Hi I have had an email asking me to connect to my bank and asking for bank details such as password / security code ? Is this a genuine update ?

Hi neilvaughan,

We have been sending communication to customers to upgrade their bank connection in QuickBooks - this is in line with changes implemented for Open Banking guidelines in the UK which came into effect in March. Upgrading the connection requires you to sign-into QuickBooks where you will be re-directed temporarily to your online bank to enter security details to authorise the connection. You can read more about open banking on the link here. 

Let us know if you have any questions!
