[GNC] Scheduled transaction for end of the day - bank interest

[Fross, Michael]

I’m interested in this as well.  I typically have the scheduled transaction
enter $999,999 as the amount. Then it’s very easy to notice it and update
it the next day.

Silly, but it’s been working in lieu of a better solution.
