# Reconcile your bank feed (with AI categorization)

**Category:** [Accounting](https://help.totalctrl.app/hc/totalctrl/totalctrl-help-center/en-US/categories/accounting)
**Updated:** 2026-08-19

Connect your accounts with Plaid and TotalCtrl pulls in transactions for you to reconcile. Imported lines are *not* auto-posted — that would double-count payments already on the ledger — so you resolve each one.
## The reconcile inbox

Open *Accounting → Reconcile*. Each bank line can be:

- **Matched** to an existing ledger entry (e.g. an invoice payment) — no new entry is created, the line is just marked reconciled.
- **Categorized** — posts a balanced entry to the account you choose (money in → Dr Cash / Cr the category; money out → Dr the category / Cr Cash).
- **Ignored** — for internal transfers or duplicates.

## AI categorization

Click **AI categorize** and TotalCtrl suggests the most likely account for each unmatched line. Review the suggestion, then categorize in one click.
