BMO Bank of Montreal CC-503 error

Takouhi

I have been using Quicken for Windows for awhile now with BMO and could update and sync my account transactions without issue, but cannot for the last week.
Account password has not changed.
Verified that I can login to BMO using the same password as in Quicken.
Tried to create a new file and sync up, same issue.
Did all troubleshooting steps found in support and issue persists.

Chat support cannot help me and they are closed on Monday for the holiday.

Anyone else with this issue?

Hello @Takouhi, 

I am sorry to hear about this issue with error messages and account updates. Thank you for asking about this here on the Quicken Community.

First, have you updated your passwords in Quicken? I want to verify that this step has been attempted before providing additional recommendations. Save a backup by navigating to File > Copy or Backup File... in the upper menu at the top of the screen, then follow the instructions listed below:

1. Launch Quicken and go to Tools > Password Vault > Add/Edit Passwords.
2. Click on the account in the Password Vault.
3. Choose Delete Password for the account.
4. Complete a One Step Update, you will be prompted to enter the password manually.
5. Type in the password (the same one used on the bank's website) and check in the box marked Save next to the password field.
6. Click Update Now.

If the login ID or username also needs to be changed:

1. Choose Tools > Account List.
2. Click the Edit button next to the account you want to change the login ID for.
3. In the Account Details window, click the Online Services tab.
4. Click Deactivate, and then click Yes to deactivate online services.
5. Click Yes again, if necessary, to confirm your choice.
6. Repeat these steps to deactivate all accounts at this same bank.
7. Return to the Online Services tab, and click Set up Now for each account you've deactivated.
8. Enter the correct login ID and follow the on-screen prompts to activate your account.

You can revisit instructions regarding the CC-503 error message in the Support Article listed here, if necessary. I look forward to hearing back from you about your results.

Thank you,

Quicken Jared

Is this still open?

I've been having the exact same issue since the latest quicken version update a few weeks ago. Everything worked fine for years until that update. I've tried all the troubleshooting steps listed above in the support article but nothing has helped.

Hello All,

Thank you for taking the time to reach out to the Community to report this issue, though I apologize that you are experiencing this.

This issue has been escalated internally, though we do not have an ETA at this time. While the investigation remains ongoing, please refer to this Community Alert - which was also previously linked above by Smayer97 - for any and all available updates.

Please note that while the error code reported in this OP of this thread is different from the error shown in the Alert, it is related as we are seeing internal server errors with BMO.

We apologize for any inconvenience in the meantime! Thank you.

The steps mentioned above have been done countless times. Called Support and they keep telling me to call back in a week. Now we are being told to call back in 48 hours. I installed [Removed - 3rd-Party Software] and updated my accounts in 30 sec. Why can't Quiken do the same?
