Steps To Download Bank Feed transactions in QuickBooks Desktop

Go with the below if you want to download using Direct Connect

The very first, when you connect, QuickBooks downloads automatically the maximum possible transactions available from your bank. This is significant as QuickBooks can download. Depending on the bank, it can give you up to one year of past transactions. Most banks can only download the last 90 days.

  • Open QuickBooks and go to the Banking menu and click on it.
  • Later, look for the Bank Feeds and click on Bank Feeds Center.
  • Select the account that you need to connect from the Bank Accounts list. This is optional, under the Send items to your bank section, you are allowed to edit or delete items just by clicking the drop-down.
  • Click on Download Transactions, when you are ready to receive your transactions
  • Note: If you have already downloaded transactions, but have not yet examined them, click on the transaction list. See how to review them here.
  • Click on Synchronize. If you only need to download transactions for a particular account, choose Sync this account. Or if in case you need to download transactions for all your accounts in one bank, click on sync all for this bank.
  • Insert your PIN or password to connect to your bank, under the Access to the window. 
  • Click on OK.

After downloading the transaction, you must match or add any new ones.

Note: You are allowed to delete any remaining (already matched/added) transactions by removing the statement. To avoid duplicate records, you cannot download them again once you delete downloaded transactions.
