Why Are Bank Transactions Missing in QuickBooks?
There are a few common reasons why your bank transactions might not be showing up in QuickBooks:
-
Date Range Issues
Your bank may only allow QuickBooks to download transactions from a certain date range (usually the last 90 days). Anything before that won't automatically import. -
Bank Feed Connection Problems
If your bank feed isn't syncing properly due to a connection error or timeout, it may miss some transactions during the update. -
Duplicate Detection
QuickBooks sometimes automatically excludes transactions it believes are duplicates—even if they’re not. -
Manual Import Conflicts
If you’ve previously uploaded transactions manually, QuickBooks may skip new ones thinking they've already been added. -
Multiple Bank Accounts Linked
You might be looking at the wrong account or bank feed in QuickBooks—especially if you have more than one linked.
