Setup vendor bank account details

I would like to pay vendors by ACH. How can I setup banking details (bank account #, routing number) for a vendor? How can I update the banking details later on?

 

Thanks.

Setup vendor bank account details

I'm here to show you how to set up a vendor for ACH or bank transfer, ram_nagarajan.

 

There are two steps on how to pay your vendor by ACH or bank transfer. One option is to set it up by either entering the vendor's bank account manually and the second option is by inviting the vendor.

 

To add a vendor's bank account, follow these steps.

  1. Navigate to the Pay bills online page by the following:
    • Select + New. Then Pay Bills Online.
    • Selecting the Bill Pay Online dashboard widget.
    • Selecting the Expense tab, then Pay Bills Online.
  2. To set up a vendor with open bills, select Set up Bank Transfers within the same line as the Payee. (Note: To set up a vendor before there are open bills select Set up vendors for bank transfers. You'll need the account number for the vendor.)
  3. Select Enter vendor's bank account info.
  4. Choose Next.
  5. Enter the vendor's bank account information.
  6. Click Save.

For the steps on how to invite a vendor, check this out:

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Navigate to the Pay bills online page by the following:
    • Select + New. Then Pay Bills Online.
    • Selecting the Bill Pay Online dashboard widget.
    • Selecting the Expense tab, then Pay Bills Online.
  3. To set up a vendor with open bills, select Set up Bank Transfers within the same line as the Payee.

Actually, I want to review and update ACH details for a vendor. Can you tell me how to update ACH details for a vendor?

 

Thanks,

Joining the thread to help share how you're able to set up your vendor's account details, @ram_nagarajan.

 

In QuickBooks Online, reviewing and updating the ACH details to online payment for vendors can be done directly on the Online Bill Pay widget. Thus, the first set of instructions above is the steps you need to follow to update your vendor's bank account information.

 

Therefore, I'm adding this article to learn more about setting up and paying your vendors online: Pay a Vendor by Bank Transfer (ePayment/ACH) in QuickBooks Online.

 

You may read this reference for a deeper understanding of how to pay a vendor electronically: Get Paid by ACH Transfers or eCheck.

 

It'll always be my pleasure to help if you've got questions besides setting up a vendor's account information. I'll surely be around ready to assist you. Take care and stay safe!

Thanks for the help on this.  I see how I can manually edit a vendors ACH info but is there a way to have them enter it themselves like they do when I set up a new vender?  I would like to send my current venders an email invite to update their ACH info themselves.  

 

Thanks!
