HSBC Error 503

mrpaley1

Over the last several days I have received this error 503 after performing a OSU. Sometimes 'update now' from the account resolves it.

I decided yesterday to try many troubleshooting step including multiple hours with multiple online chat people who could not help resolve it.

Some of those steps included deactivating and reactivating online services, delelting the account numbers and names of the account in the details and having me change my bank password and trying a test copied template file. They said they escalated it. Later in the day yesterday it surpsingingly resolved but it's back this morning.

Evidently there is a connectivity issue between HSBC Bank USA and Quicken which needs to be fixed.

Yup, I am seeing the same issue.

Hello @mrpaley1,

To assist with this, since you mentioned you've already contacted Quicken Support, I checked the status of your ticket (Ticket # 11377912). I can see that the issue has already been escalated and the escalated team is working on the issue. The escalated team should send you an email if they need additional information, need additional action from you, or when they believe the issue is resolved.

@Guy Bursell,

Are you still encountering this issue? When I check on our end, it looks like you were able to successfully connect this afternoon.

I look forward to your reply!

Interesting that on the MAC side, they're noting the same thing.

@Quicken Kristina thank you for responding! I can confirm that as of today the HSBC connection seems to be working again for me. Prior to this, the last successful update was back on 11/8 last week.

One set of HSBC accounts updated normally and transactions were downloaded as expected. However I repeatedly got the 503 error with my wife's HSBC profile and the associated HSBC credit card account. Numerous "Update now" returned a green dot but never actually updated and the 503 error still displayed.

This issue has not been resolved. It is recurring this morning. I have not been able to update since November 8.

Yes, this is expected behavior. At least, it's the behavior I've come to expect. Quicken purports to have seamless connections to many Financial Institutions (FIs) but they always seem to be playing catch-up whenever an FI alters their system. It's almost as though they have no agreement with them at all. If it happened infrequently I'd have a different opinion, but it happens over and over again.

Sometimes it helps to log into the FI directly: it seems there is sometimes a pop-up alert that must be cleared in order for Quicken to work properly. I know it doesn't make sense, but it has worked for me on more than one occasion. I wonder if Quicken (or Intuit) merely 'scrapes' the HTML response for some FIs.
