Treasuries and balances
In Aikount, every account you connect is a treasury (tesorería). It's the unit Aikount uses to organize your money: a bank account, your Stripe account or your PayPal account are each a separate treasury.
What a treasury is
A treasury represents one account with real money and brings together two things:
- An up-to-date balance (live balance), the money available in that account.
- A movement history, all the debits and credits that have gone through it.
You can have several treasuries at once, of different types:
| Type | How it connects |
|---|---|
| Bank account | PSD2 open banking via Connect your bank |
| Stripe | The Stripe connector |
| PayPal | The PayPal connector |
The total balance on the Dashboard
The Dashboard has a treasury widget that shows the total across all your accounts alongside the balance per account. At a glance you see how much money you have overall and how it splits between banks, Stripe and PayPal.
The widget total is the sum of the balances of all your treasuries, so it reflects your real liquidity across every account at once.
You can add, remove or rearrange this widget when you customize the board. More detail in KPIs and widgets.
From treasury to accounting
Each treasury's movements don't stay isolated:
- They're browsed and filtered in Bank movements.
- They're linked to the invoices and expenses that caused them through reconciliation.
That way your treasury balances and your accounting always tell the same story.
