I had a similar situation this past summer. Although my account was closed and I was given a new card, I actually did not create a new account in MoneyWell.
I continued to enter all transactions from my bank statement (you can use either the paper copy, or electronic, or even downloaded transactions) with the exception of the balance transfer amount. If you are downloading transactions, you can just update the account information to ensure that the information is being downloaded from the correct credit card, and then delete the balance transfer. This may be a simpler method. If you do want to start a new account in your MoneyWell document, then do this instead: 1. In your new credit card, assign the starting balance as 0. 2. In your old credit card, create a transaction for the amount of the balance transfer and assign it as a transfer in MoneyWell from your old account to your new account. Your old credit card balance should now be zero, and your new credit card balance should be the amount of the balance transfer.
