FAQs

Where can I find a Bank fees category?

Open Account to review your available categories. If you need a separate bank-fee account, use Manage chart.

Can I reclassify a fee already recorded?

Use the original entry’s available Edit action. Confirm the amount and category rather than creating another fee.
