| Bank transfers between foreign currency bank accounts |
Description | You can transfer money between a base currency account and a foreign currency account. But you can’t transfer money between two different foreign currency accounts. To transfer between two foreign currency accounts you can journal the transfer instead. CAUTION: We recommend seeking your accountants advice before processing any workaround.

Resolution | Journal the transfer - Go to Adjustments, then select Journals.
- To create a new journal, select New Journal.

It's recommended to put the exchange rate on the day of the transfer, between the foreign currency and GBP (£). | - Check the total value of credits and debits are the same, then select Save.
