By Impran M N
Bank feed connections can drop due to expired tokens or bank-side changes, quietly leaving your books out of date. This guide shows how to identify and reconnect a broken bank feed in QuickBooks Online.
01Open Bank Transactions
Go to Transactions, then Bank Transactions, to see your connected account cards.
02Find the error
Look for the specific account card displaying a connection alert or error icon.
03Try a quick refresh
Click Update on the account panel to attempt a simple sync refresh first.
04Reconnect if the error persists
Click the Edit pencil icon on the account card, select Edit account info, then choose Fix Connection or Reconnect.
05Re-authorize and verify
Log in with updated bank credentials, complete any required MFA, map accounts, and confirm the feed resumes fetching transactions.
Frequently asked questions
Why did my bank feed suddenly stop working?
Common causes include expired security tokens, a password change on your bank's side, or temporary connection drops between QuickBooks and your bank.
Do I need to re-enter my bank login every time?
Only when reconnecting after a disconnect; QuickBooks otherwise maintains the secure token connection automatically.
What if the Update button doesn't fix the error?
Use the Fix Connection or Reconnect option from the account's Edit menu to launch the full reconnection wizard.
How do I confirm the feed is working again after reconnecting?
Check that your For Review queue starts populating with new transactions after completing the reconnection steps.
