Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

A newly added Lloyds Credit Card (UK) linked with GoCardless has created an opening balance transaction showing the balance of the account as the credit limit on the account.

The log contains the following entry whilst syncing. As can be seen the repsonse contains two balanceAmount entries, the Credit limit one (interim Available) and the actual balance (interimBooked). As this is a credit card, this appears to be a mistake.

Available (first 10) transactions properties for new integration of institution in calculateStartingBalance function {
  balances: '[{"balanceAmount":{"amount":"8000.00","currency":"GBP"},"balanceType":"interimAvailable","referenceDate":"2025-10-09"},{"balanceAmount":{"amount":"0.00","currency":"GBP"},"balanceType":"interimBooked","referenceDate":"2025-10-09"}]',
  top10SortedTransactions: '[]'
}

How can we reproduce the issue?

You can change the starting balance to be correct if it was not generated properly.

GoCardless is moving away from individual bank data, so I don't know if its worth changing anything in the code for this.

Thanks... good workaround.

What's the deal with Go Cardless? Is that going to break actual syncing with banks, or am I misinterpreting your comments?

Gocardless stopped allowing new users and will likely get rid of the free syncing entirely at some point. No idea when that would be, but the Actual project is looking at other options

You're welcome to give Lunch Flow a try 😀we are registered as a business with Gocardless so the api is not going away, and we give you control over which balance to use in the api 😀

This can be fixed with a custom bank handler, I'd need the institution ID from the logs though. Moving this to a feature request
