You can prevent yourself or others from creating transactions for a bank account by making it inactive. This is useful for when you have bank accounts you no longer use.

Once set to inactive, we hide the bank account when you create transactions. Although it will still appear in reports.

• All accounts
• Active accounts
• Inactive accounts

A bank account can't be set to inactive if:
