo website......but I don't understand what he did.  Our Tech support is from Karls Technology (602) 445-9862.  The wonderful Teach I worked with was Zach.
