Are Currency Exchange Rates Downloading for You?

Somsak K.

I have several accounts that denominated in currencies other than US dollars and in recent days when I do a one=step update I get an error message saying "“Unable to download latest currency rates”. Is this a known problem?

What version of Quicken are you using (Canadian/US) and Deluxe or Home & Business? THANK YOU

Organone

Sorry...forgot to ask if you could please post a screen shot of the Currency List screen. I would like to see the options which can be selected at the bottom of the screen. THANKS

Quicken Kristina

Hello @Organone,

Thank you for joining the discussion. In Quicken for Windows (US) R 49.33, here is what the Currency List screen looks like:

I hope that helps!

Should I infer from your request for more information that not everyone is having the same issue?

I’m using the US version of Quicken Premier, rev 27.1.49.33 on Windows 10 Enterprise. The same problem happens both when connected with a VPN and without the VPN. A screenshot of the "Currency List" window is below but the updating problem happens not only there but also during "One-Step Update". I'm not sure when the problem happened but since exchange rates of the currencies that I use are still in the ballpark I think that it must not have been very long ago.

I have the same problem.

Hello Somsak K & cgruchy
Please see the thread "All Things Canadian (Windows)"
I've posted the differences between the Canadian and US Versions, and pointed out that certain features that used to work in the Canadian version are not working (like IMPORT)

So the same problem exists on the Canadian version. That's good in the sense that it should make it more difficult for the Quicken team to ignore the problem. (I'm assuming that it might be more common for Canadian residents to have accounts denominated in multiple currencies than it is for US residents).

I'm having the same problem going on for a week. Screen cap attached.

To Quicken Christina or anyone at Quicken Support: I have the same issue as many people above. Paying for a fully functional product and I'm not getting what I'm paying for. When will the problem be fixed? How about giving your paying customers a rebate/discount for a partially functioning product?

I have the same problem. Using Premier R49.33 27.1.49.33 wiyh windows 11 Home.
The "Euro" symbol has never updated for me even though I never got an error. The "Eur_" symbol was working fine until recently.

it seems that it takes a significant amount of time to fix obvious bugs that affect multiple users.

Quicken Christina or anyone at Quicken Support:

How about an answer or a fix? Tried to get support from your Chat function. No one there. I need this function to work. It affects my work!

This is getting ridiculous…!

Hello All,

A fix has been put in place for this issue, and we ask that if you haven’t already, to please go ahead and try updating currency again.

Please let us know how it goes! Thank you.

Confirmed. OSU successful with what looks like current exchange rates. (using Q Win R 50.5)

Currency rates are still not updating. Version R49.33, Build 27.1.49.33 on Win 11.

vercors

Currencies are now updating (CA Quicken H&B, Version R48.15, Build 27.1.48.15). Not too sure if the exchange rates are valid though. I get CAD$1 for US$0.73506 with Quicken. With Yahoo Finance, I get CAD$1 for US$.07491. Grant it, not a huge difference. Still, I want to make sure the fix has brought back the currency update functionality to what it was before the update issue occurred. I want to be able to trust the data. What is or was the source of your currency exchange data before the update issue occurred.

Are they updating now or has the error message just be suppressed? Try this as an experiment - in the Currency List manually change the rate for Argentinian Pesos to a round number, say 235, and then hit update. After the update it will still be 235, which is incorrect.

It doesn't seem like it's working, it seems like it's just that error message has been suppressed.

Did the test. $a per S 235 came back as 235 after the test. The $ per $a came back as 0.00426 which is different than pre-test. So it seems to be updating.

Referring to my previous question: where do you source your exchange rates from?

That's not evidence that it updated. It's showing 0.00426 because that's the reciprocal of 235.

Just looked at my net worth report. I have not entered any personal or business expenses for the last 3 days (June). No change in net worth for those 3 days. I have accounts in 3 different currencies. There should have been some variation in net worth due to currency fluctuation. Though the download function works, the rates seem not to be refreshing.

vercors

Currency rates still not refreshing. Any ETA regarding a solution?

LMits

Currency rates are still not updating.

(R49.33, Build 27.1.49.33 on Windows 11.)

Cowxie

Like @vercors asked, what's the ETA from Quicken and the service provider for a solution?

RCRLon

Just updated to R50.8 (27.1.50.8) on Windows 11. Still no fix for this; currency rates still not updating. Is there a fix coming?

PhilippeP

I have Quicken Home and Business - Canadian Edition build 27.1.48.15 and no US to Canadian dollar currency updates since May 25th. Any ETA on resolving this? Thanks!
