Bank of America & Quicken for Mac

Dave6830

After several attempts to connect my Quicken for Mac to the Bank of America, I find that BofA simply doesn't support Quicken Connect. Unfortunately, the chat hosts don't seem to know that so I wasted three hours trying to connect. Try as you may, you'll never get the code that BofA seems to be asking for. And don't call them about it either - they won't help you any more than Quicken support will. Apparently, you can still download .qfx files but that's sort of last decade isn't it.

After four tries with Quicken support and two with the Bank, I was finally able to connect. And, it seems that the problem with the "authentication code" lies somewhere in BofA's software. A very helpful agent at BofA patiently walked me through the process but was unable to find "the problem". As a last gasp attempt, she somehow generated an authentication code, read it to me, and I entered it into the popup box in Quicken. Boom, I was connected and all seems to be working.
