On the day I first started to use one of my bank account (which is synchronised with QB), there is an entry in the Bank Account History of Cheque Expense for an amount I don't recognise at all. Payee Account: Opening Balance Equity, Memo: Opening Balance from bank. I have no idea where it is coming from. I have this for only 2 of my bank accounts (one in GBP, one in USD, we report in EUR)

Let me share what I know about Opening Balance Equity, Emmanuel-parcelh.

 

Opening Balance Equity is an account in the equity section. We use this account if you enter opening balances for new customers and vendors. Or for opening balances for other Balance Sheet accounts created in the Add New account box. 

 

You can read this article to help you learn more about the account: Understanding the Opening Balance Equity Account.
