Can't download from Axos Bank

Jim Bailey
Jim Bailey Member ✭✭✭

I'm using Quicken Classic Premier, version R57.16 on Windows 11. I started downloading bank transactions from Axos Bank a couple of years ago and had no problems until now. About 2-3 days ago, the downloads from Axos stopped. I tried to reset the Axos account, Quicken asked me to log in again to Axos, and i'm getting a message that Quicken thinks the bank login information that I'm using is not correct. I tried signing out of Quicken and signing back in but that did not help.

Any suggestions?

    Same here. Download broke a couple days ago, resetting the account fails, starting from scratch with Add Account gives CC-503 "Oops. Did you mistype your login." (I'm 100% sure the password is correct, since I'm pasting it from a password manager, and it works on the Axos site.)

    I wouldn't be surprised if this is related to Axos migrating their business accounts to their personal account website, which has been going on over the past couple weeks, and ends tomorrow.

    Thanks, you’re having the exact same problem I am. I sent a note to Axos, have not heard anything back yet.

    Hello @Jim Bailey,

    Just to clarify, are you receiving a CC-503 just as @meeotch is?

    Let me know!

    Same issue here.

  • Been trying for several days, called AXOS no help. Guess it's time to wait a couple of weeks till this get this bug resolved.

    There are several entries for Axos Bank listed in the Financial Institution List.
    Which of these are you trying to connect to?

    Are you sure you haven't missed some more or less recent announcements from the bank about upcoming changes? Are there any instructions on the bank's website about how to proceed and when to make some changes?
    The entries with a DC and WC suffix point to selections supporting either Direct Connect or Express Web Connect download protocol.

    Speaking for myself - I've been using the FI you have selected there for years. The only communication from Axos I've received recently is the note about business accounts being transitioned to the personal web platform. (I successfully switched my business accounts to the "Axos Bank" FI a few weeks ago - so I'm not even sure that transition is relevant to the issue.)

    I have both personal & business accounts with them. All are broken in Quicken, currently.

    When logging on to the bank's website and looking at an account register, do they offer transaction download services in QFX (Quicken compatible) file format for a selected Date Range or for an entire monthly statement at a time?
    Have you tried to download and import a QFX file into Quicken instead of trying One Step Update?

    Have you called Quicken Support on the phone during posted hours of operation and reported this as an Online Banking issue yet?

    No QFX download that I saw. I reported the error through Quicken, with logs, though.

    Unfortunately, with OSU breaking every couple of weeks for one account or another, I can't spare the time to sit on the phone with support for each incident. Maybe one of the other posters above can. I usually check quicken.com to see if it's a known issue, bookmark the appropriate threads, and wait it out.

    I spent a while on the phone yesterday with Quicken support and they were unable to find a solution. I have also spoken with multiple reps from Axos with different results and answers. One rep had never heard of Quicken and was no help. Another told me that downloading transactions into Quicken was only available to Axos business customers. My account is a personal account. I spoke with another Axos rep this afternoon who seemed a bit more knowledgeable. We went to the "download transactions" link on the page for my account on the Axos website. When you click on that link, it immediately downloads an excel spreadsheet of my transactions, without any opportunity to select a file type, date range, etc., like you see on websites for other financial institutions. He seemed a bit surprised about that lack of functionality, and after some research told me that in about 2-3 weeks I will be able to go to my account on the Axos website and download a QFX file for importing into Quicken. I think there is also a way to convert the transactions that I have downloaded as an excel spreadsheet into a QFX file for importing into Quicken. Not sure how to do that, maybe others can explain how that is done. I also tried to add a new account in Quicken for the Axos DC and Axos WC as mentioned above. The Axos WC simply creates a new account into which you would dump transactions from a QFX file from the financial institution. As I mention above, Axos does not currently offer a download of a QFX file. When I tried to add the Axos DC account, it went through a process of logging into my Axos account but ultimately I could not get that to work.

    I've had accounts there forever - since back before it was even Axos. Quicken express web connect has always been functional, though with the usual outages, as noted. So I doubt it's about finding a workaround, as much as it is about keeping the pressure on Quicken & Axos both to get it working again. As you've discovered - when something breaks, the front-line folks at the bank seldom have any info.

    Coincidentally, while googling around related to this issue, I came across some fun facts about Axos that I didn't know. This isn't the place for that discussion, but if you google "Axos" and "Washington Post", there's info to be had. I use my Axos accounts infrequently anyway - I may simply close them, if the Quicken connection stays down for too long.

    So there's definitely a problem here and all the moderators do is ask question after question after question. You know what the problem is here - you CANNOT download Axos transactions in Quicken. So Fix. The. Problem.

    Same. CC-503 when attempting to sync my Axos account. No issues doing this until the past few days. No problem signing in directly to Axos website with same UID/PSWD.

    Same issue here. The frustrating thing is that Axos also doesn't provide other download options besides Excel. Wow.

    I'm having the same problem and spoke with a quicken rep yesterday. So far today, I received no update on any action on this problem. In the meantime, my Axos online banking system is not updating and this could be a problem if it continues for a few more days.

    Quicken support: please help!

    Same problem here. Attempting to add an Axos account with valid ID and password results in a CC-503 , message "Oops, we're having a problem" or a CC-929 with a similar message.

    Days are passing without any update. What's up, Quicken?

    I am having the same problem with download from Axos Bank. CC-503 error. Fortunately, I am in final steps of transitioning from Axos to another financial institution so my transactions for June are minimal. I have the printed bank statements so plan to manually enter them into Quicken. Reading the comments here, I realized that it is not Quicken but Axos. I will report it to Axos today, 7/4/2024. I reported it to Quicken today prior to reading the community comments. Thank you so much for all the information you put out to the community.

    I just logged on to my Axos account from my desktop and noticed for the first time that when you choose to download account transactions, you are given the option to download in QFX file format. That is an improvement, as earlier you could only download in Excel format.

  • Daniel Gould

    @Jim Bailey were you able to download your transactions that way? I tried yesterday but whatever format I picked I got an error from the Axos site saying they were currently experiencing a problem with transaction downloads and that I should try again later. I also noticed my account view was strange with 2 copies of each of my Axos accounts showing up there - it all made me wonder if this issue is partially on the Axos side.

  • Jim Bailey

    I was able to download my transactions into a QFX file today. That’s the first time I’ve tried that in a while, last time I tried to download I could only download into an excel file. Maybe it was fixed between yesterday when you were having problems and today. I have not seen the other problem you describe, but today was my first time to log in to Axos in several days.

    Not sure why Quicken closed my ticket when this is still not working.

    Another 5 days have passed since Q provided a status on this. What's up, Q?! Why is this such a problem? Is our connection to Axos going to be forever via download?
