QuickBooks is rebuilding the bank feed to defer to what you've already done.
Intuit Intelligence is systematically reworking the QuickBooks bank feed around learned behavior rather than one-shot suggestions. The recent run covers matching (partial amounts, ambiguous transfers, confidence badges, missing-match warnings), prediction (Class, Location, money-in payees), and reconciliation repair (a rebuilt discrepancy report, Undo Reconciliation for Primary Admins). Each change targets a specific spot where the old feed forced a manual workaround or invited a duplicate.
Lemonway's feed is mostly bank-holiday ops with one real onboarding tweak buried in it.
Lemonway's recent changelog is dominated by recurring operational notices: SEPA and international-transfer cutoffs around French bank holidays, a sandbox server migration tied to PCI/DSS infrastructure work, and support-availability windows. The substantive product change in the window is the removal of an OTP step from the Online Onboarding identity-verification flow (QES by Onfido).

Each change targets a specific spot where the old feed forced a manual workaround or invited a duplicate.
The direction is toward a feed that models the user's own coding history and knows when to withhold a recommendation. Two design commitments recur: blank beats wrong, and the product should explain the evidence behind a suggestion instead of asserting it. Alongside that, capabilities once reserved for accountants are moving to admins with explicit consequence acknowledgments.
Expect the confidence scoring and history checks now applied to matching to spread to the remaining bank-feed fields, and expect more accountant-gated actions to open to Primary Admins behind the same acknowledgment pattern.

As a regulated French PSP, Lemonway's customer-visible work mostly orbits around banking calendar rhythms and compliance plumbing. Product evolution shows up sparingly — the OTP removal in February and Faster Pay by Bank in January are the only two real feature notes in the past four months — pointing at a roadmap focused on conversion friction in onboarding and SEPA-Instant settlement speed.
Expect the operational-notice cadence to continue around upcoming French bank holidays. Real product motion is likely to stay on the onboarding and pay-by-bank surfaces, since those are where the team has invested visibly in the past quarter; anything else would be a departure from the established pattern.
