SOLVEDby QuickBooks34Updated September 14, 2023

Learn how to connect your Commonwealth Bank (CBA) account to QuickBooks Online via Direct Feeds for a more secure and realiable sync of your transaction data.

Only Business and Personal bank accounts are supported by CBA Direct Feeds. Refer to this article to connect any other account type to QuickBooks.

Please allow for up to 1-2 business days for your CBA Direct Feed to connect up to QuickBooks once the bank feed has been activated.

How to connect your CBA account to Direct Feeds

  1. Go to Transactions, then select Bank transactions (Take me there).
  2. Select Link account on the top-right corner of the screen.

    If you already have an existing CBA account you connected to QuickBooks, select the Get a better connection link under your CBA bank account to "merge" this incoming Direct Feed connection to that account.

  8. Print the Customer Authority to Disclose Information Form and get all signatories to sign it, then scan the form back to your computer and email it to intuitforms@siss.com.au. Alternatively, you can post the form to:
    Mail: SISS Data Services Pty Ltd
    Locked Bag 3060
    Crows Nest, NSW, 1585

Once you have emailed the form, you should receive a reply email from SISS acknowledging receipt of the form. From this point, your CBA Direct Feed should be established in up to 10 business days. If the form is taking longer than 10 days to establish, get in contact with our team for further assistance.

You'll see a new placeholder Bank Feed Card on this page and it will automatically update with the next steps when your authority form is received and processed by SISS.
