# Generate source account credentials

`POST /companies/{companyId}/connections/{connectionId}/connectionInfo/bankFeedAccounts/credentials`

The _Generate bank account credentials_ endpoint can be used to generate credentials for QuickBooks Online to authenticate the Bank Feed in the QBO portal. Each time this endpoint is called, a new set of credentials will be generated.

The old credentials will still be valid until the revoke credentials endpoint is used, which will revoke all credentials associated to the data connection.

> **For QuickBooks Online only**
>
> Only call this endpoint when onboarding SMBs that use  QuickBooks Online.
