The transition from traditional brick-and-mortar banking to digital-first neobanking has introduced significant shifts in financial user interfaces and data models. A common source of confusion for new users of the Colombian digital wallet Nequi is the apparent absence of a traditional "account number" (e.g., a 10- to 18-digit numeric code). This paper argues that Nequi’s lack of a conventional account number is not a deficiency but a deliberate design affordance that reshapes user behavior around peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions, security, and financial identity. We explore what substitutes for an account number within Nequi’s architecture: the linked Cédula (Colombian national ID), the cell phone number , and the proprietary Nequi Tag (e.g., @username). We conclude that the "Nequi account number" exists as a sociotechnical fiction—a phantom limb of legacy banking—that masks a more fluid, phone-centric model of value transfer. 🛡️ : Never share your login "Clave" (password)
