It's great to have you here, @ddm1118.

 

Just to clarify, is the new credit card number a new account or a sub-account to your existing connected account? Just a heads-up, QuickBooks relies on how your bank shares your posted transactions with us.


If the new credit card is a new account, you can connect it directly to QuickBooks. Here's how

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Choose Chart of Accounts.
  3. Select New.
  4. In the Account Type drop-down, select the account type.
  5. In the Detail Type drop-down, select the type of account you want to create.
  6. If more than one choice appears in the Detail Type field, select the type of account you want to create.
  7. In the Name field, enter a name for the account.
  8. Click Save and Close.

However, if the new credit card is a sub-account to your existing connected bank account and the transactions are downloaded to one account, just connect the parent account. However, if the transactions were downloaded to the individual accounts, connect the sub-accounts.

 

Here's how to add a sub-account:

  1. Follow the procedure in the previous section to create a parent account.
  2. Ensure to mark the Is sub-account checkbox.
  3. Select the Enter parent account drop-down arrow.
  4. Choose the parent account.

You can read through this article for more detailed instructions: About bank or credit card sub-account setup.

    This is a new CC # replacing the old, which was canceled.

    I don't think it's a "sub" account or a new account.

    I need help.

    The credit card was canceled & a new # issued.

    This thread is pretty old, but its worth a shot.

    I followed the above instruction after replacing our card (was lost; new card had new number).

    But now theres a Balance tranfer in my review list for the previous balance. Is this a transaction that should be "excluded" as I can't transfer in and out of the same account?

    Thanks for joining this conversation, @kathryno.

     

    Since this is just a balance from your previous card, then yes! You can just select the Excluded option in the For Review list. Doing this will avoid any duplicates in your account.

     

    Here's how:

     

    1. In QuickBooks Online (QBO), go to the Banking menu at the left pane to get to the Banking page.
    2. Proceed to the For Review tab.
    3. Select the checkbox of the transaction(s) to exclude.
    4. Hit Exclude.

     

    If you're using QBO for Andriod or IOS, you may check out this article for the detailed steps on how to do it: Exclude a bank transaction you downloaded into QuickBooks Online.

     

    After that, you can then reconcile your account to make sure your bank and credit card statements are matched. Refer to this article for further guidance: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online.

    Hello there, @moises-pontes.

     

    I'll share the steps for updating a credit card account number in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). 

     

    The process is the same with QuickBooks Online, you'll need to disconnect the connected credit card account and reconnect it to update its number. However, please know that QuickBooks won't let you disconnect an account if it has transactions left for review. You'll have to categorize them first before doing so. 

     

    Here's how to disconnect a credit card account in QBDT:

     

    1. Go to the Lists menu, then select Chart of Accounts.
    2. Find the connected credit card account, then right-click on it.
    3. Select Edit account, then click the Bank Feed Settings tab.
    4. Choose Deactivate All Online Services. 
    5. Click Save & Close. 

     

    Once done, you'll have to reconnect the account with the updated credit card number. To do so, you can follow the steps below:

     

    1. Go to the Banking menu, then select Bank Feeds.
    2. Choose Set Up Bank Feeds for an Account.
    3. Follow the on-screen prompts to connect the credit card account again.

     

    You may also want to reconcile your new credit card account in QuickBooks Desktop. Here's an article you can read for more guidance: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Desktop. This will help make sure your QuickBooks transactions match your credit card statement.
