DOWNLOAD BANKING TRANSACTIONS

1. Why should I download my bank transactions into QuickBooks?
When you download your bank transactions:
- QuickBooks categorizes and matches transactions it recognizes, so you can quickly review and accept them.
- As you categorize additional transactions, QuickBooks learns how to categorize them in the future.
- When you accept transactions, QuickBooks creates additional records (such as deposits and expenses) to eliminate additional data entry and save you more time!
You can add and match bank transactions, and quickly accept them in QuickBooks during those spare moments throughout the day, like when you're waiting in line to get coffee.
Matching and adding bank transactions ensures your data is accurate and complete, so QuickBooks can give you more accurate reports and insights into how your business is doing.
2. How do I download my bank transactions to QuickBooks Online?
Connect to your bank from QuickBooks Online on the web to start downloading transactions. When the first download completes, your transactions will also be available in QuickBooks Online on your iPhone and iPad, so you can categorize and accept them whenever you’d like. After your first download, transactions download automatically (currently once a day), so your mobile devices always have recent bank transactions available to review and accept.
To connect to your bank from QuickBooks Online on the web:
- Sign in through your browser on the web at https://qbo.intuit.com/.
- Click Connect an account near the top right of the home page, or choose
Transactions > Banking and click Add account.
- Enter your bank's name in the box and click Search.
- Under “All matching results” click the link for your bank.
- Sign in with your bank site credentials.
- When you're connected, click the blue That's it, I'm finished! button.
When you first connect an account, it can take a few minutes for the downloaded transactions to appear on the page. Subsequent downloads should be much faster. For more information, see the QuickBooks Online help on the web (search for “How to connect QuickBooks Online to your bank accounts”).
Now you're ready to categorize and accept transactions from QuickBooks Online on your iPhone and iPad!
