Linking the bank account is not possible. Can you help me?

I recognize the need to connect your bank account, @invoicing-golici. Let's ensure you'll be able to link your bank account in QuickBooks Online.

 

To begin with, could you please specify the bank errors you have encountered while trying to link your bank account? Knowing this will enable us to identify the most suitable solutions for your concern. Also, could you provide the name of your financial institution? This information will allow me to check our records for any potential bank connection issues. You may have an issue linking or connecting to your bank in QuickBooks Online (QBO) based on the following criteria:

 

  • Your bank has multiple names on our list. Make sure you have selected the correct listing or have tried all possible links. Search by the banking sign-in URL to ensure you are using the correct listing.
  • Your bank does not connect to all types of accounts (for example, personal accounts vs business accounts).

 

Your bank's URL will be automatically updated in QuickBooks as long as it is supported for online banking connections. To ensure we're linking the correct account, as an initial step, I suggest going to your bank's website. Once signed in, copy the bank URL and use it for searching and linking the correct account in QuickBooks. Here's how: 

 

  1. From the left menu, click Transactions and choose Banking.
  2. On the Banking page, select the Link account.
  3. In the Search field, enter the bank's URL.
  4. Select your bank. If you see multiple options, you may have to repeat these steps to find the correct one.
  5. Enter your bank login on your bank's website, then select Continue.

 

However, if you have tried all the options matching your bank's name and still can't connect, or if your bank doesn't appear, check this article for more details and to learn how to request support for your bank: Find your bank or credit card account.

 

Once connected, QuickBooks will automatically download your most recent transactions, and you can begin categorizing the uploaded transactions in QBO: Categorize online bank transactions.

 

If you have further concerns about linking your bank account, please tag me in the comment section, @invoicing-golici. I'll assist you in any way possible.

Try opening your QBO account on any private/incognito browser.

Good morning, thank you for your message.
As soon as I type the name of the bank wise.com I get an error message ¨If you need to connect to banks with different currencies, upgrade to QuickBooks Online Essentials or Plus.¨

We have multiple accounts with other currencies but from now on we will only use USD

Thanks for getting back here in the thread, invoicing. Let me share some details on the error message you've encountered when connecting your bank in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

You'll encounter the error message if the system detects your financial institution as a non-US bank. To resolve this, we can turn on the Multicurrency feature to connect one of your accounts even if you're only interested in using USD currency.

 

If you're using QBO Essentials, Plus, and Advanced version, follow these steps to turn on the feature:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon, then click on Account and Settings.
  2. Select Advanced.
  3. Tap on Edit ✎ in the Currency section and choose your Home Currency.
  4. Select the Multicurrency checkbox and confirm that you understand that you can't undo this option.
  5. Hit Save, then Done.

 

Once done, we can add accounts that use a foreign currency. If you have the QBO Simple Start version, we can manually upload transactions into the program or upgrade your subscription.

 

Moreover, I've added these articles to help you manage banking transactions and resolve unexpected behavior when trying to update your bank transactions:

 

 

Keep me posted if you have other questions about connecting your bank or any QuickBooks-related concerns. I'm always here to help. Stay safe always.

Good morning,
I upgraded to quickbooks Essentials. Unfortunately, I still cannot link the bank and enable online payments because we do not have an SSN number. How can I do it differently? I do have an EIN number
