# Convert Truist CSV to QuickBooks (.QBO)

_Canonical: https://qbomaker.com/banks/truist.html_

Truist (the SunTrust + BB&T merger) lets you download transactions from its online banking as a CSV, with the file type defaulting to CSV when you hit Download on an account's activity. What it does not hand you is a QuickBooks Web Connect .QBO file, so the CSV is where most bookkeepers start, and stall.Truist's CSV is unusually verbose. It typically carries both a Posted Date and a Transaction Date (often identical), plus a long Full description and a separate Merchant name field. Truist also revised its CSV layout in late 2025, so older instructions may not match what you download today. QuickBooks Online wants a lean Date/Description/Amount shape, and QuickBooks Desktop can't read CSV at all, so a straight import fails or maps the wrong columns.QBO Maker reads whichever date and description fields Truist gives you, normalizes the amount sign, and outputs a clean, importable .QBO file. The whole conversion happens locally in your browser, so your Truist data is never uploaded. Convert a Truist export now.

## Steps

1. Export your transactions from Truist online banking as CSV or Excel.
2. Open the QBO Maker converter and drop the file in.
3. Confirm the auto-detected date, amount (or separate debit/credit) and description columns.
4. Choose .QBO as the output and click download.
5. In QuickBooks Online: Transactions → Bank transactions → Upload from file, then select the .QBO. In Desktop: Banking → Bank Feeds → Import Web Connect File.

**Why does my Truist CSV fail to import into QuickBooks?**
Truist packs in extra columns, two date fields plus separate description and merchant fields, that don't match QuickBooks Online's required Date/Description/Amount layout, and QuickBooks Desktop can't read CSV at all. Converting to a real .QBO file with QBO Maker removes the guesswork.

**Which Truist date column should QuickBooks use?**
Posted Date is the safest choice because it matches your statement and reconciliation. QBO Maker defaults to the posted date, and the resulting .QBO carries one clean date per transaction.

**Does Truist offer a QuickBooks .QBO or Web Connect download?**
No. Truist offers CSV downloads and PDF statements, but not a downloadable Web Connect .QBO file. Exporting CSV and converting it is the dependable manual route for both QuickBooks Online and Desktop.

**My Truist export looks different from older tutorials, is that a problem?**
No. Truist refreshed its CSV layout in late 2025, so column names and order may differ. QBO Maker reads the actual headers in your file instead of assuming a fixed format, and on Pro you can save a Truist template so future files convert the same way.
