Why doesn't QB recognize the balance of the my bank account ? It is always zero. I manually update the account.

Let's get the bank balance updated, Ksullivan.

 

The bank's balance is affected by the downloaded transactions on the Banking page. It's good work on your part to update the account manually. It refreshes the connection between your financial institution and our program. 

 

However, if it still shows zero, even there are transactions, you're probably experiencing browser issues. Let's perform some basic troubleshooting. We'll start by opening your account through an incognito window. It's the best place to isolate these browser hiccups. These are the shortcut keys:

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

If you're able to see the bank balance from there, go back to your regular browser, then clear the cache to refresh the account. 

 

Moreover, you can use a different browser to help us narrow the cause of this behavior.

 

Once it's all good, you can categorize and match the downloaded transactions

 

If you need anything else, you can always leave a comment below. We'll reply as soon as possible.

Thank you, I followed the instructions to clear the cache for the Windows app. The balances are still zero.

Thanks for keeping us posted, ksullivan.

 

Did you receive an error message after manually updating your account? I'd recommend reaching out to our Customer Support Team since you receive the same unusual response after manually updating and performing the browser troubleshooting steps.
