Create Account Nickname

By default, your accounts will be displayed in the format "Account Number - Account Name."  You can change the default account format display to "Account Name", "Account Number", or "Account Name - Account Number" within the My Profile & Preferences Page.  However, you can also assign a nickname to an account.  If you do assign a nickname to an account, the nickname will be used throughout Private Passport, regardless of what is selected within the 'Account Display Format' within the My Profile & Preferences page.

Create Nickname for Account

  1. From the home page, click Settings -> Manage Accounts. All the accounts are displayed in a list in the Accounts tab.

  2. Select the checkbox next to one or more accounts that you want to edit, and click Batch Edit.  The Batch Edit Accounts page is displayed.

  3. Enter the nickname for the account(s) in the Nickname field.

  4. Click Save.

Note:  If you decide that you no longer want to have your account displayed by nickname, then follow the above steps, but instead of entering the nickname in Step 3, delete the text in the Nickname field.  If there is no nickname assigned, the account will display according to the selection made for 'Account Display Format' within the My Profile & Preferences page.
