What is QuickBooks Banking Error 324?

Banking Error 324 (also called Care Code 324 or Bank Error 106) appears when QuickBooks cannot match the banking information to its online records. This barrier stops automatic transaction downloads, showing messages like:

• “We’re sorry, but we’re unable to access your account from your financial institution.”
• “Unable to update selected accounts due to connection mismatch.”

It’s commonly linked to outdated credentials, renamed bank accounts, or changes on the financial institution’s end.

Common Causes of Banking Error 324

Here are the most frequent reasons why QuickBooks displays this message:

1. Bank account details changed online
2. When your bank updates account numbers or login credentials, QuickBooks fails to identify the link correctly.
3. Duplicate or inactive account mapping
4. If there are multiple accounts with similar names, QuickBooks Online might not know which one to connect.
5. Account type restriction
6. Certain reserved accounts trigger the alert “You can’t change the type of this account because it is reserved for the online banking feature.”
7. Bank server maintenance or outage
8. Temporary connection issues from your bank’s end can cause sync disruption temporarily.
9. Expired login session or token
10. In QuickBooks Online, expired authentication tokens often cause error 324 until you sign in again.
