Convert Chase statements to QuickBooks.
Checked against the printed balances first.
Chase offers a QuickBooks (QBO) download under Download account activity for roughly the last two years, and for a recent month that file usually imports fine.

Download the statement from Chase
- Sign in at chase.com and click the Main Menu icon (three lines) in the top left.
- Choose "Statements & documents" from that menu.
- Pick the account, then the year. Statements are listed by closing date.
- Click the Open or Save icon to the right of the statement you want and keep the PDF.
- In the Chase Mobile app the list is under "Profile & Settings", then "Statements & documents" in Document manager, then "Statements". Tap a statement to open it as a PDF and use the share sheet to save it.
Then drop the file above. Several months at once is fine; each statement comes back as its own .qbo file.
Before you upload: is the PDF password-protected?
Chase statement PDFs open without a password. Nothing to remove before you upload.
Chase and QuickBooks
Chase offers a QuickBooks (QBO) download under Download account activity for roughly the last two years, and for a recent month that file usually imports fine. For statements older than that window, or when the PDF is what a client handed over, converting the statement gives QuickBooks the same .qbo with the printed opening and closing balance checked first.
From an account page, "More" then "Download account activity" (or the download icon above the transaction list) gives you a date range and a choice of Spreadsheet (CSV), Quicken (QFX) or QuickBooks (QBO). The window is roughly the last two years of activity, which is generous compared with most banks, and for a recent month the QBO file is perfectly usable. What it lacks is the statement itself: no opening or closing balance, no section subtotals, and the descriptions are the online versions rather than what was printed. For anything older than the download window, for a period you need to prove against a closing balance, or when a client hands you the PDFs they already have, converting the statement is the shorter route.
Import into QuickBooks
- Drop the statement on the home page. Fix any flagged row (or swap debit/credit if the bank prints them reversed) until the badge is green.
- Click QuickBooks (.qbo).
- QuickBooks Online: Transactions → Bank transactions → Link account ▾ → Upload from file → choose the .qbo → pick the account → Next.
- QuickBooks Desktop: File → Utilities → Import → Web Connect Files → choose the .qbo → select the account.
- Review the imported transactions in the For Review tab and add them.
What usually goes wrong
- Credits and debits are in separate sections rather than columns, so naive converters mix up the sign. We use the printed section subtotals to confirm which is which.
- Dates show only month/day; the year comes from the statement period header.
- The "Daily Ending Balance" table is used to verify running balances even though rows themselves have no balance column.
- Reversed signs: money out imported as deposits. The most common complaint about statement converters. We show you the totals and let you swap before export.
- Duplicate transactions on re-import because the FITID changes each time. Ours is derived from the row content, so the same statement always produces the same IDs.
- "QuickBooks found an error" on upload, usually from a missing INTU.BID, unescaped ampersands or a bad date. Check any .qbo with our free QBO checker.
None of this is bank-specific configuration. The balance check catches these cases for every bank; this list just explains what you will see on a Chase file.
Already have a .qbo that QuickBooks rejects?
Run it through the free QBO checker. It reads the file in your browser (nothing is uploaded) and lists exactly what QuickBooks will object to: missing INTU.BID, duplicate FITIDs, bad dates, unescaped ampersands, sign mismatches.
Chase and QuickBooks questions
Chase only shows 7 years of statements online. What about older ones?
Seven years is the ceiling for most deposit accounts, and some account types show less. For anything beyond that you are into a records request through the branch or secure message, which can take a couple of weeks and may carry a fee. If you get paper or a scanned copy back, it still converts; just expect to check the OCR on a scan more carefully than on a native PDF.
My Chase business statement has deposits and withdrawals in separate sections. Do I get one list or two?
One list, in date order, with deposits as credits and everything from the withdrawal sections as debits. We use the printed subtotal under each section to confirm the sign rather than guessing from the layout, and the DAILY ENDING BALANCE table to check the running balance since the rows themselves do not carry one.
Does it work with QuickBooks Online and Desktop?
Yes. The .qbo is OFX 1.02 with the INTU.BID QuickBooks requires, which both accept. Desktop imports via Web Connect.
What if QuickBooks rejects the file?
Run it through the QBO checker at /tools/qbo-checker; it explains what QuickBooks objects to. If the issue is with a file we produced, email support with the conversion ID and we fix the reader.
Can I get Chase transactions into QuickBooks without the bank's own export?
Yes. Download the statement PDF from Chase, drop it on this page and wait for the balance check, which compares the rows with the balances printed on the statement. Then download the QuickBooks file and import it with the steps above. No Chase template is involved; the statement is read the way a person reads it, and the balance check is what tells you the rows are complete.
