Sorry about the confusion! What I meant was that it is a British "current account" in GBP, and I was trying to explain that that is the British equivalent of a "checking account". On 2019-07-10, David Carlson wrote: > I believe you mentioned in your original note that it was an American >

I believe you mentioned in your original note that it was an American checking account. If it is denominated in dollars you may have an additional variable in how you handle exchange rate. Also, I sometimes mistakenly assign a purchase to the wrong account, so there might be a similar error in
