Transfer

Money moved between two of your own accounts. Not income, not expense; both sides are matched so it is booked once.

In Solo Superstars

Mark a line as a transfer and pick the other account; when the other side is imported it is matched to the same entry. Paying your credit card from checking is the most common case.

Example

Pay $800 to the card: debit 2100 Credit Card 800, credit 1010 Checking 800. Both statements show it; the books show it once.

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.
