# How to Connect Multiple Cards for One Bank Account

**Employee or “Child” Credit Cards**
If your business uses multiple employee or “child” credit cards under a single main account, you may notice that only the primary or “parent” card is syncing into COUNT. This happens because many banks treat the parent account as the primary data feed and do not automatically share data from individual employee cards.
To capture transactions from all cards, each card must be explicitly authorized and shared with COUNT.

### Why Child Cards Do Not Sync

Employee or child cards commonly fail to sync for one of these reasons:
* Only the parent card is authorized for third-party data sharing
* Individual cards were not selected during the connection process
* Data sharing is turned off for specific card numbers in the bank portal
* Transactions are still pending and not yet posted

### How to Sync All Employee (Child) Cards
Follow these steps to ensure every card is connected and syncing properly.

###### 1) Select All Cards During Connection
See Article: [__*Connecting Your Bank Account to COUNT*__](https://support.getcount.com/en/article/connecting-your-bank-account-to-count-olzlgh/)

When connecting or reconnecting your credit card account in COUNT:
* Look carefully for a list of individual card numbers
* Even if they appear grouped under one parent account, check every card
* Authorize all listed cards before completing the connection

###### 2) Turn On Third-Party Access in Your Bank
Log into your business online banking portal:
1. Go to **Security**, **Privacy**, or **App Access** settings
2. Find the section for **third-party apps** or **data sharing**
3. Locate COUNT (or the connected app)
4. Make sure each individual card number is enabled for sharing
Many banks only share the parent card by default.

###### 3) Relink the Connection in COUNT
Instead of deleting the account:
* Open COUNT
* Go to **Settings** and scroll down to **Banking & Payments**
* Click **Bank Feeds**

* Click **Refresh Connection**.

This forces your bank to present a fresh list of available cards.
Select all individual cards during this step.

###### 4) Add Cards Individually if Needed
If some cards still do not appear:
* Use **Add Account** in COUNT
* Some card setups require linking cards one-by-one
* If a card has its own online banking login, connect it separately

###### 5) Verify Transactions Are Fully Posted
Many banks do not share pending transactions.
* Child card transactions may not sync until fully posted
* Check your bank portal to confirm posting status
* Allow 24 to 72 hours for newly posted charges to appear

### If Cards Are Still Missing
Try these steps in order:
1. Confirm third-party access is enabled for each card in your bank portal
2. Use **Relink** or **Update Connection** in COUNT
3. Add missing cards individually
4. Delete and re-add the bank connection as a last resort

### Important Notes on Transaction History
Many business credit cards only provide:
* The current billing cycle
* A limited number of prior statement cycles
Older history may not be available through the bank connection.

* The date you last reconnected the bank account
* A screenshot of your bank’s third-party access or app-sharing settings

We’ll help verify the connection and get your cards syncing correctly.
