Question

Bank transaction access overnight causing bank to give fraud alerts

Is it possible to change the bank transactions to auto update by pull instead of push?  I get fraud alerts in the middle of the night (someone randomly trying to access my bank account)  and my bank makes me change my password a few times a week.  Just realized it was QuickBooks!!! Can I change the settings to only update when I log-in or something?

Hello there, Massey. Unfortunately, it's not possible to change the settings for automatic bank updates in QuickBooks. However, I can help clarify some points regarding this.

 

The fraud alerts you've been receiving are likely triggered by the privacy and security settings of your bank. To address this, I suggest contacting your bank to request if it's possible to adjust the privacy and security settings to enable the recognition of QuickBooks' automatic updates and prevent further alerts.

 

To gain a more comprehensive understanding of how automatic bank transaction updates function, please refer to this article: Use automatic and manual online banking updates in QuickBooks Online.

 

Additionally, ensure to reconcile your accounts regularly to keep them accurate and up-to-date.
