If your bank recently changed your account number or updated your account details, QuickBooks may no longer recognize the account. In this situation, you can reconnect it using the Fix Now option. Steps to use Fix Now:
Before disconnecting an existing bank connection: Review the account and confirm that you are reconnecting it to the correct existing QuickBooks account. If you have concerns about your accounting data, consider creating or checking a backup first. If you ever need to recover previously saved company data, see our guide on how to restore a QuickBooks backup file.
If Fix now doesn’t work or your updated bank account isn’t showing, you may need to disconnect the affected connection and reconnect it.
If your bank account has been closed or suspended, QuickBooks may no longer be able to download transactions from it. You can check the account status with your bank before trying to reconnect it.
Using different bank login credentials when reconnecting can prevent QuickBooks from finding the accounts that were connected previously. This can happen when another person uses a different login or when the bank has more than one type of login.
QuickBooks may show banking error 324 in QuickBooks if you select different accounts when reauthorizing your bank connection. Your bank may stop sharing the accounts that were previously connected.

Once your transactions are downloading correctly, you can continue with bank reconciliation to make sure your QuickBooks records match your bank statement.
