Payees for Transactions

I am still learning Money...I basically have all of my accounts setup,
etc. but I haven't gotten into the reporting or other similar features.

Two of my accounts are with the same FI. One is my checking account
and the other is a credit card. When I make payments to the credit
card, I transfer money from the checking account (on the FI's website,
not in Money). When I download the transactions, they are listed as
"Transfer to Mastercard", etc. I am wondering what if it is best to
list the payee for these transactions in this manor? or, If I should
treat it as if I were writing a paper check and list the payee as
'MyBank'.

I wasn't sure if something like this would affect reports, etc. once I
get into using them. Any help or suggestions is appreciated.

Thanks!

Also, I have the same question(s) for finance charges on CC's.

Thanks!

In answer to your previous question, I would put the Pay to: as MyBank Visa
or whatever entity is indicated on the CC statement when they write "make
cheque payable too....". But you can do it as you indicated, it's really
just a matter of preference

In regards to finance charges, it'd put the charge against Pay to: MyBank
Visa and categorize it as Bank Charges:Interest Paid.
