Error: OL-222
Error: OL-222 after downloading a Web Connect file from an approved bank into QuickBooks Mac
When importing a .qbo file from an approved financial institution in QuickBooks Mac, you get the following error.
Note: For Windows, refer to Troubleshoot Online Banking Webconnect import issues and errors
Why QuickBooks Error 222 happens?
The OL-222 error indicates that QuickBooks did not receive a valid response from the financial institution’s server. A parsing error occurred in the server response. This is often caused by one or more characters in the .qbo file that are not compliant with the Open Financial Exchange (OFX) standard for exchanging financial data with QuickBooks.
The download (.QBO file) is formatted incorrectly and needs to be fixed by the Financial Institution.
How to fix QuickBooks Error OL 222?
Solution 1: Update to the latest release
Please go to the Update to the Latest Release web page.
Now, make sure your product is selected. If not, click the Change link and select your QuickBooks product.

Click the Updatebutton to download the update file.
Click Setup Automatic Updates to learn how to set QuickBooks to automatically download and install the latest updates.
Make a backup of your Company file.

Solution 2: Correct invalid formatting
An example of invalid characters would be “&”. By simply editing the QBO file in Text Edit and removing all instances of this, it can allow QuickBooks to properly import the file.
If there are formatting issues, please contact the financial institution for assistance. The financial institution provides the QBO download, and they need to be made aware of this.
