Thank you for elaborating on your concern regarding the absence of the 4-digit numbers following a received transaction, bobleilich.

 

QuickBooks Online depends on the bank's data to populate the description of your transactions. This indicates that your financial institution determines how the information is sent and received by QuickBooks. Thus, it displays the exact information when syncing entries.

 

As a workaround, manually upload transactions using a CSV file that your bank provides. This allows you to bypass any limitations and guarantee precise transaction descriptions in QuickBooks Online. Make sure to review the file format and size before doing so.

 

If interested in exploring this option, check out this guide to ensure the accuracy of the data shown in the program and prevent duplicates: Exclude a bank transaction you downloaded into QuickBooks Online.
