Signing into Quicken® or QuickBooks® with Direct Connect requires an extra security step. Registering your Client UID provides enhanced security for your connection to Quicken® or Quickbooks®.

1. Sign into Online Banking or the RCB Bank Mobile Banking App.
2. Click on Settings in the main menu.
3. Click on Direct Connect Registration

If there is already a Client UID listed, the security link is already in place and you can proceed to Quicken® or QuickBooks®.

If there is no Client UID listed:

  • Click Generate.
  • You will see a message saying “A new Client UID registration window was generated.”
  • Within 15 minutes, sign into Quicken® and refresh the connection with RCB Bank. (If you are unsure how to do this, please contact Quicken® or QuickBooks®)
  • At this point, the security connection has been made. You can come back to this page to see your Client UID.
