Unable to download transactions from Novo (Middlesex Federal Savings)

Starting yesterday, I've been receiving errors when trying to download transactions from Novo. This morning, I received an MFA text from them when trying to download. I then tried to reset the account, but that too errored in Quicken and generated yet another MFA text.

    Hello @mpeacock,

    I look forward to your response.

  • I am having the same issue.

  • Like the comment above, suddenly my transaction download from Novo stopped after working consistently for over a year. I kept getting MFA texts to my phone each time I tried (and failed) to download transactions. I disabled Quicken download from Novo, just like the user above did, and now I'm getting the attached error when I try to reenable direct connect to Novo within Quicken. I am using Quicken Classic Deluxe annual subscription.

    I'm receiving the same error box as @MSPMatt

    Also, I did send all my logs through the Report Problem functionality and am running the current version of Quicken Classic.

  • Same issue here. I keep getting a MFA text from Novo when trying to download. I have never needed to use a MFA code to download Novo transactions into Quicken before. No window pops up in Quicken for entry of the MFA for Novo either. I kept my connection in tact hoping this will be corrected.

  • Thank you for your replies,

    If the issue has been persisting for longer than one business day, then I would recommend that you reach out to Quicken Support directly for further assistance as they can walk you through troubleshooting steps in real-time and escalate the situation as needed.  The Quicken Support phone number can be found through this link here. Phone support is available from 5:00 am PT to 5:00 pm PT, Monday through Friday.

    I apologize that I could not be of more assistance!

  • Quicken support: Your response is disappointing. This many instances prove that this is a systemic issue between Quicken and Novo, not solvable through “troubleshooting” with each of us individually. What is Quicken doing to proactively reach out to Novo Bank to do system testing with them relating to your transaction download feature?

    I'm having the same issue too - started this week. Clearly it's not something that we can troubleshoot on a one-on-one basis if many people are experiencing this.

    I'm having this issue as well, though it's been working consistently before this. Please address this as soon as possible!

  • I am having the same problem. It stopped working in late September.

    Resetting didn't help. I tried deactivating online and re-activating, still get an error.

    What can I do to help speed the fix/resolution?

    Just got a response from Novo -

    "I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble connecting Quicken to your Novo account and we appreciate you flagging this issue to us. Our team is aware that some customers are having issues with connecting their Quickbooks account and are investigating the cause of this outage."

    So no resolution from either Quicken or Novo, but hoping that they're now working together on this.

    I spent at least 30 minutes on a chat session with Quicken Support yesterday, following up on @Quicken Kristina's suggestion. They created a ticket (10502156), but then closed it and asked me to raise the issue with Novo. I created a support ticket through the Novo web site but have not heard anything from them yet.

    So, the current status (as I understand it), is that Quicken is not actively working this issue and instead is waiting for my Novo ticket to result in some resolution. I was pretty clear with the Quicken chat agent that, as a former CIO who, in the past, had customer service responsibilities for software products, I thought being put in the middle of a Quicken-Novo connectivity issue was very poor customer service. Needless to say, my responses to Quicken's post-ticket customer sat questionnaire wasn't very positive.

    I spent 90 minutes on with Quicken support last week and now have a ticket number as well, but nothing else. I can try and raise this with Novo too - I think something may have changed on their end, as my connection to Novo with another software provider is also not working anymore.

    Received this update from Novo about 90 minutes ago -

    "Great news! Our team has just confirmed that the connection issue with Quickbooks has been resolved. You should now be able to log in to Novo via Quickbooks and sync transactions.

    I want to sincerely apologize again for the inconvenience this caused you and are grateful for your patience. Do let us know if you need any further assistance."

    I then went into Quicken and was able to re-activate my Novo account and download transactions. The download was a little wonky — transactions from last year were coming thru with 2023 dates — so I'll keep my eye on it going forward. But at least the connection is reestablished.

  • Still not working for me and Novo support was useless and a joke.

  • So I got mine to work by:

    1. De-activated services
    2. Deleted the 'banking institution name' in the account details
    3. Re-activate online servicing and manually selecting Novo
    4. Suddenly it works now

    Thanks for posting this. Just did the same and my Novo accounts are back online in QMAC
