    Same same… OFX Error: 16503 when trying to update Merrill on both Mac and Windows!

    Received the same error code 16503 on Quicken for Mac, no updates as a result.

    Add me to the list of people not being able to update Merrill accounts with OFX-16503 error.

  • Quicken Mac Subscription Member ✭✭

    I should have added that this is with Quicken Classic Deluxe, Version 7.4.2 (Build 704.51578.100), macOS 12.7.2

    Same error here as well. Any update on a resolution to this issue?

  • Quicken Mac Subscription Member ✭✭✭

    Same here. Several identical postings on the Quicken Classic for Windows forum

  • Quicken Mac Subscription Member ✭✭

    I have same issue neither Merrill or quicken support were helpful. I did get a ticket open with quicken only to be told to call back Friday.

  • Quicken Windows Subscription Member ✭✭✭✭

    When using Direct Connect, the connection is directly between Quicken (the program) and the financial institution. Given that neither Quicken Mac or Quicken Windows have changes and that both are experiencing the same problem it basically a 100% sure the problem is at Merrill Lynch.

    The fix is to wait for Merrill Lynch to fix the problem, or if available, used the workaround of downloading and importing the Web Connect/QFX file from the Merrill Lynch website.

    I'm doing the same as @Chris_QPW suggests. I'm downloading QFX files until a fix is found. I tend to agree that the problem is on the Merrill Lynch side.

    Same problem connecting to Merrill on Quicken classic for Mac. Not sure how to proceed since it seems other users have tried both Quicken and Classic.

  • Quicken Windows Subscription Member ✭✭✭✭

    Until Merrill Lynch fixes the problem you can go to their website and download and import the Web Connect/QFX file.

    Started getting this error yesterday on Windows 11. Quicken version: R53.32 27.1.53.32

    During the last online session, Quicken encountered an online error [OL-294-A].

    Called Merrill support. They had no knowledge of Quicken or any connection issues.

    Sent a report to Quicken support.

    Same issue here.

  • Quicken Mac Subscription Member ✭✭

    I have opened a ticket with quicken and Merrill just sends me back to quicken. I have done the report a problem multiple times also. When will quicken support follow up on this issue

  • Quicken Windows Other Unconfirmed, Member ✭✭

    Getting same OL-294-A Error message when trying to download Merrill Lynch transactions

  • Quicken Windows Subscription Member ✭✭

    Add me to the list. Went back to OLD SCHOOL imports. Not fun especially with End of the year activity. Hopefully Quicken tech support is reaching out to Merrill on behalf of its clients. No problem on the Bank of America side.

  • Quicken Mac Subscription Member ✭✭

    24 Hours later….still have issue.

  • Quicken Mac Subscription Member ✭✭

    Same issue. I believe it downloaded correctly once this morning before the connection error resumed.

    I've experienced this since 1/3, but it may have started earlier. My last successful connection was on 12/30. I reported the error through the Quicken Application this morning. Sorry…wrong post. I am using Quicken for Windows and getting the error.

    Same issue. I'm also using another software program and having the same connection issue so I'm certain it's Merrill Lynch.
