The business has 2 checking accounts and they're not linked to the bank. how can I record a transfer within them?

Welcome to the Community, @aura1.

You'll need to manually record the fund transfer made from your checking accounts in QuickBooks Online. The steps below will help you accomplish this goal:

1. Click on the + New button at the left pane.
2. Press on Transfer.
3. On the Transfer Funds From box, select the bank account where funds are coming from.
4. From the Transfer Funds to section, choose the account where the funds will be deposited to.
5. Enter the amount being transferred, in the Transfer Amount field.
6. Put a description in the Memo field if necessary.
7. Hit on Save and Close.

I've attached some screenshots for visual reference:

Hello Betty JaneB,

Thank you for your help.  Question: Do I need to follow each step even thought the accounts are not linked via online with the bank institution? In other words I do not get bank feeds.
