Feature Request: Custom Account Types
I was 1 step from becoming a paid member, but the lack of this feature turned me off.
It seems I am not the only one asking for it:
https://budgetflow.featurebase.app/p/custom-account-types-pleaseeee
https://budgetflow.featurebase.app/p/can-account-types-be-customized-and-added
https://budgetflow.featurebase.app/p/accounts-grouping-eg-folders-on-the-main-page
https://budgetflow.featurebase.app/p/editable-account-categories
...etc
Suggested addition:
Add a new menu item right above the current Account Type, called Group.
Why?
Let’s say I have :
3 sub-accounts in Bank A
2 sub-accounts in Bank B
4 sub-accounts in Bank C
Having this feature integrated, I will end up with something like this:
Group 1: Bank A
Account in EUR
Account in USD
Account in GBP
Group 2: Bank B
Account in EUR
Account in USD
Group 3: Bank C
Account in EUR
Account in USD
Account in GBP
Account in PLN
On the left side (sidebar), all my bank accounts would be visible and grouped under their bank name (or whatever group I want them to be in).
This would make the account list much clearer and easier to manage.
In addition to the above, it’s important to have a feature to add/remove Account Types, as well as being able to reorder them.
This change would make the app much more flexible and convenient to use.
@Fabian, please let me know your thoughts on this.

Account Type: Loan
Add “Loan” as it’s own account type that has the ability to assign its monthly payment info (amount and date) like the Credit Card type.

Account Types Customisation
Hi, I would like to see the option to create my own Account Types such as E-wallets as I am based in Asia where E-wallets are very common.
Also, to have a bit more organisation, can have a bank category where we can filter or group the accounts based on our local banks.
Having it open-ended would require more set up on the user end but it would be optional and good for those who are willing to do so.

I’m also looking this. I’d be using it to create an account bucket for accounts that hold savings for Tithe money

[Feature] Add account type for loans
Hello, I don't know if there is currently a way to use the loans in the application, if there is not a way, I think it would be better to add a new type of account for loans.

Hi @Alejandro Ponce,
to track loans you can create an account of the type "Liability" :)

Add account type for credit card reward points
Hi, would like to request a feature to track accounts of type - reward points from credit cards, as we can redeem these to avail monetary services like subscriptions, cover partial expenses.
Required additions-
1. Account Type - Reward Points
2. Currency - Reward Points
3. Point to currency conversion factor (optional) → 2 reward points = 1$ for example
Then I can plan to pay for some of my subscriptions / hotels from the reward points balance easily.

Can account types be customized and added?
I need a 'network account' and a 'virtual currency account'.
