Bank feed description

Until last week, when matching cleared checks from the bank the "Description" always said "Check" and then the check number. So for instance, it would say "Check 1690". Now it just says "Check Paid". When QB finds more than one possible match, I have no way of knowing which check to match unless I login to the bank to see which checks cleared. I spoke with QB support and they said this is a bank issue, not a QB issue. However, we use two different banks and this became an issue at the same time with both banks for all of our companies, so it sounds more like a QB issue to me. QB support told me to try clearing cookies, and also to try an incognito session. Neither one fixed this issue. I've also tried changing the settings to show the check number, but that column remains blank. How can I get this fixed?

I wish I could make it better, @CE17.

 

Since you're still unable to determine why the check number is not included in the description of your downloaded transaction, I'd recommend contacting our Customer Care Support.

 

Even if you've already reached out to them, only our specialists have the tool to pull up your account on file and investigate the reason behind the unexpected behavior. To do so:

  1. Go to Help.
  2. Select Contact Us.
  3. Enter Downloaded transactions does not include the numbers on the description in the What can we help you with? field.
  4. Click Continue.
  5. Choose a channel where you wish to connect with our specialists.

Additionally, I've also included this reference for a compilation of articles you can use while working with us: Banking with QuickBooks Online.

 

If you have any other questions, please let me know in the comments below. I'll be here to lend a hand.

Thank you, but as I stated in my post I did try to contact support and they were not able to help me.  But this problem somehow fixed itself because now the check number is showing in the check number field (which it never did before).  I strongly suspect the integration was being updated by someone and that's why it didn't work for a few days and now works differently than it did before.  It would just be nice if QB would keep their support staff advised of such things so they could actually be helpful.

I called QBO support a couple days ago and advised them of the same issue many of us were having with banking, they put in a ticket, it seems to be fixed now.

Thanks

I have the same issue. All of a sudden both banks I use - for 9 companies stopped showing me the check number. In the detail from the feed it just says CHECK. I have tried contacting support and they were useless. Told me to contact the bank, but it is clearly not the bank since it happened at the same exact time for 2 different banks.

 

Anyone have any idea? I've tried clearing my cache and using multiple web browsers. I cannot conduct my business with it like this
