If you have more than one online bank account at the bank, you must create additional bank accounts in Business Central for them. See steps 8 through 10.

Choose the OK button.

If you are linking more than one online bank accounts, the Bank Account Linking page opens and lists the online bank accounts that are not yet linked to bank accounts in Business Central . In that case, follow the next step.
On the Bank Account Linking page, select the line for an online bank account, and then choose the Link to New Bank Account action.
