Why QBO from Fifth third direct is not imported in Quick book desktop

Fifth Third Direct is not compatible with Quick books , in order to download transactions you need to have log in for Fifththird.com online banking, there you can download all the transactions as QFX file and then convert the QFX file to QBO and then import the QBO file to your Quick books, 

Hi there, @smart114.

The investigation 24116 has already closed and resolved. You should be able to download transactions from your bank using Direct Connect. Currently, you can access the Fifth third bank or credit card account, and payments through Direct Connect. 

To check other banks that support online banking in QuickBooks, you can go to the Banking menu, click Bank Feeds, then select Participating Financial Institutions.

Here's how:

1. From the Banking menu, select Bank Feeds, then choose Bank Feeds Center.
2. From the BANK ACCOUNTS list, choose the account you need to connect.
3. Select Download Transactions if you are ready to send and receive transactions. Please take note that if you have previously downloaded transactions and have not processed them yet, the button label reads Transaction List.
4. Select Synchronize, then choose Sync this account to update all incoming and outgoing transactions.
5. In the Access to [FI name] dialog box that appears, type your PIN or password.
6. Select OK.

If you get the same result, I agree with Established Member @smart114 workaround. 

Once you finish downloading the bank feeds, you can refer to the following article to manage them: Add and match Bank Feed transactions.

Drop me a comment below if you have additional questions about downloading transactions in QuickBooks. I'll be happy to help you out. Have a wonderful day ahead. 

Hi @sfvaughan. I'm here to lend a hand. 

I like to verify when you're trying to import the .QBO file into your QuickBooks Desktop account (QBDT), have you receive an error message?

There are some reasons why you're encountering web connect issues, and it could be due to the following:

• Files from the bank are incomplete or in the wrong format.
• There might be some changes on your bank's end.

To help fix web connect issues, ensure that you're using a supported version of QuickBooks Desktop and create a back up the QuickBooks company file before any import. 

Once everything is ready, try to import the .qbo file again. If you're still getting an issue, refer to this article and move on to Step 3: Fix Web Connect import errors.

In case you want to connect your bank account in QBDT to download your bank transactions automatically, take a look at this article: Get started with Bank Feeds for QuickBooks Desktop.

However, if you mean something else, please let me know and provide additional details. I'll be looking forward to your reply. Take care.
