Reconcile a Bank Account

Reconciling a Bank Account

1. Go to Accounting → Bank Transactions.
2. Click Import Statement and upload a CSV export of your bank statement — the file needs Date, Description and Amount columns (Type and Reference are optional; type is inferred from the amount sign if omitted). Pick the bank account you're importing into first.
3. For each unmatched transaction, click Match. The matcher suggests candidate invoices (for money in) or bills (for money out) ranked by confidence, based on amount, due date and reference. Select one or more candidates — selecting several splits a single payment across multiple invoices/bills — then click Accept match to mark them paid and reconcile the transaction in one step.
4. Transactions with no matching document — bank fees, transfers, anything that isn't tied to an invoice or bill — can be reconciled directly with Mark reconciled, no match required.
5. Made a mistake? Click Unmatch on a matched or reconciled transaction to undo the link and re-match it.
6. Use the All / Unreconciled / Reconciled filter at the top of the page to track progress through a statement.
