Transfers Between Accounts

2 min readUpdated July 12, 2026

A transfer moves money between two of your accounts. It's neither income nor expense — your net worth doesn't change, only where the money sits — so transfers stay out of your spending totals and budgets by design.

Recording a transfer

  1. Choose the Transfer type

    Tap + and switch the type toggle to Transfer.

  2. Pick both accounts

    Choose the from account and the to account.

  3. Amount, date, save

    Both account balances update at once, and the transfer appears in both accounts' histories as the same movement.

Transfer mode swaps the category field for a second account — money moves, nothing is spent.

The two transfers that matter most

Paying a credit card bill is a transfer from your bank account to the card account. It reduces what you owe on the card; it is not an expense (the expenses were the purchases themselves). See How credit card accounts work.

A loan payment or EMI is a transfer from your bank account to the loan account. It reduces what you owe. Interest is handled separately — the app posts it onto the loan for you. See How loan accounts work.

Things transfers deliberately can't do

  • No category — transfers aren't spending, so they can't be categorized or split.
  • Same-account transfers are rejected — a transfer needs two different accounts.
