Thanks for posting here in the Community, info

 

At this time, our product engineers are aware about our customers being unable to use the program when syncing bank feeds. I want you to know that they are updating the system for PSD2, a new banking rule. This is to ensure we are compliant with the Irish law and regulations.

 

As an alternative, you can manually enter bank transactions through your account register.

 

PSD2 aims to improve life for financial services customers. This covers people that have bank accounts, loans and credit cards, such as small business owners, just like you. Here are some benefits of PSD2 once it’s implemented in QuickBooks:

  • You can save time by connecting accounts and credit cardsThis way, it will automatically upload transactions as they happen.
  • The software matches sales to invoices and costs to expenses. This means you'll just have to approve the entries and move on.
  • You can add unlimited bank and credit card accounts so you’re in complete control.

 

Check out this article: Open Banking and PSD2. This link provides more information about the rule overview, how it affects your business and the impacts on the market.

 

Please know that I’m here anytime you have other concerns. Take care always, info.

Seeing that Intuit is aware of this error, when is this issue likely to be resolved for EU customers? We are having the same error with our AIB bank feed in Ireland. Automatic banking feeds is part of the service subscribers pay for so it should be fixed quickly otherwise refunds should be issued for monthly subscribers.

Another frustrated user, very unhappy about the value the software is providing without open banking working. I agree with other members here and believe all customers affected by this issue should receive at least a  discount until this issue is resolved. I'm paying upwards of €35 per month, mostly to avoid losing historical data. I'm unable to use the software as intended and noone from QB are willing to issue an eta.  Leaving us Irish users in limbo.

Hi SeanVinnySmalls,


I know many users use Online Banking, one of the time-saver features in QuickBooks Online.


I can assure you that our engineers are working on an update related to Open Banking and PSD2. Please note that QuickBooks and the financial intuitions are involved in this change. However, I’m relaying to your feedback about our timeline, as this is what others would want to know as well.


In the meantime, you can consider the option to upload your bank transactions. You can do it on a weekly or monthly basis, depending on the quantity of the transactions you process.


Thank you for your understanding. If you’d like to add feedback, I will listen to it.

Are there any updates on the development of a fix? This just feels like a step back in time, its like using quickbooks from the turn of the century!

Uploading manually is not what we are paying for. As a gesture of good will will you issue a refund or put us Irish AIB users on a 50% discount until the issue is fixed?

Hello, @gmartin.

 

At this time, we haven't received updates from our engineering team about this issue. However, I will take note of your experience and personally send it to them.

 

Also, you may reach out to our QuickBooks Online (QBO) Support Team to stay updated with this matter.

 

Leave a comment below if you have any other questions. I'm happy to help however I can. Have a wonderful day!

I think it's absolutely ridiculous that this stopped working in September, we're now in February and still no real indication of when this will be resolved. What is the hold-up? Are QB developers working on this or is it just on a do list? If the problem is not worth their attention within four months. Our subscriptions are clearly not valued.

This function is one of the core reasons I use the software and without it the experience is extremely clunky and overpriced. I'm at the end of my tether and consider cancelling my subscription frequently. The only thing keeping me here is the historical data and hopes that if I wait long enough this will be resolved but I'm strongly beginning to doubt that.

Your business means a lot to us, @SeanVinnySmalls.

 

I know how you feel about going through that problem for several months. I want to make sure that this will be taken care of right away. 

 

QuickBooks Online relay on the information shared from your bank. So, in this case, I suggest contacting your bank to determine if open banking is already enabled. 

 

Rest assured that I'm making it my top priority that your feedback reaches our Product Development Team. They will use these suggestions when considering how to enhance QuickBooks.

 

I appreciate your patience. Take good care always, SeanVinnySmalls.

Thanks Michelle,

I have spoken to my bank's customer care team. They say open banking is fully operational and point me to here: https://developer.aib.ie/api-product-overview-ROI

 

As you are probably aware my bank have added an extra step to their login/authentication process. To be in line with new legislation for PSD2. Until I'm explicitly told that open banking between my bank and QB can't possibly be achieved from the developers. I can only assume that they haven't yet really tried or that they've deemed it too low priority. 

 

Needless to say I don't fancy waiting another four months for some form of resolution.

Is it possible to get an updated statement from somebody on the Product Development team? 

 

All the best,

Sean
