Overview
Your manual accounts are found in Settings > Manual Accounts. This is where you add and update the things that don’t connect to a bank — a home, a car, cash, or an unsupported institution — so your net worth reflects your whole financial life, not just what syncs.
What you can do here
- Add assets that don’t connect — a home, car, cash, or valuables.
- Track balances Treasury can’t sync and update them over time.
- Choose a type (depository, credit, loan, investment, other) so it counts correctly toward net worth.
- Edit and delete manual accounts any time.
What are Manual Accounts?
Manual accounts let you include financial assets and balances in Treasury that aren’t connected through Plaid. They’re perfect for tracking items that still contribute to your net worth, even if they don’t exist in a traditional bank or investment account. You can use manual accounts for:- Physical assets like a home, car, or jewelry
- Cash on hand that isn’t in a linked bank account
- Investments or holdings not supported by Plaid
- Closed loans or credit lines you still want reflected in your history
