Transaction Types are a way of classifying transactions.
Hash Tags allows the system to recognize what to do with each line item. They are appended to the narration given in the bank statement. A ‘#’ will separate the narration from the classification as well as each additional item of information where required.
Each transaction will be tagged directly to a Currency Account. For asset transactions, the currency of the underlying needs to match with the currency of the account used.
On this page, we'll explain and provide examples for each Transaction Type and corresponding Hash Tag.
