Can we extend description characters from bank data feed?

I've got you covered, @dadio.

I'll share some insights about how the description of bank transactions works in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

First off, here's a clarification of the distinction between the two fields for bank transaction information in QuickBooks:

• The bank text is exactly the information QuickBooks receives from the bank. The bank text is the transaction you'd see listed in your bank account or on your bank statement.
• The description is a simplified version of the bank text to make it easier to understand. For example, QuickBooks might simplify bank text to just say a vendor name.

Based on your scenario, it seems that QuickBooks simplified the bank text from the Description field. However, since the description is displayed in your list of transactions by default, you can follow these steps to show the bank text instead:

1. Go to the Banking menu, then select the Banking tab.
2. Click the Gear ⚙ icon located on the banking page.
3. Put a checkmark in the Show bank details box.
   
   

After that, the Description section will be changed to the Bank Detail section, and you can now see the exact information from your bank.

Once everything's good with your bank transactions, you can visit these resources that will help you speed up the review process of your online bank transactions:
