Reversed inflows and outflows occur when a bank shares transaction data in a nonstandard way. This article will help you:

*   Correct the transactions so your account balance is accurate.
    
*   Troubleshoot the bank connection to potentially prevent another occurrence.
    

**First, is this an investment or loan account?** Review [I'm having trouble with my investment or loan account](https://support.ynab.com/en_us/im-having-trouble-with-my-investment-or-loan-account-SJAyeIpwll) instead. For all other account types, follow these steps: 

1.  Adjust any reversed amounts manually or, if there are a lot of transactions, we recommend deleting them in bulk and using [File-Based Importing](https://support.ynab.com/en_us/file-based-import-a-guide-Bkj4Sszyo) (in the web app). With this option, inflows/outflows can be swapped with one click!
    
2.  [Reconcile](https://support.ynab.com/en_us/reconciling-accounts-a-guide-BJFE3fHys) to be sure your balance is spot on. 
    
3.  If transactions continue importing with reversed amounts, follow the steps in [Primary Troubleshooting for Linked Accounts and Imported Transactions](https://support.ynab.com/en_us/primary-troubleshooting-for-linked-accounts-and-imported-transactions-r1kZc67_xe).
