I'm here to help you bring your transactions into QuickBooks Online (QBO), userdcavanaugh.

 

Once your bank account is connected, QuickBooks automatically downloads your transaction. Since the bank data are missing, there are several reasons why this occurs. And I've listed them below:

  • A connection issue between your bank and QBO.
  • The financial institution’s server is offline.
  • Some banks and credit card companies don't post transactions for download until later in the day or the next morning.
  • Depending on which bank it will show a transaction on their website but won't download the transaction until it posts.
  • If the missing transactions are the most recent ones, wait at least 24 hours in case your bank doesn't make them available immediately.

 

For now, let's perform a manual update to download the missing entries from your bank. I'll guide you how.

  1. Go to the Banking menu.
  2. Select Banking beside Bank Rules.
  3. On the Banking page, select Update. QuickBooks Online updates all your connected bank and credit card accounts. If you only want to update some accounts, select the unwanted ones to exclude them from the update, and then select Update Now.

 

For more information about the process, I encourage you to check out this article: What To Do if Bank Transactions Won’t Download?.

 

If the issue persists, I suggest updating your bank account sign-in information. This helps re-establish the connection.

 

Additionally, I've included an article that'll guide you in reviewing your bank data. Doing so helps you ensure your books are accurate: Categorize and Match Online Bank Transactions.

 

Keep us updated if you have other questions about connecting your bank with QuickBooks. This way, we'll be able to assist you.

Again today, balances updated and no transactions were brought over. It did ask me to re-log into the bank account before the balances updated. BTW - it is Fifth Third if that helps you figure it out.

Thank you for reaching back out to the QuickBooks Community, userdcavanaugh. Since the balance is updating yet there are missing transactions, let's double-check to make sure this isn't browser-related. First, use a private web browser and log into your program. This method eliminates store cookies, history, or any form of data that could cause problems.

 

  • Google Chrome:Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Internet Explorer: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Safari: Command + Shift + N

Once you are signed in, check to see if the transactions have been downloaded. If so, this would indicate that your cache needs to be cleared. Clearing cache will remove data corruptions, allowing the page to load a clean copy. Depending on your browser, follow this link to clear the cache. In the meantime, you can refer to this article to manually upload transactions into QuickBooks Online.

 

If you're still encountering any problems, don't hesitate to let us know. My team and I will be here to assist you. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
