# Cash Accounts

Cash Accounts is where you save the bank accounts and crypto wallets you use to invest and to receive distributions. Each account belongs to one identity

Select the identity on the left, then set up its crypto wallets and bank accounts.

1. **Total Identities** Counts the identities you can hold cash accounts under.
2. **Identity list** Lists each identity with its type and country; select one to see its accounts.
3. **Crypto** Lists the wallets registered to the selected identity, with a form to add one.
4. **Wallet Address** Holds the receiving address for crypto distributions, in the format shown beside the field.
5. **Banking** Lists the bank accounts registered to the selected identity.
6. **Existing Banking Accounts** Lets you pick an account already on record for this identity.

### Two kinds of account on one screen

* **Crypto:** Takes an Asset Type such as USDC, a Network such as Ethereum Mainnet, and a Wallet Address, saved with Save Crypto Account.
* **Banking:** Offers a picker for existing accounts and a Create New option, with fields for Asset Type, Type of Bank Account, and Method.

> **Paste the wallet address and check it.** The address is 0x followed by 40 characters, and a crypto transfer to a mistyped address is permanent, so compare the last six characters with the source. **Select the right network.** A crypto transfer settles on the network it is sent on, so choose the same network the fund manager will use.

### Asset Type, account type, and method

Each bank account has three fields:

* **Asset Type** is the currency, such as USD.
* **Type of Bank Account** is the account category, such as Domestic US.
* **Method** is how payments reach the account, such as ACH, an electronic bank transfer.

> **Match the method to how the fund manager pays.** ACH and wire work differently, so set up an account that accepts the method shown on **Investor Distributions**.

### The summary card

The summary card counts identities. To count accounts, look under each identity.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.allocations.com/why-allocations/cash-accounts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
