  • You cannot change the account type, for example, from Current to Credit Card
  • You cannot change the category assigned to the bank account. A category is assigned automatically each time you create a new bank account
  • If you enter an opening balance, a new opening balance transaction is created and appears in your bank activity and categories
  • You cannot delete a bank account after you have entered transactions. If you no longer use the bank account, set it to inactive to prevent new transactions being entered for it Inactive accounts still show in reports and completed transactions. Read more about inactive bank accounts
