Can anyone tell me how to add a bank account to QuicBooks, which was in the program but did not reflect the transactions? Probably was connected to another account.

Hello there, kilioglo5.

I want to ensure you can utilize the online banking feature in QuickBooks Online (QBO) and have your connected accounts show transactions.

Before you connect your bank to online banking in QBO, it's important to know how your bank sends the downloaded transactions.

If the transactions download to one account, you should only connect to the parent account. However, if the bank transactions need to show in the individual accounts, you'll need to connect them one at a time. This way, you'll see the account balances for each register. Thus, in your case, I recommend first checking how your transactions download.

To gain a better understanding of the parent and subaccounts setup, you can refer to this article: About bank or credit card subaccount setup.

Once you've sorted everything out, you can reconcile your bank account. You can find a helpful guide in this article: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online. It covers steps to address balance issues and ways to modify completed reconciliations.

However, if you mean something else, please let us know and provide additional details so we can provide the right resolution for you, kilioglo5. We're here to help.

Hello, Mirriam, I followed the instructions but unfortunately it did not work. Most often when connecting it gives the following error. I send you a photo of the error. On the advice of the assistant with whom we spoke yesterday, I tried to connect by different browser but no result. 

Sorry, an expected error has occurred. We could not fetch your accounts from your bank.

Thank you for sharing updates after following the steps outlined in this thread and how your call went yesterday, kilioglo5. Let me provide some valuable information to address this situation.

Firstly, could you provide the name of your bank institution and let us know if you've attempted to access your online banking outside of QuickBooks Online? Any additional details would be greatly beneficial in pinpointing the underlying cause.

Below are potential reasons for the difficulty in connecting your bank account:

• Certain banks may have multiple names listed in QuickBooks Online, so checking and selecting the correct one or trying all possible bank URLs could be helpful.
• Your bank may not be compatible with certain account types, such as business or personal accounts.
• The bank may not be a participating bank.
• It's possible that the bank is currently undergoing system maintenance

I recommend reaching out to your bank to inquire about any maintenance updates or requests related to establishing a connection with QuickBooks. After confirming that there are no issues from the bank's end, recheck if the correct bank name was selected when linking the account.

Though you've already been in touch with our support team, I would still advise reaching out to our phone support team. This will allow for a thorough investigation of your account and could lead to the initiation of a broader inquiry if a widespread issue is identified.

Once the connection is established, you can refer to the following resources for managing your bank transactions:

• Categorize online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online
