  2. Click Link Account. Enter the URL or name of your credit card in the Search field, then select it.
  3. Enter your Sign info in the Login and Password fields, then select Continue.
  4. Select the account you want to connect to and the date to pull transactions from the dropdown ▼. Then, select Next.
  5. Select your account type on the Account type dropdown, then select Next.
  6. Choose the account type that matches your chart of accounts in QuickBooks. If you don’t see the correct account type, select +Add new.
  7. In the Account Type dropdown, select Credit Card. Give the account a name and click Save and Close.
  8. Map the credit card account in the Existing Accounts dropdown, then tap Next.
