Recently BECU (Boeing Employees’ Credit Union) created a new website specifically for business. The regular website (https://onlinebanking.becu.org) is now only for personal accounts. Many people are having issues connecting QuickBooks to the new business account URL  (https://business.becu.org/).

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to reconnect BECU for business to QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop.
