Hi Anita,

I would suggest that the account you need to create is Income:BankError, since 
the extra money is presumably already showing in the bank account, and you 
need a transfer account for it?

I might use Income:OtherINcome as a transfer account (with plenty of notes in 
the transaction), to avoid creating a (probably) single-use account in the 
tree. 

HTH,
Maf.
