Hi Christie,

Thank you for posting your question on our forum. I will be glad to assist you with your problem. I can understand that keeping your transactions updated in your QuickBooks is very important. If we miss any of the transaction it can create a lot of problems. QuickBooks Error OL-222 can happen because QuickBooks didn’t receive a valid response from the financial institution’s server. An error occurred in the server response. This might have happened because of one or more characters in the .QBO file that is not supported with the Open Financial Exchange (OFX) standard for exchanging financial data with QuickBooks. This may also happen if the download .QBO file is formatted incorrectly and needs to be fixed by the Financial Institution.

QuickBooks was not able to complete your request. Please contact your financial institution. (OL-222)
