Quicken Classic update quit working for Sallie Mae Bank several months ago. No error messages. It continues to work fine for other banks. They say to contact Quicken. Is there something I can do to fix this?

    Hello @cosmonaught,

    Thank you for reaching out! To help troubleshoot, I checked our internal tools, but I'm not seeing any recent connection attempts. When was the last time you tried to update/connect the account?

    There is currently a know issue connecting with Sallie Mae bank. For more information on the known issue, please review the Community Alert linked below:

    UPDATE: I spoke with Sallie Mae Bank this morning. The bank is aware of the Quicken connection failures.

    I was told a recent Quicken software update made Quicken incompatible with Sallie Mae’s systems. That is the explanation provided by the bank. Because of this, the bank’s servers have blocked Quicken’s data-sharing connections.

    This likely explains why accounts can’t be reactivated (CC-555 / FDP-155) and why OSU fails even with correct credentials (CC-505 / CC-507). The connection to Sallie Mae's servers is blocked.

    Also, as other users reported, during the Add Account process the User ID and Password fields are reversed (password first, then user ID). This is secondary given Sallie Mae Bank's OSU connection block.

    This is a known issue to Quicken (CTP-13028) and a known issue to Sallie Mae Bank. Based on what the bank told me, data sharing between Quicken and Sallie Mae will remain blocked.

    Quicken R 65.29, Build 27.1.65.29. Windows 11 Home 25H2.

    I'm getting the same CC-505 error because of the Quicken update. Does Quicken have a timeline for a fix? [Removed - Readability/Rant]

    This is such a huge pain and one of many I now see with account syncing. Manually entering transactions because the sync does not work is a major negative for me. Issues like this don't seem to get fixed. As a dedicated customer since the 90's, I have appreciated the account syncing as one of the most important features for me. The ongoing hassles that I keep seeing and personally dealing with are causing me to fall further behind in my financial work. If this does not change soon, it may be time for me to leave this platform.

    FAILURE to download from Sallie Mae continues as of this date.

    When will QUICKEN fix this 5 month long problem?

    Why too is QUICKEN so quiet when it comes to trying to fix this for their customers?

    It truly stinks……. to say the least.
