Ongoing QuickBooks Online (web, mobile) Updated November 13, 2026Based on 5 user reportsHow we research
Quick answer
QuickBooks bank feeds usually stall because the bank connection needs a refresh, new credentials or a bank-side outage. Click Update, check the bank site, then disconnect and reconnect only if the error persists.
Most likely fix: Refresh the connection

1. Refresh the connection
- Go to Bank transactions (Banking).
- Select Update next to the account.
- Wait a few minutes; errors 102 and 105 usually clear on their own within about a day.
