# Reconciling Credit Cards

In order to reconcile a credit card, the credit card must be set up like a bank account so that you can create reconciliations for that account. For more information on setting up accounts, click [here](http://restaurant365training.com/adding-a-new-gl-account-bank-account-or-checkbook/).

After you have set up the credit card as a bank account and have began to accrue activity, you will start a bank reconciliation for that account. For more information on bank reconciliations, click [here](http://restaurant365training.com/bank-reconciliation/).

The main thing to remember when starting a bank reconciliation for a credit card account, is that the credit card is a liability. Consequently, you will need to **change the beginning and ending statement balances to be negative**. Then check off your transactions as you normally would to reach a difference of '0' on the bank rec.
