Why doesn't Capital One sync with Quicken?

Nabuhay

This has been ongoing for quite some time. I'm using Windows 11. I end up having to look at my account in my browser and enter the data manually.

Hello @Nabuhay,

Are you receiving any error codes or messages? What exactly is the issue that you are experiencing with Capital One? Is it regarding adding accounts or downloading transactions? When did this issue begin?

Let me know!

I don't One Step Update with my CapOne credit cards, but I do use the Web Connect .QFX file downloads and they work just fine for import into Quicken, so no need to enter by typing in manually.

We still need to know the information requested by @UKR to help you further, just letting you know what does work for me.

The issue has been going on for more than a couple weeks. I've put off trying to get help. Quicken won't automatically download translations when I attempt to do so. Every other account is successfully downloaded.

@Nabuhay Have you tried Resetting the account? If that doesn't resolve the issue, next try Deactivating and Reactivating the account.

Thanks for responding.
There are a number of "Capital One" financial institution names registered in Quicken. Which one are you using?

For my connections, a credit card and a savings account, "Capital One 360" is working fine.
Which one exactly are you using?
If you're using one of the other available choices, I would try deactivating both your Capital One accounts and then, using Tools / Add Account try to activate both of them using "Capital One 360" as the Financial Institution Name. Be sure to correctly LINK each of the accounts to their already existing registers.

Before you do that, however, I recommend you do the following first:
- Backup your Quicken data file
- Make a note of the amount in the Opening Balance transaction (usually the first, oldest transaction in each register). Edit the transaction and put the amount into the Memo field for future reference.
During account activation Quicken appears to be in the bad habit of messing up that amount, thus causing problems with the running balance and reconciliation. If it does, just edit the Opening Balance transaction and change the amount back to what it was originally. (Yes, I know, sigh! It's a bug and we're waiting for the programmers to fix it)

I'll try that. Thanks all for your help.
