With online accounts, you download your transactions directly from the financial institution. If you do prefer to enter your transactions manually, see Add an offline spending account below.
Start typing the name of your financial institution, such as your bank or credit card provider. Quicken will filter the results based on what you type. When you see your financial institution in the panel below, select it and click Next.
For online accounts, Quicken finds accounts based on the financial institution. This way, if you have multiple accounts at the same bank, you can add them all at once. You will have a chance to select the type of account later.
Enter your account information. You will be prompted to enter the Customer Number or Saved ID and Access Code (password) for your account.
Click Connect when you have entered your information.
Your account information is the same information you use to access your account through your financial institution’s website. Depending on your financial institution’s requirements, you may be asked for additional information such as a confirmation code.
Offline accounts (sometimes called manual accounts) don't connect to a financial institution. It is your responsibility to enter all the information and track your transactions accurately. In most cases, it is preferable to use an online account, but you may choose this for security, control, or because the account is not with an online institution.
