2100 Credit Card

The default ledger account paired with a business credit card. What you have charged and not yet paid off.

In Solo Superstars

Add a card as a bank account and it pairs here (in the 21xx range). Card statement imports flip the sign so charges book as expenses and the liability grows; paying the card is a transfer from checking.

Example

A $80 software charge: debit 6330 Software Expense 80, credit 2100 80. Paying the card: debit 2100, credit 1010.

Codes shown are the defaults a new workspace starts with. Yours may be renamed or renumbered — check Accounting › Chart of accounts. See the full default chart.
