Online Banking transaction export tips

 

You can export your Personal and Business account transactions for use in Quicken and QuickBooks. The method used to download transactions from our Online Banking platform depends on which version of QuickBooks you’re using and whether you have a Personal or Business account.

Before you begin: It's always a good idea to make a backup of your Quicken/QuickBooks data file before making any changes. We recommend you do so before following the instructions below.

Exporting your Personal Banking transactions

  1. Log into online banking and select the account with transactions to be downloaded.

  2. After choosing filters, select the date range you would like to download and click apply filters.

The method used to download transactions from Business Online Banking (BOB) depends on which version of QuickBooks you’re using: QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop.

  13. Select appropriate action(s) for listed transaction(s)

QuickBooks Online
“Express Web Connect” is the automated login process your accounting software uses to retrieve your BOB bank account transaction information. It is known by various names based on the accounting program being used.

  • “Express Web Connect” (EWC) > Quicken Windows
  • “Quicken Connect” > Quicken Mac
  • “Automatic Update” > QuickBooks Online

Express Web Connect automates the BOB login process on your behalf and retrieves account transaction information. During aggregation, Quicken or QuickBooks Online logs in to BOB on your behalf. Generally, this happens once a day.

If you’re using QuickBooks Online, Express Web Connect will update your transactions automatically. QuickBooks Desktop doesn’t support Express Web Connect.
