Check image auto-import feature in QuickBooks Online

In a nutshell: This feature imports check images along with bank feeds from supported U.S. banks, so you and your clients can review images without leaving the bank transaction screen.

Current check transactions in bank feed carry very few details about the transaction. And while you wait for clients to respond with context, the transaction may remain uncategorized. With check image auto-import, you can understand at a glance what the check is for and match it to relevant sales receipts or invoices.

Coming soon: Multi-factor authentication for QuickBooks Desktop Payroll

In a nutshell: Adding multi-factor authentication to QuickBooks Desktop Payroll eliminates the need for you to remember, share and enter your payroll service PIN during payroll, making it safer and easier for you to pay your team.

Over the next few months, we’ll transition from the payroll service PIN currently in use for desktop users to a multi-factor login, where a unique verification code will be sent to the mobile phone number associated with the Intuit account each time.

With multi-factor authentication, you’ll be able to:

• Get enhanced data security and protection for your payroll data.
• Manage who does payroll for you and what they can access.
• Enjoy a streamlined experience running payroll after you’re logged in.

Make sure you’re ready

• Check if your Intuit Account is linked to the company file with the correct role.
• Update or verify the phone number associated with your Intuit Account.
• For Primary Admins only: Sign up for or sign in to your Intuit Account, invite additional payroll users to your account, and assign them the appropriate roles and status.
