Allow me to assist you in adding rules to QuickBooks, @juniorblackgrove.

 

How bank transactions are downloaded into QuickBooks depends on the data provided by your financial institution. If they display SIG instead of actual bank details, you can create a new rule based on other conditions such as bank text or amount.

 

Here's how:

 

1. Go to the Gear icon and choose Rules.

2. Select New rule, then enter a name in the What do you want to call this rule? field.

3. From the Apply this to transactions that are drop-down list, choose Money in or Money out and specify the bank accounts for rule application.

4. Define the rule conditions and assign a Transaction typeCategoryTags, and Payee accordingly.

5. Click Save.

 

For detailed instructions, refer to this resource: How to use bank rules to categorize transactions from your bank automatically.

 

After categorizing your transactions, you can now reconcile your accounts. Doing this will ensure that they match your real-life bank and credit card statements.
