How to Set Up Bank Feeds
In just a few steps, you will be ready to download bank or
credit card transactions into your QuickBooks file:
- Verify your financial institution participates. From the menu

Up Bank Feed for an Account. You can also access the setup
from the New or Edit Account window, by selecting the Set
Up Bank Feeds button at the bottom of the window. The Find
Your Bank window displays, as shown here:
Most of the popular financial institutions participate.
- In the Enter Your Bank’s Name field, begin typing the financial
institutions name, or select from the list on the right.
- If the bank or credit card participates, Step 2 in the Bank
Feed Setup automatically displays. Type your User ID and Password.
If you are having any troubles with the setup, contact information
for your bank or credit card provider is listed on each of the
setup windows, as shown below:
This User ID and Password is from your online setup with your
financial institution.
- Next, in Step 3, from the QuickBooks Accounts drop-down select
an existing QuickBooks account, or create a new account. This step
directs which QuickBooks account you want the Bank Feeds
transactions to be downloaded into, as shown here:
Here you associate your online bank or credit card with an
account in QuickBooks.
- Step 4: Success! message displays in the Bank Feed Setup
window. Click Close to complete the setup. You are
now ready to manage your bank feeds in QuickBooks.
Now you can begin using Bank Feeds for this account.
