Reconciliation problem with Chase investment

PS9296

I have multiple Chase checking, savings and investment accounts. I am only having the following problem with one of them, and it's been going on for about 4 months. The others work just fine. I've used Quicken everyday for about 20 years, so I have practice with periodic tech issues. But, this one has stumped both Quicken & Chase tech teams.

I use Quicken for Mac, via the new annual subscription requirement, and do all the updates. Of course, I've tried to disconnect/re-connect the account multiple times, but it did not resolve the issue.

In one of 6 investment accounts, the "Online Balance" , for the reconciliation process, does not match the amount on Chase statements or Chase Website. It is off by exactly $4000. I can reconcile perfectly using the "Statement Balance". In other words, my Register has the right transactions and correct totals, but the daily download of "Online Balance" does not reflect what Chase has on its website.

Quicken says the "online balance" is a number received from Chase. Chase says the number on the website and statements are correct, so Quicken is posting the wrong amount in the "online balance"

Hello @PS9296,

I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing this issue with online balances. Thank you for taking this matter to the Quicken Community.

I just want to confirm: are there any large pending transactions in your online banking history? Also, do you know if there are any adjustments in the account that may be throwing off this balance? I am assuming that some of this may have been discussed with support teams in the past, given that you mention speaking with them, but it is worth revisiting.

Thanks,

I'm sorry to say that there are no adjustments or pending transactions. In fact, my register balance matches the numbers posted on the Chase's website for my account, hence I'm able to reconcile to the monthly statements.

The only number that is different is the "Online Balance" in the reconciliation process. I'm able to reconcile to this number daily for all other Quicken accounts. But, this one investment account is off by exactly $4000. And to make things more interesting, this account does not have any $4000 transactions.

Quicken support told me to call Chase because the "online balance" number is something received from Chase. Of course, Chase said to call Quicken. I think it's a Quicken problem because it started shortly after a "software update" last summer.

Thank you for responding again and keeping me informed. It is unfortunate that we weren't able to resolve the problem with that line of inquiry, but we'll keep looking into this. Do you know what Connection Type is being used? To determine this, go to the Account option in the menu at the top of the screen, then to Settings > Downloads.

Thanks,

Hi @PS9296,

Thank you for your response. Could you please try a test file using this specific Chase account and see if the same error occurs? 

You can do this by going to file>new and then adding the Chase account to this file. I would also recommend saving a backup first just to be safe. 

Please let us know what occurs. 

Thank you,
Quicken Jasmine

The test created an interesting result. The register amount was reduced by $4000 and it now matches the Online Balance. However, the statement reconciliation process is now off by $4000 and the portfolio does not match what Chase shows on their website...by $4000.
