QUICKBOOKS DESKTOP HAS NOW GONE END-OF-LIFE!

Inside QuickBooks’ New AI-Powered Banking Page: Faster, Smarter, Simpler Accounting

Accounting just got a whole lot smarter. QuickBooks Online has introduced a new AI-powered banking page that completely reimagines how you review, match, and categorise your bank transactions. Whether you’re managing multiple client accounts or handling your own business books, this update brings speed, accuracy, and automation together in one place.

Let’s take a look at what’s new — and how these AI-powered features can save you hours of manual work each week.

A New Look, Built for Efficiency

The redesigned bank transactions page isn’t just a facelift — it’s been built around the way accountants and business owners actually work.
The new layout lets you:

  • Resize and customise your transaction list to focus on the details that matter most

  • Match and categorise with just a click using the new on-screen switch

  • Edit directly in-line, without opening new windows

  • Split transactions or review categorisation history instantly

Everything you need to process transactions efficiently is now accessible from one clean, intuitive dashboard.

Smarter Matching

QuickBooks has always matched transactions pulled from your bank with those in your records, but now, AI makes it faster and more flexible.

Older systems required exact matches for dates and amounts. The new AI engine recognises partial and combined matches, catching connections that previously would’ve been missed. The result? Fewer duplicates, less manual searching, and cleaner books.

Intelligent Categorisation

When there’s no direct match, QuickBooks uses AI to suggest categories based on your past work and the details in each transaction.
For example, if a bank description mentions a familiar supplier or customer, QuickBooks can suggest the same category you’ve used for them before.

If there’s not enough data for an exact suggestion, you’ll still see categories to consider, along with a short explanation of why they were chosen.

Smarter Supplier and Customer Suggestions

AI also helps with identifying who your transactions are from or for.

If QuickBooks recognises a supplier or customer you already track, their name appears automatically next to the Suggested by AI icon. If not, QuickBooks may still generate a likely description and even provide a link to their website helping you verify details and maintain clean data.

This feature is particularly useful when working with unfamiliar merchants or new clients where transaction details are limited.

 

Faster Editing, Fewer Clicks

The new AI-powered banking page is designed to help you work directly in your transaction list.
You can now:

  • Add attachments like receipts or invoices instantly

  • Adjust amounts or categories in-line

  • View transfer and card payment badges (labelled “Pair”) at a glance

No more jumping between tabs or expanding rows — everything happens in one streamlined workflow.

Pro Tips for Getting the Best AI Results

QuickBooks learns from your habits and a few simple steps can help you get even better results:
✅ Always fill out the From/To column for every transaction
✅ Regularly review and confirm AI suggestions
✅ Keep your category list organised and consistent
✅ Use descriptive supplier names where possible

The more data you give QuickBooks to work with, the more accurate and personalised your AI suggestions will become.

The Future of Accounting Is Smarter

Artificial Intelligence isn’t replacing accountants — it’s empowering them.

The new AI-powered banking page is designed to take care of the heavy lifting so you can focus on what really matters: interpreting the data, advising clients, and driving better financial decisions.

With this update, QuickBooks continues to push forward the evolution of cloud accounting — making bookkeeping faster, smarter, and simpler for everyone.
