How do i import my bank transactions?

Hi gisellebouffard-,

Welcome to Community!  QuickBooks Online provides the option to manually upload your transactions seamlessly.  I'd be glad to assist!

Before getting started, you'll want to make a note of the last transaction in QuickBooks Online, to prevent any duplicate entries.  Follow these steps to locate the information;

1. Open your Settings ⚙ in the top right of your dashboard, select Chart of Accounts

2. Locate the account in your list and select Account History in the Action column

3. Write down the Date of the Last Transaction

Continue by logging into your bank's website and select a date range for the transactions. Here's how;

1. Sign in to your bank or credit card's website

2. Make sure the date range for the transactions matches the date of the last transaction in QuickBooks

3. Follow your bank's instructions to download your file in CSV format

4. Download your transactions and save the file somewhere easy to locate

5. Open and review the file to make sure it's in the correct format before you upload it.

Follow these steps to upload the transactions into QuickBooks Online:

1. Login to QuickBooks Online

2. From the Banking or Transactions menu, select the Banking tab

2. Click the blue tile for the account you're uploading the transactions into

3. Select the ▼ dropdown arrow beside Link account and then Upload from file

4. Hit Browse and select the CSV file you downloaded from your bank, then click Next

5. From the Account ▼ dropdown, choose your account and hit Next

6. Follow the onscreen steps to match the columns in the file with the correct fields in QuickBooks and hit Next

7. Select the transactions to import and continue through the prompts

8. Choose Yes to continue

9. When you're ready, hit Let's go!

If you notice any duplicate entries, here's how to remove them:

1. From the For Review tab, checkmark the box beside all duplicated entries

2. Select Exclude from the tab that appears

Note: You can permanently delete the transactions from the Excluded tab by selecting all items and then hit Delete. This process is irreversible and any transactions deleted in error will need to be recreated manually.

That's it! You're ready to match and categorize your transactions. In addition, you can set up Bank Rules so QuickBooks will automatically categorize the transactions for you, saving valuable time moving forward.

Here's a helpful guide for future reference, to assist with manually uploading transactions in QuickBooks Online.

Feel free to reach back out with other questions.  We're always happy to help!

Another option, use MT Online or one of the converter tools (e.g csv2qbo) as a workaround.
