Do you mean “Imbalance-CUR” where “CUR” is the three-letter code for your currency (e.g. USD, GBP, EUR, etc.)? If that’s the case it’s due to your not assigning a destination account for the transaction in the import matcher. Yes, "paper trail” is becoming metaphorical, like “dialing” a “phone”. When everything’s done there shouldn’t be any imbalances. If you transfer 1000 from bank a to bank b either you end up with 1000 in bank b or you book any fees that the banks charge for the transfer to an expense account.
