Steps to Sync Your Accounting Software

Update Your QuickBooks® or Quicken® Connection to My Account

Connection Overview

Beginning March 26, 2026, My Account will use a new, more secure connection method for customers who use QuickBooks® or Quicken® to automatically bring their account and transaction activity into their software (QuickBooks Bank Feeds and Quicken Connected Account).

This update ensures improved security, faster syncing, and better long‑term compatibility.

Depending on your product, you may be prompted to:

  • Reauthorize your connection
  • Log in using a secure FCSAmerica‑hosted login window
  • Refresh or relink your accounts
  • Follow updated steps for downloading transactions

You'll find step‑by‑step instructions for every supported QuickBooks and Quicken version below.
