First Horizon Bank not connecting

Once again, Quicken cannot make contact with First Horizon Bank. I know the bank recently made changes to its website. Before I am asked, yes I can use my account at the bank website. I can only guess that that link that the Quicken servers use has changed. It seems like this happens at least 2x a year that Quicken and the Bank get into a spat about whose fault it is. We users are caught in the middle, only knowing that we cannot use our software properly. It's hugely disappointing.

    It's not just you, same exact issue. No problem going direct to banks website. Quicken updated fine yesterday (11/17). Error

    Here we go again with First Horizon and Quicken not talking to each other. Hopefully, they will resolve this issue quicker than last time. Let's see if a moderator will pick this up and give us an answer.

    Unable to download from First Horizon Bank this morning.

    I deactivated online services for the account in Quicken then attempted to reactivate. No joy.

    Logged into the bank website. A message displays that states they have upgraded some systems and that any customers attempting to access accounts using third-party tools (it lists Quicken as one of the examples) should inform the makers of the tool to fix the access issue on their end.

    I've used the Report a Problem feature in Quicken to submit this issue. I highly recommend you do the same.

    Did you use the Report a Problem feature in Quicken to submit the issue?

  • Just talked with First Horizon tech support. They said it is an issue and they have submitted it to Quicken. Even the QFX files won't work manually downloading them...

    Yes
  • Hello all,

    Thank you for taking the time to visit the Community with your questions and concerns, though I apologize that you are experiencing this.

    Here is a Knowledge Base article for the OL-294-A error that you are receiving. It gives steps to try and states that if the provided steps don't work you will need to contact your financial institution for assistance on this. I did see that one of you has already done this and that First Horizon Bank has stated that they are aware of the issue and working toward a resolution with Quicken. 

    Hope this helps.

    Same exact problem here. Reported to Quicken. I agree it's disappointing when First Horizon and Quicken blame each other.

    I just got off the phone with Quicken Support. They say there is a known issue with First Horizon and they are working on it. I tried the steps Alyssa linked to before I called. Those steps did not resolve the problem, and in fact made things worse. Before you change anything create a backup of your data file.

    Same problem here. Connection to FHB worked okay until 2 weeks ago when it went down. All recommended tricks to reconnect do not work. FH states on their website it is not their problem; just ask Quicken to fix the problem. I am writing this while waiting for Quicken Tech Support to pick up my call ......... 25 minutes so far.

    After 35 minutes my call was answered. After 10 minutes of trying ....... the tech was unable to activate my connection to FH. Said that the issue should be resolved tonight or tomorrow. Asked me to try again then. This is outrageous considering how much they collect from us, the users.

    FH broke the link when they did a "upgrade" on their data system. Quicken has not worked how the access the new system. Not sure if other services are able to.

    While I agree it is primarily a Quicken issue, I suggest we all, as First Horizon customers, log into our accounts and complain to their digital banking dept. It may help and cannot hurt. I have already done this.

    To billr: Good idea. I just filed a complain from my FH account.

    First Horizon says it is a known issue and a ticket has been opened and escalated, and they are working with Quicken. No est. on time of completion. They recommend downloading QFX as workaround. But I have read here there are also problems with that.

    This seems to be fixed now for me.

    FHB and Quicken are now talking to each other. I had to do a download twice for "download transactions" to appear in my registry.

    Fixed this morning. I did deactivate yesterday as a part of my attempts to reset the online data. Reactivated this morning and everything is working. I suspect from the above comments that it wasn't necessary to do that.

    Fixed now for me also. Thanks for everyone's help.

    I am still unable to download transactions.
    De-activation and re-activations don't work.
    Changing password in FH did not help. I can save my PW in My Vault. Can recall it when trying to connect to FH but downloading transactions does not work.
    So frustrating!!!!

    I am also unable to download transactions to my FH account. I've tried resetting the connection, changing my FH password to eliminate symbols, bit I get an Institution Login Sync Error BID=2250 error code.
