I am here to provide some insights into why your credit card subaccount isn't showing in your Bank Transactions tab in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
When you create a credit card subaccount to your parent account and for this subaccount to show in the Bank Transactions tab, you'll need to connect it to online banking.
It is also important to note that, you can't connect both the parent account and subaccount to one bank. If you try to connect both, you'll get a message that the account is already connected.
If you already connected your subaccount to online banking but it's still not showing, I suggest logging in to your QuickBooks Online account using a private browser. To do so, press this shortcut key on your keyboard:
Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
Safari: Command + Option + P
If this doesn't work, you need to clear the browser's cache so the system can start fresh. If you get the same result while using a private browser, I suggest switching to a different supported browser.
The new credit card is still not showing up in Bank transactions after trying everything you mentioned. The other subaccounts are, so switching to a different browser is not the solution. I have confirmed with the bank that the new account is being shared with Quickbooks
Thanks for the prompt response, @Marquette. I appreciate the additional details you've shared. I understand the importance of successfully connecting your credit card account to QuickBooks Online (QBO). I'm here to provide additional details.
To begin, ensure that your credit card is connected to online banking. You can easily check this by going to your Chart of Accounts. Here's how:
Go to the Gear icon, and choose Chart of accounts.
Navigate to your credit card account.
In the ACCOUNT TYPE and DETAIL TYPE columns, there should be an arrow.
Furthermore, to properly connect your subaccount, you need to know how your bank sends the downloaded transactions. If the transactions download to one account, connect only the parent account. If the transactions download to the individual accounts, connect the subaccounts and not the parent account.
Please note that you can’t connect both a parent account and its subaccounts. If you try to connect both, you’ll get a message that the account is already connected.
Moreover, can you please tell us the name of the credit card you are trying to set up?
After successfully connecting your credit card to QBO, make sure to reconcile it to keep your books accurate and up to date.
