Check your accounts and first transactions

After connecting a bank, importing history, or adding records manually, check that the records match your accounts and transactions.
Open Accounts to review your accounts and balances. Then open Transactions. To check one account, select it in Account and choose the period in Date range.
Account and Date range filters in the Web Transactions list.

Choose an account and date range to check.

Compare these details with your bank statement or your own records:
  • Accounts and currencies: check that the expected accounts are present and each balance uses the correct currency.
  • Balances: compare amounts in the same currency and on the same date.
  • First transactions: check the account, date, amount, currency, and category of a few records.
  • History coverage: check for missing or repeated transactions in the selected period, especially if you combined several ways of bringing in data.
Before adding a transaction manually, check whether it is already listed. If a balance differs, see Verified balance.
