Learn how to connect a bank account to QuickBooks Online using the QuickBooks mobile app.

When your accounts are connected, QuickBooks Online automatically downloads your bank transactions. We'll show you how to easily connect them.

  1. Go to Menu, then Accounting, then select Bank transactions.

  2. Select + to add an account.

  3. Search for your bank. Or choose from the list of popular banks.

  4. Select your bank from the search results.

  5. Sign in to your bank.

  6. Follow the steps to select an account to connect to.

  7. Select a QuickBooks Online account the bank account should map to.

When you first connect an account, it can take a few minutes for the downloaded transactions to appear. Future downloads should be much faster.
