I am not comfortable entering my banking information. What options do I have?

QuickBooks is dedicated to providing a safe and secure platform for managing financial information, NB064.
  

It's understandable to feel concerned about the security of bank information. However, QuickBooks takes several measures to ensure your account is protected and secure. For instance, QuickBooks employs bank-level security protocols, including encryption, multi-factor authentication, and automatic data backup to secure servers. Additionally, QuickBooks utilizes advanced fraud detection technology to identify and prevent unauthorized access to your account. 

However, if you're hesitant to connect your banking data to QuickBooks for any reason, you have the option of manually entering your transactions in QuickBooks Online (QBO) by creating a Chart of Accounts. A Chart of Accounts in QBO lists all your accounts to track your business finances. This includes your bank account, credit card accounts, income, expenses, etc. 

To manually enter your transactions, you must create a chart of accounts and import these transactions. Here's how:

1. Click the Gear icon and select Chart of Accounts.
2. Tap New, select accounts, and enter all the information needed.
3. Press Save once done.

To learn more about setting up and adding accounts to your chart of accounts, refer to this article: Add an account to your chart of accounts in QuickBooks Online.

Once you have finished creating a chart of accounts, we can manually add a transaction to the account register. Here's how:

1. At the top of the list, select the Add journal entry, Add check, and Add deposit  ▼ dropdown menu.
2. Select the type of transaction you want to add.
3. Fill out the fields to complete the transaction.
4. When you're done, tap Save.

To understand how to add transactions directly to an account register. You can check out this article: Manually add transactions to account registers in QuickBooks Online.

In case in the future, you need to locate transactions in your account registers so you can review or edit them. Please check this link: Find, review, and edit transactions in account registers in QuickBooks Online.

You can use MT Online or one of the converter tools (e.g csv2qbo @ $60 one time license) as a workaround.

Am I able to import my csv formatted bank statement instead of connecting my bank account or manually entering every item. 

With entering our bank info onto our dashboard, we are the only ones that can see any of the info correct? or can anyone see it that works for Intuit quickbooks? were just unsure about having all our info out in the open like that. as long as its safe and secure and cant be seen by anyone other than us
