Hi Martin, tanks for the references, I think i'll try with the transfer account, seems to be the most "correct" but verbose solution so far. Problem only occurs if I transfer money within the scope of my own finances Bank1:account1 -> Bank2:account2, not with the outside world so hopefully there is not so much additional work neccessary.
