Why is Quicken treating a payment/credit as a charge?

Norman Drews

I have a Citibank card and noticed just today that my payments are registering as charges (increasing balance) and charges are registering as payments (decreasing balance). This seems to be the only account affected. I notice also that the online balance is incorrect. 

I could delete the account and recategorize each transaction and that would probably fix it but that is extremely tedious considering I'm keeping track of records since 2019.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Hello,

The issue seems to have mostly resolved itself after Quicken found some sort of irregularity with the account and suggested I deactivate/reactivate the online services. The remaining issue was that the online balance retrieved is incorrect but that seems to have been fixed by moving from Citibank to Citi Cards.
