One of the features of QuickBooks is the ability to download banking transactions from your bank's website. With this feature, you can download all your banking transactions into QuickBooks. Many banks offer this feature for their small-business account holders. Chase Bank allows downloads for both Quicken and QuickBooks software. The difficulty in using any particular bank for these downloads comes with the many mergers that seem to happen almost every year. In 2009, Washington Mutual Bank was purchased by Chase Bank, and this change caused WAMU customers to have to reconfigure their online-banking settings.

If you have trouble downloading your transactions from the Online Banking Center, you can do what I do, login to your bank directly from your browser. Then follow the steps above to import the transactions into QuickBooks. After your transactions are imported you are ready to review them and add them to QuickBooks. After your first download, QuickBooks only loads transactions not previously downloaded in order to minimize the recording of duplicate transactions. Here you have the opportunity of viewing all of the downloaded transactions before adding the transactions to QuickBooks. If all appears in order, select “Add transactions to QuickBooks”.

The QuickBooks software will connect to Chase's server and begin downloading the bank data. Click on 'Finish' when the download is complete. Your Chase Bank account is now activated and ready for downloading to begin.

Choose which mode you prefer for downloading your banking transactions. The 'Side-by-Side' mode is a window that has current QuickBooks account balances on the left side of the screen and your online banking account balances on the right. Choose the 'Download Online Accounts' option, and click on 'Receive Transactions.'

The 'Register Mode' displays the registers in both QuickBooks and the Chase Bank account. As the transactions are downloaded, you can see the register in the Chase account transferring information to the QuickBooks register. Which mode you use is unimportant, and you can change modes at any time.

These transactions are imported automatically into the QuickBooks company file, so no further steps are necessary after downloading them.

Choose which method to use to enter transactions. If you are downloading the Chase bank transactions on a regular basis, do not enter any transactions manually. If you download and enter transactions manually, you will duplicate deposits and expenses and will have to delete all duplicated transactions in your QuickBooks software.
