It's January 2023, and we STILL can't use a nickname, and must use a legal name. That's not safe for many of us. Please make the updates available for all.

Yes, you can give cards and banks a nick name. It’s been possible to do for almost a couple years, if we are talking about the same thing.
Go to the Wallet page, click the bank account or card you want to give a nickname to and click on the link called “Give it a nickname” under the bank or card info.
If you’re talking about using a fictional name, that is not possible. Got to be real name to verify info.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
