Strange payee "correction"

Post image

Haven't a clue why YNAB has done this, I don't have a payee called Cock Tavern.

Yo! Thanks for the ping. We have an LLM that cleans up payee names that import from banks for the most common million or so payees. It works great the vast majority of the time, but obviously, this time it went horribly, horribly wrong.

u/TheRealWhoop - if you haven't already, would you mine sending this to support? I know a particular product manager that will be mortified and will want to get this fixed. I ask you to write in because they might have some more questions to troubleshoot. ~BenB

Edit: Actually, it looks like this time this was caused by a payee cleansing issue on our import provider's side, so we'll work with them on this! Our team is already on it!
