    I am also having this issue of no access to my Citi data. When can we expect a resolution?

    Are you referring to "Citi" checking and savings accounts or "Citi Cards" for Citi credit cards only?
    After creating a backup of your Quicken data file ...
    Have you tried to deactivate all Citi checking, savings, etc. and credit card accounts, including any old, long closed, hidden and forgotten accounts which might still be activated?
    After deactivating all Citi accounts restart Quicken and then use the "Add Account" process ("+" icon in the Accounts Sidebar title) to reactivate your accounts. This should walk you through the proper reauthorization process. Be sure to very carefully LINK all accounts found at the bank to their correct Quicken account registers.

    eaglell69 - Thanks for the post. I tried your steps and was hopeful, but on trying to log in on the "Reset Account" step, it again gives me the CC-502 error and there was also a "What you should know" notice in the Quicken window that says the Citi website is temporarily unavailable, try again later. This is at 4PM.

    Like others this error happens all the time. I've had this issue since at least Sept. 2022, which was the last time the account was able to update.

    Makes me wonder, why am I paying for Quicken if it can't even access my transactions?
    It also seems to miscategorize just about everything, I'd almost be better off keeping track of things from scratch in an Excel sheet.

    Seriously, Quicken. CC502 errors, off and on, for a YEAR and “ we are working on it” messages every month ????

    This is absurd...If you cannot interface with Citibank, say so and I can stop paying for a service that does not work. Yet again I am trying to downolad all day and get the same cc-502 errors every time.

    This worked like charm - I have two Citi Cards so I had to do the reset twice.

    The only fallout is that the "Opening balance" for one account was changed during the reset and when I tried to reconcile that opening balance amount was causing an amount to be unreconciled even after reconciling all the current transactions. The opening balance amount was the exact amount left to be reconciled. I changed Opening Balance amount to zero and was able to reconcile.

    Hi fellow Quicken users. I am writing to thank @eaglell69 for his solution to the Citibank CC-502 download error. I found his post, I followed it to the letter, and I have now successfully loaded my account information without a problem. Without his post, I would have had to manually enter transaction information. But I am sorry to hear other Quicken users are still having download problems despite @eaglell69 's step by step instructions. I hope you can find a solution soon.

    Concur, this DID work; however, it took 3 tries for it to finally connect.

    I've tried this several times when I'm trying to reset I get the note "What You Should Know. Quiken can't add this account because the Citibank website is temporarily unavailable. Please try again in a few hours".

    I've tried early in the morning, afternoon, late at night and on weekends. Same thing. Anyone know how to get around this?

    Thanks!

    Thank you @eaglell69!

    I followed your instuctions listed above and Quicken downloaded my transactions. I accepted all the transations and clicked on Reconcile and it balanced. However, with 8:16 minutes left on the 10 minute timer Quicken reported the the connect was lost and suggested I tryagain later, but it also allowered me to login which I did and then it continued the process and finished processing with 3:13 minutes left on the timer.

    I followed your instructions carefully and still cannot download into Quicken

    Thank you eaglell69 . Your solution worked for me. I was able to download Citibank credit card transactions directly within Quicken for the first time in a very long time. Won't know if this is a permanent fix until I have more transactions to download in the coming days/weeks, but I suspect it will be.

    I've always suspected this might partially have something to with Citibank requiring me to change my password last year, because the CC-502 problem started sometime after that. But there was no way to "update" the password in Quicken. I mentioned this to customer service but they didn't seem to understand what I was talking about. Your method allowed me to make that update and re-connect!

    Brilliant!!! Thank you again.
