Is there a way to connect an American Express Business Checking/Savings Account to QB?
Thanks for dropping by the Community, ksachse1.
Yes, it is possible to connect your American Express checking account to QuickBooks Self-Employed.
To connect your American Express checking account in QuickBooks Self-Employed, follow these steps:
You can utilize this article to learn how to categorize the transactions you download from your bank or enter into QuickBooks: Categorize transactions in QuickBooks Self-Employed.
Feel free to drop by the Community if you have further QuickBooks-related queries. Have a holly, jolly holiday.
Go to Bookkeeping and select Transactions to review, add, and match them. Note: You can attach one American Express Business login to your QuickBooks company. But you can connect as many cards to that login as you'd like. If you have both personal and business American Express accounts, connect them one at a time.

I am seeing no option for American Express Business Checking. Every other option showing for American Express involves Personal banking/credit cards or just business credit cards. I need to connect my AMEX Business Checking account to my Quickbooks.
Hi there, Backcountry Drones.
I'll help you connect your American Express Business checking account to QuickBooks.
Since you can't find the AMEX Business Checking account on the list, we can perform some basic troubleshooting steps. In some cases, unexpected behaviors from the program are caused by stored cache and site data in a browser.
You can rule this out by using an incognito window:
If it works, go back to the regular browser and clear the cache. You can also use another supported browser.
However, if the issue persists, you can manually upload your bank transactions in QuickBooks. Here's how:

Hi,
We're concerned about American Express BUSINESS Checking, not the American express Checking.
Best regards.

Thank you, I tried to locate the AMEX BUSINESS CHECKING bank option in the "Add an account" menu and there was no AMEX BUSINESS CHECKING option.
Are you sure that it's an available bank option?
Also, kindly note that I am inquiring here because manually uploading transactions has been time-consuming, so I do not want to manually handle transactions anymore.
Please advise,
Kaila
Thank you, I tried to locate the AMEX BUSINESS CHECKING bank option in the "Add an account" menu and there was no AMEX BUSINESS CHECKING option.
Kindly note that I am neither referring to an AMEX business credit card nor an AMEX personal checking account.
Please advise,

Thank you Maybelle -- I've already requested a few times over the past 6-7 months.
Hoping there's a full solution soon.
Been requesting this for a year
Same, if I don’t have the ability to
link my Amex business checking I’ll be canceling QuickBooks next month. No reason why it’s so hard to link these accounts when they offer to link Amex Credit Cards already.
Yes! This is extremely frustrating and no matter how regularly I import the csv file, my account is always reconciling incorrectly. Even a QB bookkeeper couldn't fix it. It's either dump QB or switch checking accounts at this point.
Very happy with my American Express Business Checking, but I can't understand the slowness of QuickBooks syncing with this bank.
This is not what we want you to experience, @KBrasil.
I know how you would want to sync your American Express Business Checking account to QuickBooks Online (QBO). However, this bank is currently not yet supported by Intuit.
Updates to our online banking procedures, such as support for banks not connected to us, are handled by our engineers. However, we are unable to estimate the amount of time it might take, and there is no certainty that an agreement with American Express Business Checking will be established. Since they are still working on it internally, we are unable to offer any additional details at this time.
With this, I'd recommend requesting support for your bank. Here's how:
As a workaround, you can manually upload the transactions from your bank's website and download them from there.
Additionally, you may utilize these articles for future use in reviewing downloading and credit card transactions to put them in the correct accounts:
Feel free to get back here in the Community if you need more assistance connecting your bank to QBO. Keep safe.
Use MT Online or one of the converter tools (e.g csv2qbo) as a workaround.

I am requesting support for Amex Business checking also... Just submitted the request.
I was actually able to get this to work by selecting American Express (Banking) and entering my AMEX login in information..
Works for me too with AMEX Business Checking! Thanks for updating about this.
So glad they seem to have finally added integration for AMEX fully.
I had higher hopes for the connection. Every time I sync my AMEX Business Checking, I am asked to verify my info. This doesn't happen for my AMEX Business CC. MikeAmb, are you seeing the same thing?
I connected it yesterday and had to do verification twice. I just checked now, and it does show it was unable to refresh the account and requires new verification. So it's probably true, it is not going to work automatically.
I don't actively use my AMEX business checking so I'm just going to remove it. Hopefully this does end up working in the future.
What specific option did you use for the amex business checking? I don't see one that says "American Express (Banking)". Only one that says "American Express Bank, FSB" that is the personal savings website.
type "American Express (Banking)" into the search
