Direct Connect FAQs
What are the differences between Direct Connect and Online Banking?
Direct Connect links your Quicken® and QuickBooks® financial management software directly with your Amegy Bank accounts, allowing you to download transactions, pay bills, or transfer funds directly. Online Banking uses a web browser, such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome to create a secure connection between your computer and the Amegy Bank Online Banking site. Online Banking gives you access to your banking balances and transactions, as well as the ability to pay bills, make transfers and apply for loans online, etc.
What versions of Direct Connect software can I use with Amegy Bank?
All supported versions of QuickBooks® can use Direct Connect. QuickBooks® support for importing transactions typically only goes back 3 years.
What is the Amegy Bank routing number and Customer ID that my software requires?
The routing number is: 113011258.
Your Customer ID was provided to you at the time of enrollment. If you have forgotten or misplaced this info, please call us at at 888-500-2960, Mon - Sat, 7:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. CT.
When is the information in Direct Connect updated?
The information in Direct Connect is updated every morning with activity from the previous day. Transactions can be downloaded Tuesday–Saturday. Direct Connect will only download items posted to accounts and won't show any pending items.
What is the difference between Web Connect and Direct Connect?
Web Connect allows users to sign in to Amegy Bank Bank Online Banking and select the Download option to export data from Online Banking to Personal Financial Management (PFM ex. Quicken®, QuickBooks®) Software. You'll be able to select a time range to download activity. You can download up to 18 months of activity. Using this method, you can view loan and credit card activity. However, this option doesn’t allow you to pay bills via PFM.
With Direct Connect, the PFM automatically imports transactions. Using this method, you won’t be able to select a date range or view loan activity. However, you can pay bills and make transfers to loans through your software instead of using Amegy Bank bill pay and transfers.
How do I add additional accounts to my Direct Connect?
The first step is to create a new account within your software by entering the correct account number. Some checking and money market accounts use 9-digit account numbers and all savings accounts use 10 digits. After completing the required fields, contact Online Banking Support at 888-500-2960 to request the linkage of the additional account and access will be provided within 24 hours.
