Record and make bank deposits in QuickBooks Online
by Intuit•3• Updated 1 month ago
Learn how to combine multiple transactions into a single record so QuickBooks matches your real-life bank deposits.
When you deposit money at the bank, you often deposit multiple payments from different sources at once. The bank usually records everything as a single record with one total. If you enter the same payments as separate records in QuickBooks, they may not match how your bank records the deposit.
In these cases, QuickBooks has a special way for you to combine transactions so your records match your real-life bank deposit.
Here’s how to record bank deposits in QuickBooks Online.
- Put transactions you need to combine into your Undeposited Funds account.
- Then, use the bank deposit feature to combine them.

Step 1: Put transactions into the Undeposited Funds account
If you haven’t already, put invoice payments and sales receipts you want to combine into the Undeposited Funds account. This account holds everything before you record a deposit.
Important: If you use QuickBooks Payments, it automatically processes and moves transactions into your accounts. You can also combine outside payments with these steps. |
Step 2: Combine transactions in QuickBooks with a bank deposit
Each bank deposit creates a separate record in QuickBooks. Make deposits one at a time for each of your deposit slips.
- Select + New.
- Select Bank deposit.
- From the Account ▼ dropdown, select the account you want to put the money into.
- Select the checkbox for each transaction you want to combine.
- Make sure the total of the selected transactions matches your deposit slip. Use your deposit slip as a reference.
- Select Save and new or Save and close.
Important: All transactions in your Undeposited Funds account appear in the bank deposit window. If there are any missing, add them to the Undeposited Funds account. |
