Action Performed:

4. Look for "Wells Fargo"
5. Search for the "Wells Fargo" and initiate

Expected Result:

User should see "Wells Fargo" option and able to continue

Actual Result:

Bank name is not available in the list and searching and continuing triggers production flow
NOTE: Looks like toggling staging server is not effective. (We are blocked with all the regression test case which require adding VBA)

I'm not fully sure we would hide something on staging servers. Will ask this in slack.

This is related to this PR: #9423

Since we moved plaid's logic from web-s to web-e, changing the flag to use staging on web-s won't do anything in this flow anymore.

I'm putting this into a discussion that's happening right now about using staging env for web-e.

@danieldoglas So should this be tested in production now?

[danieldoglas]

I don't think Applause will have credentials for testing in production. There's a discussion ongoing right now. I think we'll actually send builds from staging pointing to staging soon. https://expensify.slack.com/archives/C03TQ48KC/p1658415135702599

[luacmartins]

Sounds good! So we are either fixing it by pointing our staging build to staging API or doing internal prodQA for these?

[danieldoglas]

moving this to weekly since it's in discussion
