# Accounts

> Cards, cash, bank accounts and property — with several currencies each, opening balances, logos, order and archive.

An account is any place money lives: a card, cash, a bank account, a deposit, even an apartment you want counted in your net worth.

## Create an account

Open **Accounts** and click **Account**:

- **Name** — “Main card”, “Cash”, “Savings”.
- **Type** — Card, Wallet, Bank, Cash, Savings, Credit or Property. It sets the icon and the grouping; accounts of type Property are left out of the Runway widget.
- **Owner** — who in the household it belongs to, or shared.
- **Opening balance** — one field per currency. Leave a field empty if there is none of that currency on the account. Currencies must be added to the household first — see [Currencies](/en/docs/currencies/).

## Several currencies on one account

A multi-currency card stays one account. Each currency gets its own balance row, with the equivalent in your base currency next to it. A new currency appears on the account as soon as an entry brings it there.

If a currency’s balance is back to zero, **Remove** hides that row. Nothing is deleted: the row comes back by itself once there is a balance again.

## The account card

Clicking an account opens its card: balances by currency, **Balance over 6 months** and the entries on this account.

## Correct a balance

In **Edit → Balances**, type what is on the account now. The difference is recorded as a **Balance correction** entry; earlier entries stay as they are.

## Logo

Upload a picture — a bank logo, for example — under **Logo**. Pick a file or paste it; it is resized automatically.

## Order and grouping

- **Order** lets you drag accounts or move them with arrows, or sort them alphabetically or by balance. Accounts appear in this order everywhere: the list, the overview and the entry panel.
- The list can be shown **As a list**, **By type**, **By currency** or **By owner**.

## Archive or delete

- **Archive** hides an account you no longer use but keeps its history, so reports still add up. **Restore** brings it back.
- **Delete** is only possible for an account with no entries.
