Creating manual accounts

A manual account is one you maintain yourself — cash, a credit card from a bank we don’t support yet, a brokerage line, a friend who owes you money. Balances update only when you say so.


Add a manual account

  1. Go to Banks and click Add manual account.

  2. Pick the account type: Checking, Savings, Credit card, Cash, Investment, or Loan.

  3. Give it a name (e.g. Wallet or BBVA Credit Card).

  4. Choose the currency.

  5. Enter the current balance — this becomes your starting point.

  6. Click Save.


Currency: free vs paid

On the free plan, the currency dropdown is locked to your default currency — the one you picked at signup. You’ll see the message “Currency is locked to your default.” next to the field. To unlock other currencies, upgrade your plan; the app surfaces an upgrade dialog when you try to change it.

Paid users can mix any combination of currencies across accounts; Finthy converts to your default for the dashboard total.


Keeping the balance up to date

When you add, edit, or delete a manual transaction, the modals offer an Update account balance toggle. Leaving it on keeps the account total in sync automatically; turning it off lets you set the balance by hand. See Recording manual payments for details.
