Can i connect my bank while in Kenya

Yes, you can connect your bank while you're in another country, Brian. Let me provide you with the steps on how to connect your bank.

Before we begin, may I ask which bank you're using? This will help us determine if QuickBooks Online (QBO) supports it. But you don't have to worry, QBO supports most banks in the United States.

To connect your bank account, here's how:

1. Go to Transactions and select Bank transactions.
2. Click Link Account.
3. You can search for your bank by name or URL or choose it from the list. If it’s not listed, you can upload transactions manually.
4. Click Continue.
5. Sign in to your bank in the pop-up window.
6. Choose the account and date range to pull transactions, then click Next.
   • Some banks allow transactions from the last 90 days, while others may allow up to 24 months.
7. Select the account type that matches your QuickBooks chart, then click Next.
   • Choose either a Bank or Credit Card. For Banks, specify Savings or Checking.
8. Name the account and click Save and Close.
9. Map the bank account in the dropdown, then click Next.
10. Click Connect, then Done.
11. Back on the Bank Transactions screen, click Update to download recent transactions automatically.
    
    

You can check the categories for automatically downloaded transactions when you connect your bank to QuickBooks Online. QuickBooks suggests categories based on how you've categorized similar transactions. Refer to this article: Categorize online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.
