Bank accounts
A bank account in Zhmara X stands for one real account at a bank. It holds the bank details (bank, branch, account number, IBAN, SWIFT) and has its own account in the chart of accounts, so every payment and receipt through it shows in its balance and statement.
Go to Bank › Bank Accounts. The Bank section must be in your plan.

The company's default bank account is special: it is the built-in Bank Accounts account that all companies share. Its name and code can't be changed and it has no opening balance of its own; only its bank details can be changed here, and it can't be deleted. To start with a bank balance, add your own bank account with its Opening Balance.
The number of bank accounts is limited by your plan.
The bank account page
View shows the account's Current Balance, Total In and Total Out, and its movements of the Last 30 days. Full Statement opens the Bank Statement report.
For a foreign-currency account, the balance is shown in its own currency and its Book Value in the base currency.
