How to Fix QuickBooks Error 323

QuickBooks displays: "Error 323: We are unable to update your account. The account already exists." during bank feed setup or update.

Error 323 means QB's bank feed is detecting a duplicate account -- the bank account you are trying to add or update is already connected to another QB account, either in the same company file or from a previous connection that wasn't fully removed. At QuickFix Bookkeeping, the fix requires identifying and removing the duplicate connection before setting up fresh.
