You can add a custom bank account in Bright Accounts Production and assign it to a nominal code in the Chart of Accounts.
Add a Custom Bank Account
- Open the relevant Client/Dataset.
- Go to Bank Accounts.
- Select Add Bank Account.
- Enter the relevant bank account details.
- Select Save.
The new bank account will then be available within the client.
Bank Account Details
When adding the bank account, you may need to enter the following information:
| Field | Details |
|---|---|
| Bank Name | Select the relevant bank using the search option. If the bank is not listed, select Others where available. |
| Bank Account Name | Enter a name for the account, such as Current Account or Savings Account. |
| Account Number | Enter the bank account number. |
| BIC | Enter the relevant BIC. |

Assign a Nominal Code
When creating a custom bank account, you can assign a nominal code between 771 and 784.
The selected nominal code will be added to the client's Trial Balance/Chart of Accounts.
Make sure the nominal code selected is appropriate for the bank account and is not already being used for another account.
After Adding the Bank Account
Once the account has been saved, check the Trial Balance/Chart of Accounts and Nominal Ledger to confirm that the bank account and nominal code have been created correctly.
You can then use the bank account nominal code for relevant transactions and opening balances.
