I can't seem to set up "Bank Payments". The "connect Bank" link does not work, and the "Change" link doesn't work either. Can anyone help me with this?

Hi there, @joe40. I can help you with setting up bank payments in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

A browser-related issue may affect your experience in setting up your bank account. For now, I'd suggest performing the steps through a private window to narrow down the result. Here are the keyboard shortcuts:

• Google Chrome: press Ctrl + Shift + N
• Mozilla Firefox: press Ctrl + Shift + P 
• Safari: press Command + Shift + N

If it works, clear the cache of your main browser to remove browser history. Otherwise, use another supported browser as an alternative.

If you can't click on the Connect Bank or Change tab, it's possible that the pop-up windows are being blocked. You can run through solutions provided in this article to fix the error: Why doesn't anything happen when I select a button or link?.

On the other hand, I'm adding this helpful article as additional tips while setting up or connecting a bank account for payments: How To Setup And Use QuickBooks Payments.

Additionally, here's how you can link an account to QuickBooks to download your income and expenses automatically: Connect bank and credit card accounts to QuickBooks Online.

Let me know in the comment section below if you have follow-up concerns while connecting your bank. I'm always here to provide additional assistance. Wishing you a good one!

I tried all your solutions and the links still don't work.
