OL and OLSU Bank Feed Errors Reasons
This QuickBooks Desktop online banking and

  financial institution).
• Your bank may have changed their services, Web
  Connect or Direct Connect.

  name, and that needs to be refreshed in
  QuickBooks.

  and that is enabled for Online Banking in QB.

  connection.

  in your QB company file.

To meet the bank requirement, you should log in
to your bank account using a system other than

contacted if needed.

  Company, and then Express start.

Step 4 Create a new account and merge accounts
Sometimes the accounts you are customizing may be
the reason behind these issues. If such a scene
arises, you should remove all pending
transactions, create a new account and merge them.
Note If you are unable to merge accounts then
your data file might be damaged. You can speak to
a QuickBooks expert. If you were able to merge
accounts and issue is still there, perform step 5.

services.
If you own more than one account set up for
online banking services, these steps will help
you identify the source accounts in your company
file. Sometimes, if you have only one account
with an error that keeps it from connecting to
the bank, this may not allow your online accounts
to work.
Note This process can be time consuming if you
have multiple accounts set up for online banking.

• Choose the Include inactive checkbox at the
  bottom of the Chart of Accounts window.
• For all inactive accounts, deactivate Bank
  Feeds and close and reopen the file.
• Set up every account for Bank Feeds.
• Contact QuickBooks Technical Support (users in
  the USA and Canada), in case you are not able to
  deactivate Bank Feed Settings for your accounts.
  It may happen because of corrupt or damaged date.
• Move to step 6 if the above solution didnt fix
  the error.
