Hi @alexc4406,
Thank you for reaching out! I’d be happy to assist you with this.
To better understand what may be happening, I have a few questions and troubleshooting steps for you:
- Are you receiving any error messages when updating the account?
- Are the transactions still marked as pending on your bank’s website?
- Has the sort order in your register been changed?
- Check the Sort Order.
- Open the affected account register.
- Click the top of the Date column to ensure it’s sorted by date.
Sometimes transactions are present but appear out of order due to sorting changes.
2. Reset Register Filters
- Click the Reset button at the top of the register.
This ensures no filters are hiding transactions.
3. Try refreshing your login session
- Go to Help > Refresh Sign In
- Complete the login process.
- Run One Step Update again.
4. Check for incorrectly matched or misplaced transactions
- The missing transaction may have been matched to an existing one (this can happen with recurring payments of the same amount)
- Select All Transactions and search for the transaction
- If found in the wrong account, right-click it and select Move transaction(s) to move it to the correct account
- 5. Confirm No Backup Was Restored
If an older backup file was restored after accepting downloaded transactions, the restored file may not include those newer transactions.
6. Deleted transactions
- Deleted transactions will not download again. If needed, they can be re-entered manually or restored from a backup.
If everything looks correct with sorting, filtering, and backups, please check the account’s connection method:
Steps to check the connection method.
- Open the affected account.
- Click the Gear icon in the upper-right corner.
- Select Edit Account Details.
- Click the Online Services tab.
- The connection method will be listed below the Financial Institution name.
- Please let me know what connection method is shown and how it goes after trying these steps. I’m here to help!
Once you’ve had a chance to review these points, please let me know what you find. I’ll be happy to continue assisting you from there.
I look forward to your response!

Laura,
Thank you for your comments. I have tried them all to no avail. Interesting item. The online balance is updated but the transactions are not downloaded. I suspect some connection problem with Synchrony Bank? I noticed they have changed their home page layout. So for now I guess I enter transactions manually.
Regards
Alex

No joy. Tried your suggestions and still no transactions. The online balance does update but the transactions do not download. So I know I am getting connected because the balance updates. I can verify this by connecting to PayPal directly.

Quicken Laura,
Paypal is changing the connection to ewc+. see the following:
What’s happening?
PayPal is transitioning all accounts to a new connection method. If you have PayPal accounts, you will need to take action to maintain your transaction download in Quicken.
- Checking and savings accounts will transition to a new online banking connection with Quicken, called EWC+.
- Other accounts, such as credit cards, will remain on the current EWC connection type, but, will need to be transitioned to a new PayPal EWC financial institution in Quicken.
- If you have accounts other than checking and savings with PayPal, you will need to follow two steps to reauthorize your accounts for download into Quicken.
So how to go forward.

Quicken Laura,
No Joy. When it reactivated, it created an adjustment amt for the transactions that were not downloaded. Online services still indicates web connect, nor ewc +.

Hi @alexc4406,
Thank you for keeping me updated and for trying all the steps provided.
Only the instance labeled PayPal was updated to EWC+. The other instance, which includes PayPal Credit, MasterCard, and Crypto, remains on EWC. Since your account is connected through that instance, it will continue to display the EWC connection.
It also appears that this issue is affecting multiple users. Our team has escalated it internally and is actively working toward a resolution.
