    Info
    titleMore information about a financial institution

    To see more information about a financial institution, such as website, download methods, and existing accounts, hover over the button for the financial institution.

    Info
    titleOffline Account

    You may choose to add an offline account. The option appears at the bottom of the Add Account screen. An offline account does not communicate with your financial institution. You will be responsible for entering your transactions. This is the best option if your account is not available online through Quicken, or if you prefer to maintain your account manually.


    • Some financial institutions offer multiple options to choose from. Use the name and the information on the right panel of the search results to find the correct institution.
    • Sometimes there will be an option that includes the word "Quicken" in the name. (For example: "Bank of America - Quicken"). This is often the best choice.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your account. Some financial institutions, such as Chase, may have special instructions.
    • Quicken supports downloads with over 13,000 financial institutions. If you can't find your bank on the list, try these two steps:
      1. Click My bank is not in the list in the Add Account window, and then click the Refresh button on the "My bank is not in the list" message. Quicken will update its list of supported financial institutions. Next, click Check list again, and try once more to find your bank in the list of supported institutions.
      2. If your bank still does not appear in the list, you can still create an account in Quicken, but you won't be able to download transactions into it. Instead, you will need to enter your transactions manually. To set up a manual account, click My bank is not in the list in the Add Account window, and then click Add Manual Account.
  4. After you enter your information, Quicken will contact your bank and return a list of all your accounts at that institution which are available for download. Review this list, verify the account types, set account nicknames (optional), and make sure the Action menu next to each account name says Add.

    Info
    titleAbout entering passwords
    One of the common issues customers run into is that the bank does not recognize the account password. Quicken offers a checkbox that lets you see the password as you type it, so you can be sure of what you entered. Make sure you are not being observed if you use this option.
