Download statements from your financial institution by visiting the Online Banking Center, selecting your financial institution, checking off the account(s) you wish to download, and then clicking "Send/Receive Transactions."

Once you've downloaded your transactions, simply match them to your records and easily reconcile your account.

Create Online Transactions All in One Place!

Transfer Funds Online1

You can transfer funds online between any two accounts at the same financial institution.

To transfer funds online, go to the Online Banking Center, select "Transfer Funds", and then select the "Online Funds Transfer" checkbox. Then send your transfer from the Online Banking Center in QuickBooks.

Make Online Payments2

Write checks or pay bills as you normally would in QuickBooks. Select "Online Bank Payment" and choose the date when you'd like the payment to be delivered (allow up to 4 days to process). Then send your payments from the Online Banking Center within QuickBooks, and the payments will be made by the delivery date. It's that easy!
