No, you don't have to sync it.

Let me help you by sharing information about connecting bank accounts in QuickBooks Online, @iowahacker.
 
Syncing your bank account can save time. However, if you prefer more control over your data or have concerns about security, manually entering transactions might be preferable.
 
Consider your specific needs, preferences, and the volume of transactions you have. If you are comfortable with manual entry and have only a few transactions, syncing may not be necessary. However, if you value automation and efficiency, syncing your bank account could be beneficial.
 
To connect your bank account, you can search for your bank within QBO to see if it's supported. Here's the process:
 
  1. Head to Transactions, then Bank transactions.
  2. Select Link Account, then enter the URL or bank name in the Search field.
  3. Add your sign-in details in the Login and Password fields, then Continue.
  4. Choose the account you want to connect and the date to pull the transaction from the dropdown.
  5. In the Account type drop-down, select your account type and Next.
  6. Map the bank account in the Existing accounts drop-down, then select Next.
  7. Choose Connect, then hit Done.
