I am trying to connect my banking information to the accounts section. I have entered my banking ID and passcode and it sends me to a page which states I have to put in an OTP or token code but I have not received any in an email or SMS notification. I cannot get past it so I can continue to finish set up my account

When connecting your bank account to QuickBooks Online (QBO), certain financial institutions require additional security checks, urbanflavaas. I'll provide the details below.

 

These includes OTP (One-Time Password) or token codes. The process varies depending on your specific bank. If you're not receiving the OTP or token code via email or SMS, this could be an issue with your bank's security system rather than with QBO.

 

However, there could be other reasons you're not receiving the security code on your mobile phone. You can check the following:

 

  • Make sure that you've input the correct phone number. In some cases, Intuit will display the phone number (or the last digits) to which the verification code was sent.
  • Verify that your phone can receive SMS. Sometimes, if you are roaming or in an area with poor reception, you may experience delays.
  • Confirm that your phone plan allows you to receive messages from short codes (5-digit numbers).

 

Additionally, verify that the email address you provided is associated with your bank account. Check your spam or junk folders to ensure the OTP wasn't filtered there.

 

If the issue persists, I recommend reaching out your bank's customer support for further troubleshooting.

 

In the meantime, to avoid interruptions in your workflow, I'll provide a resource that helps you continue your work while we resolve your bank connectivity issue: Manually upload transactions into QuickBooks Online.
