Inflow / outflow sign
Bank money in is positive and money out is negative. Card statements are flipped on import so charges read as outflows.
In Solo Superstars
You never need to flip anything. The importer normalizes each bank’s column layout to one convention so rules and matching work the same everywhere.
Example
A −14.50 café charge on checking and a +14.50 charge line on a card statement both become a 14.50 outflow.

- Bank transaction — One line from your bank: a deposit, a charge, a fee, a transfer. Imported from a statement, entered by hand, or synced.
- Card import — Uploading a credit card statement so each charge becomes an already-paid expense on the card’s liability account.
- Debit and credit — The two sides of every entry. Debits increase assets and expenses; credits increase liabilities, equity, and revenue. Neither means good or bad.
