QuickBooks Bank Feed Errors OL-222 and OL-334
Free Step-By-Step Fix Guide
OL-222 and OL-334 appear when QuickBooks cannot connect to your bank to download transactions. This usually happens when your bank has updated their website or security settings, your QuickBooks needs updating, or the bank feed connection needs to be refreshed.
Before You Start — Try This First
- Check your bank website directly to make sure it is working normally
- Confirm your online banking credentials are correct
- Make sure QuickBooks is fully updated
- Check if your bank has sent any security update notifications
Step-by-Step Fix
Update QuickBooks
Help → Update QuickBooks Desktop → Update Now → Install all available updates → Restart QuickBooks → Try bank feed again
Refresh Bank Feed Connection
In QuickBooks go to your bank account → Edit → Delete the bank feed connection → Set it up again fresh with your banking credentials
Deactivate and Reactivate Account
Banking → Bank Feeds → Bank Feeds Centre → Find your account → Edit → Deactivate → Save → Then reactivate and reconnect
Update Your Bank Login
Log directly into your bank website to confirm your username and password still work. If your bank recently added multi-factor authentication you may need to update how you connect in QuickBooks.
Clear QuickBooks Cache
Close QuickBooks → Press Windows + R → Type %appdata% → Navigate to Intuit → QuickBooks → Delete the cache folder → Reopen QuickBooks → Try bank feed
Use Web Connect Instead
Download transactions manually from your bank website as a .QBO file → In QuickBooks: File → Utilities → Import → Web Connect Files → Select your downloaded file
Contact Your Bank
Ask your bank if they have made any changes to their online banking platform or QuickBooks connectivity that requires action on your account.
Did these steps fix your error?
Yes
Set up automatic bank feed refresh to prevent this recurring.

Bank feed errors that persist after reconnecting usually mean your bank has changed their connection protocol.
