Transaction download for my 5/3 account stopped updating when I installed the latest update. I get error message OL-293-A. Tried resetting both checking and savings accounts, same result. Help...

I am having the same problem.

Hello @jpohio, 

Thank you for contacting the Quicken Community, though I do apologize that you are experiencing this error with your Fifth Third account(s).

I have located a Support Article that discusses some troubleshooting steps to take when presented with an OL-293-A error. You may follow this link to access that FAQ. Keep in mind that it is recommended to save a backup before proceeding with troubleshooting steps in the event that you would like to return to your original starting position. 

Please note this paragraph located at the bottom of the FAQ:

If the issue persists

If the issue is not resolved after following the steps above, you will need to contact your financial institution to resolve this issue. Quicken does not have access to the financial institution's servers to correct the problem. This may require you ask to speak with an online services specialist that handles transaction download issues at the financial institution. If your financial institution states they can't assist, an escalation with the financial institution may be necessary. 

I hope this helps!

Fifth Third Bank and Quicken are doing it again. Fifth Third Bank is trying to do 2 level verification for login, but Quicken does not recognize it as a 2 level verification which it can process. This results in error OL 293-A.I reported this a year or two ago, but never received any communication. It was fixed at that time because Fifth Third Bank stopped requiring 2 level verification. Unfortunately, Quicken and Fifth Third did not fix both their systems, so the problem still exists. When will it get fixed this time?

I agree with all the previous posts. This is ridiculous!!! This problem with updating 5/3 seems to happen every year or two. It always occurs after a Quicken update. Since Quicken is now an annual subscription service rather than a simple software program, I feel it necessary to install all updates. Since I have to pay for an annual subscription it doesn't seem fair that it not operate properly for some period of time during that year!!! [Removed - Rant]

I also am having the same issue. Fifth Third is my main checking account and I rely on it for paying all of my bills. I would like to have the download thing working immediately. Please fix it ASAP.

When I checked my account list for 5th 3rd in Quicken, it had 5/3 in the account list name. Quicken now says I can't have the / in the name. I changed that but it didn't fix it. Maybe now the name may not be right at 5th 3rd.

I began having the same issue after the last update R42.8 with only Fifth Third which to make matters worse, is my primary bank. Did everything in the article https://www.quicken.com/support/error-when-using-quicken-online-services-ol-293-or-ol-294 to no avail. Need resolution immediately.

I'm having the same problem with the Fifth Third download from Quicken. Can't pay or EDIT bill payments. This is a big problem! To reiterate comments above - we need resolution immediately. (Otherwise, what's the point in using Quicken?)

mmbgroneck

Same issue as everyone else. Only occuring with one account. Others seem to be still downloading transactions.

Cannot download from 5/3 Bank. For the last two days I keep getting the Error Msg: OL293-A. Please help.

I get this error at least once a year, I called my bank, and they say the problem is with Quicken’s software and Quicken says that it is a banking issue. The last time this happened, it took Quicken and my bank about three weeks to solve the problem. In my situation, I checked online with the bank to make sure that all of my bills were paid, and I deactivated the online bill pay and I was able to download my transactions until they solved the issue. This has been an ongoing problem [Removed - Speculation]

Same OL-293-A issue as all others.
I believe it's related to the R42.8 update as also mentioned, as it started immediately after?
But could be a change at 5-3 software?

Title is self-explanatory. Been going on for three days. I've tried resetting, deactivating and reactivating, to no avail.

Error message says "It's not your fault."

OK, then, how about fixing it?

Same OL-293-A error as everyone else here. Come on Quicken...we depend on this software for transactions and it needs to be resolved Quickly. I sent in my log files for evaluation.
