Received an error transferring available balance into an envelope in Quickbooks checking and the money disappeared from the account. I can’t get hold of someone. Help?

I know how important this is for you, and I want to make sure this is well taken care of.

Transferring money from existing funds in your QuickBooks Checking account to an envelope is instantaneous. If you're transferring money from an outside account, it takes 3-5 business days. This is standard for ACH transfers. The money first goes to your QuickBooks Checking account, and then it gets moved to your envelope.

If it is beyond the period, I'd suggest reaching out to your bank since the error message contains your bank information and account balance. It is to know if there's an existing issue on their end that affects your transaction.

If the balance is reflected in your QuickBooks Checking account, we'll need to put the money back in your envelope. Here's how: 

1. Go to Banking services, then select QuickBooks Checking (Take me there).
2. Choose the Envelopes section, then select the envelope you want to put money into.
3. Tap Get or send money, and click Transfer money.
4. In the From field, select your QuickBooks Checking account. You can also choose one of your connected bank accounts. Enter the amount you want to put into the envelope.
5. In the To field, make sure you selected the correct envelope.
6. Enter the amount you want to put into the envelope and then select Next.
7. Press Continue when the transfer request finishes.

However, if the same thing happens, I recommend contacting our Payments Support for further assistance. One of our specialists can look into this further in a safe environment.

Thank you for the prompt response. The third party payment processor deposited the money into my Quickbooks Checking account and I was transferring that money into an existing envelope, when I received the error message. The issue is that the instantaneous transfer from QB Checking to existing envelope failed (error message received), and somehow the money disappeared from my QB Checking account. Such a horrific glitch…
