Hey Maxime,

I tested the functionality as well but do not understand how this is supposed to work in Homebank.

Attached is a screenshot of what I did in Homebank.

My workflow is simple :
 - I have 2 accounts in two separate currencies (EUR and CHF)
 - I am trying to transfer money from the CHF account to the EUR one

In homebank I entered a transfer of CHF 1000 (as internal transfer does not allow to select the destination account) on the CHF account and selected the EUR account. The EUR account is credited with 1000 € and the CHF account is not debited. Even after setting an exchange rate in the currency management.

In Grisbi when entering a transaction you can select the currency of the payment. If it is different from the account's it will ask you to enter the exchange rate (or even simpler the amount in the account's currency). Then both account will be debited/credited with the amount in its own currency.

Sorry I was unable to do this with homebank. I am probably doing it wrong ? Already the fact that currencies exchange rates are fixed in the manage currency windows won't probably work for the above workflow as exchange rates fluctuates constantly.

If needed I can provide more information on how it is done in Grisbi.

Hope the feedback is helpful.
Cheers
