Limit QuickBooks access to my bank account

I would recommend to disconnect your bank feed and use the importer tool to import your bank transactions manually.

Hi there, 

Welcome to the Community. It's essential to access your banking transactions to keep your books up to date. QuickBooks Online is a great program that gives you the ability to easily track your sales and expenses. I'd be glad to help.
 

When you connect your bank to QuickBooks, the program automatically accesses your bank transactions to keep your account up to date. You can disconnect your bank account from QuickBooks and manually upload your bank transactions using an ofx, qfx, qbo, or csv Excel file.

If you'd like to include the option to update your bank transactions only when you're actually logged into QuickBooks and manually authorize access, I recommend that you send us Feedback by clicking on the Gear icon at the top. This is sent to our Development Team to consider for future updates.

Let me know if you have questions, I'll be happy to help.

in 2024 with 2 factor auth and the worry about having bank accounts getting access, QB needs to let users say NO to its logging in when we DONT want it to.

Users should be able to CHOOSE WHEN QBO accesses our accounts. 

and that would NOT be in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT....because my bank pings me and wants to know if its legit.

Please let users have a little checkbook that says "auto log in whenever we want" or "let user do it on their own".

When i reconcile, i already click the UPDATE button that lets me hit my bank accounts and bring in anything that wasn't already there. i mean the ability to do it is already there!!!!!  

thx, ron 

I am having the exact same issue and it's most annoying.  Every night between 1 and 2 am Quickbooks attempts to log in to my bank account and I get a Pop Up message on my phone.  I enter all my transactions manually so there's no need for Quickbooks to access my accounts no matter what so I don't understand why this is happening.  It's been going on for a month now and is annoying enough for me to switch accounting software.  

Please send me instructions as to how to disable this feature.  It's taken me a lot of time and angst to find out that it was Quickbooks in the first place but the bank finally gave me the IP address and informed me that it was indeed your company.  Prior to that I thought I was being hacked so it's been extremely unnerving.  Please tell me what to do to STOP IT FROM HAPPENING!
