How do I change my Clearing or Bank account for EFT/ACH payments?

To change the Clearing or Bank account you have set for credit card, EFT or ACH payments follow the steps below:

Note: We recommend using a Clearing account or Undeposited Funds and here is why:

Here's a simple example to explain why we recommend using undeposited funds or a clearing account:

1. Example Scenario:

   - You have 5 transactions today totaling $500.

   - In a few days, your bank will show a single $500 deposit.

2. Without Using Undeposited Funds or Clearing Account:

   - Each of the 5 transactions gets recorded directly in your checking account in QuickBooks.

   - This means you have 5 separate entries to match to the single $500 deposit, which can be confusing.

3. With Using Undeposited Funds or Clearing Account:

   - Undeposited Funds:

     - Record the $500 deposit in QuickBooks.

     - QuickBooks will help you match the 5 transactions to this deposit.

   - Clearing Account:

     - Record the $500 deposit by debiting your bank account and crediting a clearing account.

     - Check the clearing account against your Payment Gateway statements to make sure everything matches.

Using these methods keeps your QuickBooks neat and makes it easier to see that everything matches up correctly.
