If you don’t see the error then move onwards.

Step 3: Check if the File from your bank having good compatibility with QuickBooks

You can only see your downloaded transactions in a .qbo file extension inside QuickBooks. In case, your bank uses a separate extension other than .qbo, you are not eligible to open the file through QuickBooks. 

To check and verify where the problem persists either your bank or your file type, follow the series of steps to attempting download from the official banking website.

• Sign in to your bank’s website with the same credentials(not inside of QuickBooks)
• Browse and download your bank transactions in a .qbo file
