The Bank transactions page lists the bank and credit card transactions that have been brought into MYOB Essentials. If you haven’t set up a bank feed or imported a bank statement, this page won’t show any transactions. See Bank feeds and Import bank and credit card statements.

For each bank or credit card transaction on this page, you need to either:

  • match it to an existing MYOB Essentials transaction (or bank transfer)
    or
  • allocate it to one of your MYOB Essentials accounts.

Watch this great overview of how to work with bank transactions:

What to look for

When you allocate or match a transaction, you’re identifying whether or not it has been entered in MYOB Essentials. You should check for:

  • Transactions already entered in MYOB Essentials (eg. invoices and bills, or payments like Spend Money and Receive Money transactions). You should match these bank transactions to the corresponding MYOB Essentials transaction. See Matching bank transactions.
  • Transactions not entered in MYOB Essentials (eg. bank charges, bank interest, cash withdrawals or deposits). You should allocate these bank transactions to the appropriate MYOB Essentials account. See Allocating bank transactions.
    If you have regularly occurring bank transactions that always have a particular description (such as a transaction containing the text BANK INTEREST), you can set up rules to manage them. The next time these transactions are received or imported, MYOB Essentials will allocate them automatically to an account you choose. For more details, see Creating rules.
  • Transfers between bank accounts. If you’ve transferred money between two of your bank accounts, MYOB Essentials can match the two bank transactions, even if you haven’t entered a bank transfer transaction into MYOB Essentials. You should confirm that this match is correct. See Identifying transfers between your bank accounts.

  FAQs


How do I delete a transaction?

The Bank transactions page shows what's been brought into MYOB Essentials via bank feeds or imported statements. This means you're unable to delete any of the entries shown. But if there's a corresponding transaction in Essentials, this transaction can be deleted.

See these topics for more details.

Why are some dates on my credit card bank feed different to my bank statement?

The dates on credit card bank feeds can vary to the dates on your bank statement due to the difference between the transaction date and the date the transaction was processed by your bank. This usually occurs due to weekends and public holidays which delay the bank processing.

This means a transaction made on a Saturday may not be processed until a Tuesday. The transaction will then come through on Wednesday’s bank feed with Tuesday’s date. The bank will subsequently adjust the date to show on your statement as the actual transaction date.

This leaves your bank feed transaction dated for Tuesday, but on your bank statement it shows with Saturday’s date. Although transactions are still able to be allocated and matched normally, this date discrepancy could pose some reconciliation challenges when they occur on either side of a month, quarter or a financial year.

If you need help working out the best way to handle these discrepancies, check with your accounting advisor or contact our Tech Support Team (Australia: 1300 555 123 or New Zealand: 0800 60 69 62).
