Proposal

What is the root cause of that problem?

The bank account input fields (account number, IFSC/routing code, SWIFT, etc.) in the international deposit account flow are rendered as TextInput components with iOS autocorrect enabled by default. The native BaseTextInput defaults to autoCorrect = true (index.native.tsx:65), and none of the bank detail form pages override this.

The affected pages are:

• BankAccountDetails.tsx (personal wallet flow)
• BankInformation.tsx
• NonUSD/BankInfo/subSteps/BankAccountDetails.tsx (workspace flow)

Additionally, the Confirmation page only validates acceptTerms — it does not re-validate bank field values before sending them to the API. So if autocorrect modifies a value after step-level validation passed, the corrupted value reaches the API unchecked.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

Add autoCorrect={false} and spellCheck={false} to all TextInput fields in the bank account detail forms listed above. These fields accept structured data (account numbers, IFSC codes, SWIFT codes) where autocorrect is always harmful.

This should be applied to the InputWrapper components in all three affected files, specifically for fields that render as TextInput (not ValuePicker).

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

An alternative would be to re-validate all bank field values on the Confirmation page before submission. However, disabling autocorrect on structured financial input fields is the more direct and appropriate fix — autocorrect should never apply to bank account numbers and routing codes regardless of downstream validation.
