Under the name column, input an applicable name, then hit Saveand Close.
Once done, create a bank deposit and pick the account you added previously from your COA on the Add funds to this deposit section.
Select + New.
Select Bank Deposit.
Under Add funds to this deposit, select the interest income account you just created.
