Migrating your Discover Card to Capital One

🤔This may not work for everyone, however it did for me. If you don't have a Capital One account, create one online at CapitalOne.com. If you do have a current account, you'll use it. (Note: I didn't deactivate or close Discover on Quicken.) Open Quicken and click on the + at the top left above the account balances in the account bar. Search for this financial institution = Capital One Card Services. Use your Capital One sign-in. A box will pop up for you to authorize Quicken's access to your Discover account info through Capital One. Check the Discover box. You will then be returned to Quicken. Link to your existing Discover Card account on Quicken in the pop-up box. It will automatically update. Done. In the "account details" box for that account on Quicken, Discover was automatically replaced with Captital One.

As of today, Jan 26, 2026, the banking side of Discover hasn't yet moved but will not update through Quicken, however, the Discover sign-on still works to view your banking accounts and transactions online at Discover.com. ☺️

    Similar experience but 1st time I tried add account was only option. Cancelled attempt and then I had to deactivate Discover Card from online access with zzz- Discover Card and go through set up to select link to existing Discover Card account.

    Since I had a Capital One Card, I had to deactive my Discover account on Quicken as advised. The Discover Card account now says Captial One Services, but my Discover transactions that posted yesterday in Capitol One did not download. I updated account again, but transactions still did not download. I guess my next step is to manually export.

    Thanks! That seems to have worked. Wish Quicken had been proactive in telling us how to handle this.

    My system then got hung up saying Syncing Quicken and Quicken Cloud and showing an arrow that it is downloading transactions. After letting it run for several minutes, I ended the task in Windows (Ctrl-Shift-Esc), and restarted Quicken. All seems well now..

    Did the same and everything works. Deactivated my Discover card account. "Added" a new Capital One account. Capital One then asked for data sharing approval. Ok'd that. As I had a previous Capital One account, Quicken gave me the option to link it to my Discover account. Everything downloads normally since then.

    This is what worked for me
    Right clicked discover account on left hand list, clicked edit, switched to online services tab and then deactivate button.
    Then following the initial poster's steps, the link to existing option appeared.
