Whether you are switching banks or simply need to reorganize your financial information, the process is straightforward. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the simple and secure steps to unlink your bank account from QuickBooks, ensuring a smooth transition without compromising your financial data.

Step 1: Access QuickBooks Dashboard

Navigate to the QuickBooks dashboard and log in to your account using your credentials. Once logged in, locate the "Banking" tab on the main menu.

Step 2: Select the Bank Account to Unlink

Within the "Banking" tab, find and click on the specific bank account that you wish to unlink from QuickBooks. This will open the account details page.

Step 3: Locate and Click on "Edit"

On the account details page, look for the "Edit" option. Clicking on this option will allow you to make changes to the bank account settings.

Step 4: Unlink the Bank Account

Once in the editing mode, navigate to the section that manages the connected bank account. Locate the option to "Disconnect" or "Unlink" the bank account. Click on this option to initiate the unlinking process.

Step 5: Confirm the Action

QuickBooks will prompt you to confirm your decision to unlink the bank account. Before proceeding, double-check to ensure that you have selected the correct account. Confirm the action, and QuickBooks will sever the connection between your account and the bank.

Step 6: Review and Update Transactions (Optional)

After unlinking the bank account, it's advisable to review your transactions. You may need to reclassify or update some entries manually, especially if they were linked to the now unlinked bank account. This step ensures the accuracy and completeness of your financial records.
