You've come to the right place for assistance, JELLC5. Accurate bank information is crucial for seamless operations in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). Let's work together to update your financial institution's name, routing number, and account number.
The name, account number, and routing digits are essential for QB to connect to the correct bank account when online services are activated. Once done, these cannot be changed. However, if there are changes to this data, we can disconnect the Bank Feeds for this account and then reconnect with the updated details.
Please note that QB won't let you unlink an account if it has transactions left for review. You'll need to categorize them first.
Here's a step-by-step process for making your modifications:
- Go to Lists and choose Chart of Accounts.
