When creating a rule under "Replace bank memo," I can click "Keep existing bank memo." What does that mean? Will it replace the new transactions with the memo shown, or will it update the memo with the new info?

The memo you've entered will be added to the bank details provided by your bank, @baffled111. I'll explain this in more detail below.

 

When you select the Also keep existing bank memo checkbox, the text you entered will be added next to the original bank memo from your bank. In contrast, choosing the Replace Bank memo option will completely update the bank memo with the text you entered.

 

See the sample screenshots below for your visual reference:
