Why are my bank account names displayed in English when I’m using the app in French?

Account names appear in English because they come directly from your bank via Plaid. You can rename them in the app afterwards.

When you see account names like “Checking” or “Savings” despite using the app in French, it’s because we use Plaid to connect your bank accounts.

Plaid retrieves the names exactly as they are registered by your bank, which are often in English, especially in Canada.

This isn’t a bug but normal behaviour linked to the information provided by your financial institution, which defaults to English.

Fortunately, you can rename your accounts in the app however you like, for example, “Vacation savings” or “Main account” for easier readability.
