- Click Chase from the results list
Step 3: Enter Chase Login Credentials

- Click Submit or Continue
Step 4: Complete Two-Factor Authentication
Chase requires additional verification:
- Choose verification method: Text Message or Email

Step 5: Select Your Chase Credit Card

Step 6: Review Initial Import
- QuickBooks imports 90 days of historical transactions automatically
- You'll see: "Successfully connected [number] accounts"
- Click Go to Banking to review transactions
Step 7: Categorize Chase Transactions
- Go to Banking → For Review tab
- You'll see all imported Chase transactions marked as "New"
- For each transaction:
- Select category (Office Supplies, Gas, Meals, etc.)
- Or click Find match to link to existing bills/receipts
- Or click Split to divide charges (personal vs. business)
- Click Add or Match to complete
Pro Tip: Create categorization rules for recurring Chase charges:
- Check the "Create rule" box when categorizing
- Future matching transactions auto-categorize
- Example: "AMAZON" → Office Supplies
Automatic Daily Sync (Chase Bank Feed)
Once connected, QuickBooks automatically:
- **Downloads new transactions daily** (usually overnight)
- **Imports charges, credits, and payments**
- **Applies categorization rules** you've created
- **Detects duplicates** to prevent double-entry
Check Connection Status:
- Go to Banking → Banking
- Find your Chase credit card account
- Look for last update time ("Updated 5 hours ago", etc.)
Sync Not Working? See Troubleshooting section below.
Method 2: Manual CSV Import from Chase {#manual-csv-import}
If you prefer manual control or can't connect bank feeds, download Chase statements as CSV files and import manually.
Step 1: Download Statement from Chase.com
- Log into chase.com
- Click your credit card account
- Click Activity in the top menu
- Click Download activity (usually top-right)
Or use this alternate path:
- Click Statements & Documents
- Select Download your activity
- Choose date range
Step 2: Select Date Range & Format
Date Range:
- Last statement period (most common)
- Custom dates (enter Start Date and End Date)
- Maximum: 7 years of history available
- **File Type:** Select **CSV** (NOT PDF) - **CSV (Excel format)** - Recommended - ❌ **PDF** - Cannot import into QuickBooks directly
Click Download or Export
File downloads as: Chase1234_Activity_YYYYMMDD.csv
Step 3: Review Chase CSV File Format
Open the CSV file in Excel. Chase format looks like:
| Transaction Date | Post Date | Description | Category | Type | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10/15/2025 | 10/16/2025 | Amazon.com | Shopping | Sale | -42.99 |
| 10/17/2025 | 10/18/2025 | Shell Gas | Gas | Sale | -55.00 |
| 10/20/2025 | 10/21/2025 | Payment Thank You | Payment | Payment | 500.00 |
Key Columns for QuickBooks:
- Transaction Date - Use this as the date column
- Description - Merchant name
- Amount - Negative for charges, positive for payments/credits
Step 4: Clean Up CSV for Import
QuickBooks requires clean data. Remove:
- Header rows (Chase statement info at top)
- Summary rows (totals, balances at bottom)
- Extra columns (keep only Date, Description, Amount)
Final format should be:
| Date | Description | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| 10/15/2025 | Amazon.com | -42.99 |
| 10/17/2025 | Shell Gas | -55.00 |
| 10/20/2025 | Payment | 500.00 |
Save cleaned file as CSV.
Step 5: Import Chase CSV into QuickBooks
- Go to Banking → Banking in QuickBooks
- Click Upload from file (link in top-right)
- Click Browse and select your cleaned Chase CSV file
- Select your Chase credit card account from dropdown
- If not listed, click + Add new credit card account first
- Click Next
Step 6: Map CSV Columns
QuickBooks attempts to auto-detect columns:
- Date: Select "Transaction Date" column
- Description: Select "Description" column
- Amount: Select "Amount" column
- Ignore: Uncheck "Category", "Type", "Post Date"
Click Next when mappings are correct.
Step 7: Review & Complete Import
- QuickBooks shows preview of transactions
- Verify dates, amounts, descriptions look correct
- Check "Select all" to import all transactions
- Or manually select specific transactions to import
- Click Let's go! or Import
Success message: "X transactions have been imported"
Transactions now appear in Banking → For Review tab for categorization.

Error: "Duplicate transactions" appearing
Causes:

Solutions:
✅ Check For Review tab for existing transactions before importing

✅ QuickBooks shows duplicate warning—uncheck duplicates before importing
Bank Feed Stopped Updating (No New Transactions)

Chase Pending Transactions Not Showing
Chase bank feed behavior:

- Only **posted transactions** sync to QuickBooks
- ⏱️ Transactions usually post within 1-2 business days
Solution: Wait for transactions to post on chase.com, then they'll appear in QuickBooks within 24 hours.
Chase Business Card Won't Connect
Causes:
- Using personal Chase login instead of business login
- Business account requires separate credentials
- Business account not enrolled in online banking
Solutions:
✅ Enroll business account at chase.com/business
✅ Use business-specific username/password (different from personal)
✅ Search "Chase Business" (not just "Chase") when adding account in QuickBooks

FAQ: Chase + QuickBooks Integration {#faq}
Does Chase integrate directly with QuickBooks Online?
Yes. Chase offers direct bank feed integration with QuickBooks Online. Go to Banking → Add Account → Search "Chase" and connect using your chase.com credentials. QuickBooks will automatically download transactions daily from all connected Chase credit cards.
How do I import Chase credit card statements into QuickBooks?
Two methods:
- Direct bank feed (recommended) - Connect your Chase account via Banking → Add Account → Chase
- Manual CSV import - Download CSV from chase.com → Upload via Banking → Upload from File
See Method 1 and Method 2 above for step-by-step instructions.
Can I import Chase PDF statements into QuickBooks?
No, not directly. QuickBooks does not support PDF imports. You must either:
- **Download CSV format** from chase.com (recommended)
- **Convert PDF to CSV** using our [free converter tool](/creditcard)
- **Connect bank feed** for automatic imports (no files needed)
How far back does Chase bank feed import transactions?
90 days of transaction history on initial connection. After that, QuickBooks downloads new transactions daily. To import older transactions (Chase provides up to 7 years), use manual CSV import.
Why are my Chase transactions not showing in QuickBooks?
Common causes:
- Pending transactions - Chase only syncs posted transactions (wait 1-2 days)
- Connection expired - Re-authenticate via Banking → Edit Account → Reconnect
- Bank feed sync delay - QuickBooks updates every 24 hours (not real-time)
- Wrong date filter - Check date range in Banking tab
See Troubleshooting section for detailed fixes.
Can I connect multiple Chase credit cards to QuickBooks?
Yes. When connecting Chase, select multiple credit card accounts during setup. Each card appears as a separate account in QuickBooks. You can connect personal and business Chase cards simultaneously (use separate logins for business accounts).
Does Chase charge fees for QuickBooks integration?
No. Chase's bank feed integration with QuickBooks is 100% free. No setup fees, no monthly fees, no transaction fees. Both Chase and QuickBooks offer this service at no additional cost.
How do I categorize Chase credit card payments in QuickBooks?
Chase credit card payments (money FROM your bank TO Chase) should be categorized as:
- Category: Transfer
- Or: Credit Card Payment
- Link: Match to bank account payment transaction
This prevents double-counting the payment as an expense.
