Hello all,
Our bank has been bought by another bank. How do I change our banks name in chart of accounts?
or do I just stop using that bank and make a new one all together? not sure how this works for our tax stuff. Appreciate the help as we are new to this and are a small plumbing company who manages QB in house.
Seeing new members join the QuickBooks Community forum excites me, papaco. It’s nice to welcome fresh faces and perspectives to our vibrant community. As you navigate this platform, I want you to know I’m here to assist you every step of the way. Specifically, I’ll help you update your new bank institution in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) so that you can manage your finances smoothly and efficiently.
Before we proceed, I'll need to clarify a few things. May I know if the account in question is linked to online banking? If it is, you'll need to disconnect and then reconnect the connection. This process enables the system to recognize the new network between your old and new bank accounts. Before proceeding, please ensure all transactions from the specified account have been categorized or matched.
On the other hand, if it isn't connected to online banking you can manually update your bank information in Chart of Accounts. If you also want to use the same register, you may follow this approach:
Alternatively, if you prefer to track your transactions separately, you'll need to set up a new bank account and merge it with the old account. This way, a clear understanding of your financial activities is achieved, ensuring compliance with the various tax policies and regulations. You can connect or manually add it through the Charts of Accounts page. While the decision to modify your bank information ultimately depends on your preferences, setting up a new account may be a more suitable option if it isn't connected to online banking. This approach creates a fresh connection and helps ensure more accurate financial records.

You do realize that this topic is categorized for QuickBooks Desktop and that, therefore, your instructions regarding QBO are about as helpful as a soggy piece of cardboard.
