Manual bank and cash accounts
In Banking → Accounts you record your bank accounts, cards or cash by hand, without connecting the bank; every active account can be used to upload statements, reconcile and record payments.
If you are not signed in, Tario asks you to log in and opens your current company.
Steps
In Banking → Accounts click New account. Accounts are manual: you do not need to connect the bank's API.
Fill in the Account name, the Type (Depository, Credit, Investment, Loan or Other) and the Account number (optional; it is stored encrypted).
In the accounting section choose the Account subtype and the Currency (for example colones or dollars). Tario creates the account in your chart of accounts with that subtype and currency.
Check Enabled to make it a default payment account and add its balance to Cash on hand on the dashboard. Save with Save account.
The form has no opening balance field: the Current balance comes from the recorded movements. To start from the real balance, record a New transaction of type Deposit on that account in Accounting → Transactions for the opening amount, or import the bank statement.
The list shows Balance, Imports, Transactions, Payments and Status. View detail shows the Recent transactions and Recent statement imports, and from there you can Upload statement or Reconcile account.
When you stop using an account, use Archive: it stays in history but is hidden from new uploads, reconciliation and payment registration. Restore makes it available again.
Tips
- You can record cash or petty cash as one more account (type Other): that way cash payments land in their own account.
- To record invoice or bill payments you need at least one account that is not archived.

The selected subtype is not valid for this bank account type. | The Account subtype does not match the chosen Type (for example, an asset subtype for a credit card). | Change the Account subtype to one compatible with the type, or adjust the Type, and save again. |
