Question

Receiving E-transfers

Hi there, 

 

I am wondering what the best way to record a deposit into my business account by e-transfer is, on QB Desktop.

 

For example, if a friend is paying me back for something, and e-transfers me to my business account. I need to receive this money, and then I transfer it into my personal account.

 

I would be receiving a deposit from an outside source, but not a customer. This leads me to think that it is incorrect to record this as a received payment. It also seems incorrect to receive this as a deposit, as it is not coming from any of my current accounts. It is coming from an outside source. 

 

Any help with this would be appreciated!

 

Thanks.
