Updated online accounts this morning and my Chase Checking account in Quicken Windows (Premier, v. R60.15) shows an online balance of negative. However, Chase online has the correct positive value. Reported/known problem?

    Hello @Michael Farley,

    Did you receive any error codes or messages? Do the transactions appear in your Quicken register as they do in your Chase accounts online? Can you see any transactions that would have caused this to occur?

    Please let me know!

    No errors. Transactions appear to agree. Looking again. Thanks!

    currently you can’t trust the online balance for Chase accounts because there is a known problem with the way Chase is sending data from pending transactions when it shouldn’t. You should try reconciling when you don’t have any pending transactions or maybe better yet to reconciling to what they call the statement balance which in fact can be any balance that you type in for instance a balance that you might see on the Chase website.

    also see this announcement

    and even though it isn’t mentioned in this announcement, people have remarked that not only does it include pending transactions, the signs of those pending transactions are reversed.

    Also, you might want to check the Opening Balance transactions of those accounts to see if they have the correct dollar amounts listed. Perhaps the easiest way to confirm this is to restore a backup file from before when you first noticed this issue occurring. That backup file can be from a long time ago provided the accounts at issue now are also in that old backup file. If the amounts shown in you current main data file don't match what is shown in the restored backup file, then correct those amounts to match what is shown in the backup file.

    Resolved: Pending deposits were the culprit. Online Balance stated in Quicken now correct. Known problem, it appears. Thanks for the responses!

    You stated this is resolved, do we need to wait for the fix to happen after a software update? I am still having the issue, even after signing out and back in and running sync.

    I don't think you understood the response. @Quicken Jasmine wasn't saying that the Chase Online Balance problem was resolved. She was saying that @Michael Farley had found a "workaround" that "resolves" the immediate problem of reconciling his account (basically reconcile when there aren't any pending transactions or reconcile to the statement balance where you can type in the right balance instead).

    Got it, I misunderstood. Thanks!
