How do I enter or update cash in a bank or brokerage account?

Where to find it: ACCOUNTS and INVESTMENTS

Every account has a Cash investment. For a chequing or savings account, it may be the only investment. In a brokerage account, it represents the cash left after buying the other holdings.

Open ACCOUNTS and INVESTMENTS. Choose Edit Cash if that is the only holding; otherwise choose Edit Investments and then Edit beside Cash. Enter the cash value, its valuation date and the expected interest rate, then save.

Enter only the actual cash portion. For example, if your brokerage statement shows $100,000 total, including $3,000 cash and $97,000 in securities, enter $3,000 as Cash and enter the securities separately.

Cash is required and cannot be deleted or renamed.
