You may need to manually add bank transactions if your bank account doesn't yet support online banking, or if you have an account with a bank whose online banking export format isn't supported. If the latter case applies, please contact us by emailing so that we can do our best to add support for the format.

You would also enter transactions this way if you're recording petty cash or if you have uncleared cheques coming in or going out at the end of the month.

If you're unsure whether to record a particular business cost as a bank payment, an expense or a bill, take a look at this article for more information.
