The **Accounts** page (`/accounts`) is where you manage all your accounts in one place. This guide shows you how to add an automatic bank account, create a manual account, reconcile a balance, save a note on an account, and remove your data. ## Account types Connects to your bank through open banking. Transactions and balances sync on their own. Created by hand, with no bank connection. Ideal for cash, foreign accounts, or unsupported banks. ## Add an automatic bank account Automatic sync uses open banking: you authorize read-only access in your own bank's portal, and guito then imports your transactions and balances. Go to **Accounts** in the sidebar. In the accounts section, click **Add**. Select your bank from the list. Complete authentication in your bank's portal with your banking credentials. Authorize read-only access to your account data. For the details of how sync, authorization, and connection renewal work, see the [bank sync](/en/features/bank-sync) page. ### Reconnect an expired account When a connection expires, a notice appears at the top of the **Accounts** page. Reconnecting happens in **Connections**. Click **Manage** on the notice, or go to **Connections** in the sidebar (the **Tools** section). The expired connection appears in red. Click **Reconnect** and complete the flow to restore syncing. ## Add a manual account Manual accounts don't connect to any bank. They're useful for physical cash, accounts at banks not supported by open banking, or foreign accounts. Go to **Accounts** in the sidebar. Click **Add**. In the dialog, select **Add manually**. * **Account name**: for example, "Cash at home" or "Safe". * **Account type** (optional): Checking, Savings, Investment, Cash, or Credit card (see the section below). * **Icon** (optional): pick an icon and color to tell the account apart when it has no bank logo. * **Bank**: select from the list or choose "Other bank". * **Currency**: the account's currency. * **Initial balance** (optional): the current balance. Confirm to create the account. Manual accounts don't sync automatically. The balance has to be updated manually, through a balance reconciliation. The account type (checking, savings, investment, cash, credit card) lets you view the list grouped by type: on the Accounts page, choose the **By type** view. You can also assign a custom icon and color to each account to tell apart several manual accounts that have no logo. ## Add a credit card A credit card is a manual account with its own type. The balance represents what you owe, so it counts as a **liability** (debt), not as available cash. Go to **Accounts** in the sidebar, click **Add**, then **Add manually**. Under **Account type**, select **Credit card**. In the **Amount owed** field, enter how much you currently owe, as a positive number. guito stores it as debt. Confirm to create the card. Once created, the card works like any account: you can record its movements and the spending shows up in cash flow. When you pay the bill from a checking account, record that payment as a transfer between the two accounts. In your **Net worth**, the card's balance appears in the **Credits** line, not in **Cash**, lowering your total. Because it's a debt, the card is left out of [goals](/en/features/goals) allocation: it isn't money you can set aside. Credit cards are available on all plans. For now, credit cards are added manually. Automatic import from your bank isn't available yet: through open banking, banks share only the current account, not credit cards. ## Add notes to an account You can save a personal note on an account, manual or automatic, for example to remember the account number or a useful reference. When you add an account, or edit an existing one, open its dialog. In the **Notes** field, write what you want to remember. Confirm. The note appears in the account's **Details** card. ## Reconcile a balance A balance reconciliation pins an account's balance to a specific date. From that date onward, the chart anchors to that value. Open the account in **Accounts**. From the (⋮) menu, choose **Reconcile balance**, or use the **Add** button in the **Balance reconciliations** section. Choose the **date** and the **amount**, that is, the balance at the end of that day. On saving, the chart anchors to that value from that date onward. To edit or delete a reconciliation, use the (⋮) menu on its row in the **Balance reconciliations** section. Reconciliation is available on both manual and automatic accounts. On an automatic account, it lets you seed the history before the first synced date (instead of a line at €0) or correct a value inferred by the system. It is not available on brokerage accounts, where the cash balance comes from the broker itself. To understand how balances and history are calculated, and which value takes priority when several land on the same date, see [how balances work](/en/concepts/how-balances-work). ## Removing data The accounts page does not include a flow to delete an individual account. To permanently remove all of your data from guito, [delete your account](/en/account/your-data). ## Related pages How open banking, authorization, and connection renewal work.
