Importing Credit Card Transactions

I already have QB connected to my bank and credit card accounts to automatically import, but I just found a whole month missing on one of the CC accounts and a few weeks here and there missing from the bank account. If I manually import transactions, will QB catch any duplicates for me or do I have to check these myself?

Hello there, @Pablogm13.

Thanks for joining this thread about importing transactions in QuickBooks Desktop. I'm here share some more insights.

When uploading your transactions, you still have the option to review all the transactions. You'll have to check it by yourself and remove the duplicates if necessary.

Depending on the mode you're using, please refer to this article for the steps in removing duplicate transaction.

That should keep you going today, Pablogm13. Let me know if there's anything else you need. I'll be around for you. Wishing you all the best!

I use QB 2015, which no longer supports online banking; however my credit card company has never been associates with QB so I have had to download .pdf statements and use a third party converter to make qbo’ or IIF’s which I then import.  Now that my version of QB no longer supports online banking, it will not allow me to manually Import such files.  This is disconcerting to say the least.  I would like to avoid having to upgrade QuickBooks.  Is there any way I can accomplish what I need?

I am using QB 2015, which no longer supports online banking.  However,  neither my bank nor my credit card provider has ever been associated with QB (they therefore have no FID). Therefore, I have always downloaded .pdf statements and then used a third party software to convert them into QBO’s or IIF’s which I then imported manually.  Now that the online banking has expired for my version of QB, it will no longer allow me to do this.  This is disconcerting.  I really do not want to upgrade to a subscription based version, which I otherwise do not need, just to be able to do this....especially when I have to have third party software to even attempt it.  Is there anyway I can accomplish what I need without upgrading?

Hello @TMGgmt,

Manually uploading your transactions with the unsupported versions of QuickBooks is unavailable. You'll want to update your software to the supported versions at least.

Here's an article you can read to learn more about unsupported versions and service discontinuation: QuickBooks Desktop service discontinuation policy and upgrade information.

You can always visit our Help Articles page in case you need some ideas and references in managing your account and transactions.

If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know in the comments. Always around ready to help.

@TMGgmt 

Utilize the importer tool to import your bank activity into QBD.

Hope it helps.

I don't have a "bank feeds" option in the 2019 Desktop Version I'm using. I'd like to directly connect so transactions automatically post to the desktop version. I tried manually downloading the statement, and it's greyed out, won't let me select it to upload manually either? I do have this account connected to mobile app for mint - and works fine there. But need the info in my QB desktop to manage the business.

I downloaded my credit card transactions, and they show in the credit card register.  I'm going to pay online from my bank, but how does the downloaded info get onto the check stub?

Thanks.

I have closed one of my cc how do I get them into my QuickBooks.   It didn’t pull everything up from this here. 

Hello there, userdennyp92.

If the CC account is disconnected, you'll need to reactivate it so you can download transactions within your company file. On the other hand, if you mean it was closed on the bank's end, you can import them via Web Connect. 

Open a web browser and go to your bank's website. Then, log in to your bank account and download your transactions as a QuickBooks Web Connect (.qbo) file and save it on your desktop. Once done, you can follow the steps below:

1. Go to Banking menu.
2. Click Import Web Connect file under Bank Feeds.
3. Select the file you saved. Click Continue and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.
   

I would also suggest contacting your bank to get other possible options in bringing the transactions to QBDT. Here are some articles that will guide you through keeping them organized:
 

• Edit Bank Feed settings for bank or credit card accounts. 
• Add and match Bank Feed transactions.

I do not have the option under "Banking" that says "Bank Feeds"

I am also trying to upload credit card transactions from Bank of America and I am having no success. I have only been able to upload my checking information.

New to QuickBooks! Thank you for your help. 

I'd be glad to share some info and steps to ensure you can access your bank feeds and import your transactions, @LowcountryNutrition.

For your first concern, there are a couple of possible reasons why you're unable to see the "Banking Feeds" option on the Banking menu. These are the following:

• Your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) is outdated or unsupported.
• Possible company file issue.

To help fix this, let's ensure to update QBDT to the latest release to have the latest features and need patches. Also, please make sure you're using a supported version of QBDT to prevent unexpected QuickBooks responses.

If you meet the above requirements and still unable to see the said option, you can open a sample file to test if you'll get the same outcome. Here's how:

1. Open your QBDT.
2. On the No Company Open screen, select a sample file from the Open a sample file drop-down.
   
3. Access the Banking menu, and locate the Banking Feeds option as you normally would.

If you see the said option, then the original file might be damaged. In this case, I recommend running the QuickBooks Verify and Rebuild tool. This can help identify and repair data damage. 

Here's how to Verify your data (original company file):

1. Go to the File menu at the top.
2. Select Utilities, and then choose Verify Data.
   

If the Verify data detects an issue, you can Rebuild your file. Let me guide you how:

1. Go back to the File menu.
2. Choose Utilities, and then select Rebuild Data.
3. Click OK, and then follow the on-screen prompts to save a backup.
4. Select OK when you see Rebuild has completed.
5. Once done, go to your Banking menu again and check the said option. 

For more info about the process, please check out this article: Verify and Rebuild data in QBDT.

About your second concern, please check if the file format you downloaded from your bank (Bank of America) is a .qbo file. This is the only type of file QuickBooks can read for Web Connect import. 

If the file format is fine and you're still unable to import your data, please log in to your bank's website and check your notification list. If you see any messages about changes, kindly follow the instructions.

If the same thing happens, please proceed to steps 4 to 5 of this article for the additional fixes: Fix Web Connect import errors.

Once everything's good, you can begin adding and matching your transactions to ensure they go to the right accounts and prevent duplicates. To speed up this process, you can create bank rules in QBDT.

Lastly, you can reconcile your account to ensure the accuracy of your books.

You're always welcome to comment back if you have more questions about managing your banking in QBDT. I'd be happy to help you some more. Take care and enjoy your day.

I am trying to import credit card transactions into Quickbooks 2019 for Mac DESKTOP. In my one account it won't recognize the account as a credit card. In my other account it won't allow it to import at all. It doesn't see it as a new account so I can't even select Credit Card. What's the fix please? Thanks

Let's run the verify and rebuild steps, JVizza.

It is to isolate if your company file has data issues. 

You can do that by going to the File menu. Under Utilities, select Verify Data. Then, OK. If you see an error message, you can try searching for it on our QuickBooks Desktop Help page. If you are prompt with Your data has failed the integrity check, you'll have to rebuild the file. 

Here's how:

1. Click the File menu.
2. Under Utilities, select Verify Data.
3. Once the rebuild's complete, click OK.

Afterward, let's categorize the transactions again. I've added this reference for more information: Add and match Bank Feed transactions in QuickBooks Desktop.

I'm just a post-away if you need help. Keep safe!

Thanks. So I ran the Verify Data and it was all ok. I tried to import that file and here is the message I get
