QuickBooks Tip: Bank Rules 🧠
Stop categorising the same transactions over and over. Bank rules in QuickBooks automatically assign categories, payees and classes to repeat charges. It’s a two‑minute setup that saves hours every month.

✅ Identify the vendor or description you see regularly
✅ Create a bank rule that matches it
✅ Set the payee, category and class – once

From now on, QBO will handle those transactions for you, keeping your books consistent and error‑free.
