Hi Sunke,

I think that Ausgleichkonto would be "balancing account" or "reconciling 
account" in english.

I think your bank maybe moves the money and seems to show a hidden internal 
account is used.

I don't know anything HBCI, so can't comment about scripts etc.  If it is just 
one time per month, I think I would manually edit the transaction from account 
1 to go to account 2 and delete the Ausgleichkonto to account2 transaction.


HTH,
