Fifth Third Bank continues to error [edited]

No!

What is going on between Quicken and Fifth Third Bank and why has it been more than a week since whatever problem that exists has not been corrected? It is beginning to appear that Fifth Third Bank is the problem since no other banks or financial institutions are creating any problems within Quicken. Please stop giving the canned answers that you are currently giving and provide a level of detail that allows users to assess whether to find other solutions to this unacceptable level of service. Since this is not the first time Fifth Third Bank has broken download and upload capabilities, I am wondering whether it makes more sense to just do my online banking with another bank that will provide a better level of online support?

Mine is now functional like it was before yesterday. My direct connection is resolved and my four accounts were found and linked to existing accounts. Balances are correct.

Hello All,

Thank you all for taking the time to visit the Community and report the error you are experiencing with Fifth Third Bank, though we apologize for the trouble.

After further investigation and review of log files, we have found that this is a problem that stems from the financial institution's server and we ask that anyone experiencing this error please reach out to Fifth Third Bank directly first. In the image displayed below, you will find the internal error that is causing the external OL-220 error.

You can find this in your own logs by navigating to Help > Log Files > Open Connection Log [CONNLOG.TXT] > Scroll to the bottom for the most recent timestamps.

We recommend that you also provide your logs to Fifth Third Bank while contacting them to report the error for proper escalation. Meanwhile, this issue will also be reported to the proper channels on our end as well.

We apologize for any inconvenience this error may cause in the meantime! Thank you.

Everyone,

The issue with getting the OL-220-A error when connecting to Fifth Third Bank seems to be with the Direct Connect method. I deactivated each of my four accounts and then set them up fresh again. I was able to connect to 53 and my accounts were found. I linked the four accounts to my existing accounts in Quicken and all of my transactions were downloaded and up to date.

I went back and looked at the Online Services tab and each of the accounts that previously showed Direct Connect now show Web Express Connect. There was text indicating that there was an improved connection method. I went through that process to set up the improved method. Turns out that method is Direct Connect and is required to do bill pay. When I attempted to change to the Direct Connect method I received the OL-220-A error again. I have found it easier to pay bills from the 53 web site.

So the issue seems to be with Direct Connect. If you leave the connection method at Web Express Connect everything seems fine and transactions download using One-Step Update.

In April 2020 when a connection problem occurred, it took Fifth Third Bank a month to resolve the issue. So don't think this will be a quick fix. Hope this helps.

Today, I could no longer connect with one step update to my Fifth Third accounts. Quicken program asked me if I have recently changed my 53 password which I have not. So, I proceeded to download QFX files for my four accounts at 53 via the 53 web site. Afterwards, Quicken was not listed as a Financial Institution that was available in the one-step update list. I have tried to re-enable 53 direct connect but am prompted for a unique "Internet Banking ID and Password" that is NOT the same as the "login to the Fifth Third Bank Web site."

Your Quicken login is the same as your login to the Fifth Third Bank Web site.
Please use your Fifth Third Internet Banking ID and Password to access Quicken.

Those prompts are misleading. "Quicken login" implies the login to the Quicken program or Quicken website. I assure you I don't use the same username and/or ID for Quicken and my banks. I called Fifth Third and they said they have had multiple calls on this and it in not coming from their end but from Quicken. Is anyone else having this issue?

This is the prompt

I too am unable to log into 53 Bank from Quicken. It tells me there is an error and asks if I have changed my password. I said "no" and signed in again. Same error. Went back and said "yes" to sign in again. Same error. Told me to sign in on 53 site and then sign into Quicken. Back to same error. What's up?

And another prompt...

It is now reporting an OL-332-A "Your login information in Quicken is incorrect. Clicking Fix It takes me to a dialog box where I enter my CORRECT online password and it fails.

I was able to get Express Web Connect to work but cannot get Direct Connect to work. Be careful though. Somehow, between the OFX download and the Express Web Connect setup, my initial balances of two of my Fifth Third accounts were changed to my current bank balance. You will have to go to the beginning of your register to correct it.

I am having the same issues. Out of the Blue. I deactivated and reactivated my accounts which seems tonhave worked for now. But when I look at my accounts it states "improve connection". But when I click on it I am getting the same messages as stated above that I don't have the correct signon/password.

ricklynchcore

Same as above, out of the blue no direct connect

griffijm

Having same issue as of 4/29/21 8:22 am

I did the deactivate/activate steps. I can now download but my account balance is screwed up. It put an opening balance transaction in so I deleted it. My balance is still messed up even after deleting the opening balance.

Bonzo

Same problem here. Cannot update accounts. Problem began 04/29. Says password is wrong. I can log onto web site fine.

Bob M

I had the same problem with new account opening balance. In addition, when opening my accounts under "tools" and using the edit function I have now noticed that all of my account numbers and routing numbers are GONE! They have been replaced with signon information. Ugh!!

I am having the problem as of this morning

Same!!!

Lindamoto

Same problem, but when I did the deactivate/reactivate, I mistakenly duplicated several accounts. The duplicated accounts will update but not the originals, and I don't know how to merge them! Any ideas?

Dan19

It started working for me at 1:00 as well but now I am getting a new error.

Bonzo

It's working again for me. Checked at 5:30 CDT

Mine is now functional like it was before yesterday. My direct connection is resolved and my four accounts were found and linked to existing accounts. Balances are correct.
