The Bank Detail field on downloaded transactions does not show all data from the bank. A trial in competing product shows different data for that same field. Suggestions?

Hi jridout, 

We depend on what transactions are being downloaded from your bank. You'll want to reach out to them to post the exact and complete bank details. Meantime, you'll want to set the banking settings to copy the bank details to the memo field so you can edit it before or after you match/add it. Just a heads up that if you bank details and memo fields have different info, you may disregard this option. The memo might be cleared and changed. 

Let me show you how: 

1. Go to the Banking or Transactions menu. 
2. Click Banking and then the bank tile.
3. Above the ACTION column, click the small gear icon.
4. Check the Copy bank detail to memo box. 
5. Press F5 to refresh.

Not all the Bank Detail is being captured.  The last 15 characters are dropped.  Is there a way for Quickbooks to capture all the Bank Detail data

Hi there, @chris_centurelli. I'm here, and I'll share some details about bank details not fully captured in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

I understand how important it is to be able to see all the characters in the bank details in QBO. Please know that QuickBooks drops off 15 characters from the bank details for security reasons. To get through this, you can reach out to your bank. This way, they can provide you detailed information about the transaction.

Additionally, here's an article in case you'd like to add old transactions to your QBO account: Manually upload transactions into QuickBooks Online.

How do I speak with a knowledgeable qbo specialist?

Hello @chris_centurelli,

Thanks for getting back to us about your banking concern. Allow me to chime in and provide additional clarification about the bank feeds in QuickBooks Online.

The information that reflects in QuickBooks will depend on the data your bank shares with us. Once you link your account, bank transactions are downloaded automatically based on the details they provide to us.

Your bank relays the information into our system, and we upload it. You can check with your bank on how they provide the bank description details for users who connect their bank to third-party apps like QuickBooks.

I'm having an issue with the first part of the memo - which includes vendor information. It is only populating beginning with "Transaction ID:" usually. I need ALL of the info to populate.

Hello there, 

Your bank provides us with the data that we import into QBO. Your financial details may not be visible, for your financial institution likely conceals them for security purposes. With this, you'll want to contact your bank institution and request the full financial details.

Once you get the information, feel free to browse these articles to manage your online banking entries in QBO:

• Categorize and match online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.
• Set up bank rules to categorize online banking transactions in QuickBooks Online.

For additional QuickBooks-related concerns, don't hesitate to post them here in the Community. We're always available and willing to lend a hand to your queries. Have a great day ahead.
