SoEasy is deployed with 4 standard bank accounts and additional bank accounts can be added at any time.
Take Note:
1: Every bank account is an individual set of records that require time to manage.
In addition, every bank account may create additional cost with your accountant as they will also have to review them.
Keeping your bank accounts to a minimum is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
2: Some businesses use multiple bank accounts to repeatedly transfer money between.
This is easily done but can create a problem later on down the track when you are reviewing transactions.
Make sure to keep transaction descriptions clean and detailed:
Example: A description of "Transfer from MAIN BANK to INVESTMENT" will help someone else reading your accounts to understand the transaction whereas "CR 00-78986665-002 - 00-98456834-003" could be confusing.
