Question

Can I connect a personal saving account to my QB checking account so I can use it as a funding source and to move money back & forth from one to another?

The company is my son's. Mom & I are providing startup funds and will pay him from company earnings. To do that, I need to transfer $ from QB checking account to the connected savings. Is this correct?

Thank you for posting here in the Community, @esqangel-gmail-c.

Yes, you're right. To transfer money to and from your QuickBooks Checking account, you'll need to connect your personal savings or en external bank account.

 

Here's how:
 
  1. Go to the Cashflow tab, then select QuickBooks Checking.
  2. Click "Transfer," then select to transfer money between accounts. You're not going to transfer money yet. You'll just need to start the connection.
  3. Select the "Add a bank" option.
  4. Type in your bank's name, then select your Account type.
  5. Type in your account and routing number.
  6. When it's ready to connect, click Next.

 

Two small deposits will be sent within the next three days by QuickBooks. Once received, go back and verify the transactions.
 
In verifying the transaction, go to the Cashflow tab, then select Verify bank. Enter the deposit amounts sent; the order doesn't matter. When you're finished, click Confirm.
 
If an error persists while connecting, reach out to our team so we can help.
 

Once connected, you can now transfer money in and out of your checking account.

 

Here's how to transfer money out:
 

  1. Select Transfer money and then Move money between your account.
  2. Type in the amount to move from your QuickBooks Checking account.
  3. Select your QuickBooks Checking account in the From field.
  4. Select the (+) in the To field. Then select your bank account.
  5. Once done, review it. When you're ready, click Finalize transfer.
