Is there a reason not to do the Auto connection of bank account to bank?  All our transactions are booked in QB beforehand so I am hopeful the matching exercise is easy?  Please comment.

Hello there, WRMMM.

 

Let's get your transactions downloaded and categorized. 

 

When you connect an account, QuickBooks automatically downloads and categorizes bank and credit card transactions for you. Match means QuickBooks matched the downloaded transaction with the one you already entered. This links them together so you don't get duplicates. You'll notice in your bank feeds that a match is found. You'll just have to review the matched transaction and then add it.

 

If you want, you can create rules so specific transactions are automatically accepted into your books from the Banking page. It recognizes the transaction descriptions you set. 

 

Let me know if you have more questions about connecting a bank account in QuickBooks Online. Take care!
