The cashier
The Cashier panel on an account is where cash taken or paid at a counter is captured against that account, and where you see what has already been captured.
It answers one question: what cash has crossed the counter for this account.
What the panel shows
One row per cash movement, newest first.
| Column | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Trading Date | The day the movement was captured |
| Transaction Type | Whether cash came in or went out |
| Amount | The amount, in the account’s currency |
The list is searchable and sortable, and it exports.
Capturing a movement
- Open the account and select the Cashier panel.
- Select Cashier, then Deposit or Withdraw.
- Type the Amount.
- Confirm.
The account’s balance moves immediately. Cash has no payment rail and no settlement date — the notes change hands and the balance changes with them. The movement also appears on the account’s transaction list, like every other posting. See reading the transaction list.
For the account-side view of the same two movements, and where they sit among the other ways money reaches an account, see cash over the counter.
What this panel does not do
The panel records cash against the account. It does not balance the till.
There is no drawer balance on this screen, no shift to open at the start of the day and none to close at the end, and no check that the drawer holds the cash you are paying out. Reconciling a counter’s takings against its drawer is something your organisation does outside this screen today.
That matters for one case in particular: the panel will let you record a withdrawal the customer is entitled to even when the till has no cash to give them. The account is right; the drawer is your own count.
Where a payout can go
The Cashier only ever pays out cash across the counter. A payment that leaves by transfer instead — a withdrawal, a maturity, an early withdrawal — goes through the account’s own payout, not through this panel. See taking money out.
Which destinations one of those payouts offers depends on what that operation allows:
| Destination | What it is |
|---|---|
| The customer’s own bank account | An external account the customer holds elsewhere |
| A personal beneficiary | A third-party account captured for this payment, not in your directory |
| An approved beneficiary | An entry from your organisation’s approved-beneficiary directory |
| The customer’s own account here | An internal transfer to another account they hold |
Choosing a destination the operation does not allow is refused straight away, at the moment it is chosen — never later, and never on the day the payment would otherwise go out.
What your organisation configures
- Whether the panel appears at all. It is a licensed capability, and an account type has to list it. See switching features on and off.
- Which products take cash. Most deposit products do not.
- The drawers each counter runs, held as reference data against the day the drawer balancing arrives on this screen.
- Which destinations each payout offers. An investment withdrawal typically offers the customer’s own account, a personal beneficiary and an approved beneficiary; an interest payout typically offers only the customer’s own account and a personal beneficiary. Your implementation team sets this per operation.
