Why does my quickbooks bank connection say null under manage connectionsEven after refresh

Thank you for joining the thread, Steward. I will provide all the information regarding the null bank connection in QuickBooks Online.

Here are some reasons why you're receiving a null error message when connecting or refreshing your bank:

• There's a scheduled maintenance of your financial institution.
• Incorrect login credentials.
• Network settings are configured, and there are no firewall issues that might prevent QuickBooks from accessing your bank’s server.

Furthermore, the null error message occurs during runtime and can be related to problems with browser resources or syncing. To fix this issue, I recommend accessing your account in your browser's incognito mode and repeating the actions that led to the error message.

Follow these steps to access incognito mode:

• Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N 
• Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + N 
• Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P 
• Safari: Command + Shift + N 

Once done, I recommend double-checking the URL for the bank's website. I can guide you through the following steps to help you:

1. Go to Banking from the left menu. 
2. Select Add account.
3. On your bank website, copy the URL and then paste it into the Enter your bank name or URL search box.
4. Choose the bank emblem. 
5. Manually enter your User ID and Password for the bank website.
6. Click Continue.
7. Complete the extra security verification and select Connect.
8. Select the Account type drop-down menu for your bank account.
9. Click Connect.

Also, verify if there are messages, notifications, or alerts in your account in QBO. This can help you quickly identify and resolve any issues affecting your experience.
