QuickBooks Error OLSU-1022: Bank Server Rejected Connection

Quick Fix: Log in to your bank's website directly, complete any pending verifications, then deactivate and reactivate bank feeds in QuickBooks with updated credentials.

What Causes Error OLSU-1022?

Error OLSU-1022 means your bank's server actively rejected the connection request from QuickBooks. Unlike timeout errors, this is a deliberate refusal. Common causes:

1. Authentication failure — Your bank credentials (username/password) are incorrect, expired, or locked due to too many failed attempts.
2. Bank requires additional verification — Your bank has pending security actions (MFA enrollment, new terms of service, fraud verification) that must be completed directly on their website before third-party connections are allowed.
3. Bank disabled third-party access — Your financial institution turned off OFX/Direct Connect support, either permanently or temporarily during a system migration.

How to Fix QuickBooks Error OLSU-1022

Solution 1: Verify Credentials Directly with Your Bank

1. Open your bank's website in a browser.
2. Log in with the exact same username and password you entered in QuickBooks.
3. If login fails, reset your password through the bank's website.
4. If login succeeds, look for and complete any:

- Security question setup

- Multi-factor authentication enrollment

- Terms of service acceptance

- Account verification prompts

1. Log out of the bank website.
2. In QuickBooks, retry the bank feed connection with your verified credentials.

Solution 2: Deactivate and Reactivate with Fresh Setup

1. Go to Banking → Bank Feeds → Bank Feeds Center.
2. Select the affected account → Deactivate All Online Services.
3. Close QuickBooks completely.
4. Wait at least 2 hours (allows the bank to fully clear the old session).
5. Reopen QuickBooks → Banking → Bank Feeds → Set Up Bank Feeds for an Account.
6. Search for your bank and enter your current, verified credentials.
7. Complete any security challenge prompts that appear.

Solution 3: Contact Your Bank About Third-Party Access

1. Call your bank's customer service line.
2. Ask specifically: "Is OFX Direct Connect enabled for my account for third-party software like QuickBooks?"
3. If not, ask them to enable it — some banks require verbal authorization.
4. Ask if there's a separate "connection password" or PIN for third-party access (some banks use different credentials for OFX than for web login).
5. Once confirmed enabled, retry the connection in QuickBooks with the correct credentials.

Still Getting Error OLSU-1022?

• Check if your bank recently migrated to a new online banking platform — you may need to search for a different bank name in QuickBooks.

Prevent This Error in the Future
