Add a bank account - the account name fills in automatically (Nigeria & Ghana)
When adding a Nigerian or Ghanaian bank account, the account name is verified and filled in from the bank and account number.

1. Go to Bank Accounts → Add Bank Account (or Settings → Banking).
2. Choose the bank and type the account number (10 digits for Nigeria).
3. The account name is looked up automatically and filled in. You can still edit it.
4. Save. For other countries type the account name manually.
If the lookup fails (bank offline, wrong number) you will see a short message - correct the number or type the name yourself.
