Banking does not recognize over the counter bank transactions

Hello there, howardtm.

QuickBooks recognizes transactions with blank Descriptions. And yes, you're correct that there's something we'll need to double-check on your bank settings to let the program bring those transactions. I recommend reaching out to the bank's support department for the accurate steps on where to do it.

It's a good thing that you've uploaded them already using the CSV file. To keep your bank transactions organized in QuickBooks, you can use the articles below as your guide:

• Categorize and match online bank transactions. 
• Learn how to reconcile your accounts so they match your bank and credit card statements. 

Please don't hesitate to post again if you have other questions. Stay safe and be well!

What settings do you need my bank's support to check?

I am using HSBC HK.

Thanks for coming back for more support, @howardtm. 

You've mentioned in your first post that your bank said it's in the bank settings. I'd recommend you call your bank again to help you check which settings do you need to enable all transactions to share with QuickBooks. 

I know how you want to download those over the counter transactions to your bank feeds. As an additional insights, all transactions downloaded to QuickBooks Online is dependent on the data provided or allowed from your financial institution's (FI) website. 

Also, you can update your connected bank account in QuickBooks in case you'll experience the same issue in the future. Please note that this has to be done before manually uploading your transactions in the system to avoid duplicates. 

Here are the steps to update your bank in QuickBooks for your future reference:  

1. Go to the Banking menu on the left panel. 
2. Click on the Banking link.
3. Select your HSBC HK bank account, then click on the Update button.

This procedure will refresh your bank connections with QuickBooks to bring in the transactions.
