Changing the default bank account

  • January 23, 2019

I recently changed banks, set that new bank account up in Quickbooks, had to use the old one for a while until I set up everything that is involved when changing banks. I have now closed the old account, but it still comes up as the default bank account for all my transactions: payments, payroll, etc. How do I change the default bank account to my new one?

        How long does it take for the deposit/withdrawal from QB take to get to the new account so you can verify the accout?


        Welcome to the QuickBooks Community, @USMC1.

         

        Usually it takes about 2 to 3 business days and an additional 2 to 3 business days once the test deposit/withdrawal to the bank is verified. Approximately, 7 days to set up including verifying your bank account for security purposes. 

         

        If it's not yet verified on the said date, I suggest reaching out to our live support. They have the tools to pull up your account to verify and fix it for you. 

         

        For additional information about verifying test transaction, you can check out this article link: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/verify-test-transactions/verify-test-transaction/00/370811.
