  • Sometime near the end of December, our nonprofit's bank stopped talking to Wave for one of our accounts, (we have two checking accounts.) Then when I tried to reconnect, it wouldn't validate my credentials. So I had to create a new connection and import transactions, which I imported from the date the prior connection stopped working. Now it'…

    I transfer money from my business account (connected to wave apps) to my personal account (not connected) via e-transfer. This shows up in my transactions as uncategorized. When I try to choose a category, there isn't a "Dividend" option or anything close to that. What's the recommended category to use for these transactions?
