What is a Cash Account in Navexa?

A Cash Account is an internal ledger for portfolio cash, manual by default, with optional trade/dividend auto-sync.

Updated over a month ago

A Cash Account is a ledger inside your Navexa portfolio. It is not your real bank.

Use it to record deposits, withdrawals, interest and fees so your portfolio’s cash and performance reconcile. You can turn on automation so trades and dividends post into one chosen Cash Account.

Good for

  • Mirroring broker cash (settlements, dividends, fees)

  • Tracking payout or savings buckets alongside investments

Not for

  • Bank feeds or CSV bank statements

  • Full bank reconciliation (use accounting software)


🧭 Understanding the Limitations

Before setting one up, keep these key points in mind:

  • Cash Accounts are portfolio-specific. They only sync trades and income from holdings in the same Navexa portfolio. A Cash Account in Portfolio A won’t receive dividends or trades from Portfolio B.

  • Cash Accounts don’t connect to your actual bank accounts.

  • There are no CSV uploads or automatic bank feeds.

  • Only trades and dividends in that portfolio can be automatically synced (if you enable trade-to-cash on that Cash Account).

  • All other movements — including deposits, transfers between portfolios, interest, and fees — must be entered manually.

  • To track multiple real-world accounts (e.g. trading, high-interest, or super payout accounts), create separate Cash Accounts inside each relevant portfolio.
