What format does QuickBooks use for bank import?
QuickBooks accepts QBO (QuickBooks Web Connect) format for both Online and Desktop versions. Bank Statement Converter exports QBO format directly. For QuickBooks Online CSV import, select CSV output instead.
How do I import into QuickBooks Desktop vs. Online?
QuickBooks Online: Banking → Upload from file → Browse for QBO. QuickBooks Desktop: File → Utilities → Import → Web Connect Files → select QBO file → choose account.
Why are some transactions not matching in QuickBooks?
QuickBooks compares imported transactions against existing register entries using date and amount. If dates or amounts differ slightly from a manually entered transaction, QuickBooks flags it as a potential match rather than an exact match — review and confirm manually.
Is my HSBC data safe to upload?
Yes. Bank Statement Converter processes files in-memory and deletes them immediately after conversion. No data is stored, logged, or used for model training. No account is required.
