Martin, yes, i understand on single file. I meant categories.
In sample beancount ledger it has following line for banking category:
* Banking
So i wonder if each Banking account should be separate in it's own
category, like this:
* Banking Chase
...
...
...
* Banking BofA
...
...
...
etc

It depends and is a personal choice.
I only split based on the income type, e.g.
Income:Employment:Salary

It's up to you how you organize things.
In your case:
> * Banking Chase
> * Banking BofA
You could use something like:
Assets:Checking:Chase
I use subsections. My file looks something like this:
# Options
# Commodities
# Equity Accounts
# Assets
# Canada Banking
## Institution1
### Account1
### Account2
## Institution2
### Account3
# US Banking
...
# Investing
...
# Liabilities
## Account4
## Account5
# Expenses
# Employment
# Income

Maybe I misunderstand the problem, but with option (A) even if I don't
know what timezone they use, I should get a consistent result if I ask
the API for an exchange rate for a
