Closing balance

What the bank says the account held at the end of a statement. The number a reconciliation must reach.

In Solo Superstars

The import verifier compares opening + activity to the closing balance; the Reconcile page asks for it as the statement ending balance.

Example

July statement closing balance 9,650: the reconciliation is done when cleared transactions net to exactly that.
