Question
How can I split a transfer to show bank charges associated with the transfer?
When we make payments between accounts in different currencies, the sending bank and the receiving bank both levy fees, so the amount received is less than the amount sent. Quickbooks imports the transaction as a credit net of these fees, and you can't split a transfer. How do we record the fees? For example, say we transfer £10,000 from Natwest to our Euro account with HSBC. The amount of Euros is €11,600. Natwest charges £25 for making the transfer, and HSBC charges EUR30 to clear the funds (€60 in total). The imported HSBC transaction shows the transfer was for €11,540 which is wrong as the accounts will not show the bank charges.
