Hi there, beverley5. An ABN is currently required to establish a direct bank connection in QuickBooks Online (QBO). I know you mentioned being able to do this for years before refinancing, but due to current connection requirements, the ABN is now necessary.
However, you can still seamlessly manage your property's finances. Since you do not have an ABN, the best alternative is to manually upload your bank transactions into QBO. This allows you to bypass the direct connection entirely while keeping your records accurate and up to date.
