Amounts formatted
wrong.

EU vs US number formatting. Where to flip it, and what changes when you do.

Currency picks the format. EUR uses €1.234,56 (dot thousands, comma decimal). USD/GBP use $1,234.56 / £1,234.56 (comma thousands, dot decimal). The format follows the currency.

Number format problems in nouz are always currency setting problems. Set the right currency for your country and the format follows automatically.

01 Formatting is currency-driven

There's no separate "number format" setting in nouz. The formatter picks the right separators based on your currency. EUR, PLN, NOK, SEK, DKK, CHF default to European format. GBP, USD default to British/American format.

02 How to fix it

If amounts are showing in the "wrong" format, it usually means your currency is set wrong. Open Settings → Business profile, check the currency dropdown, and set it to whatever your bank deposits in. The format updates instantly.

03 No standalone format override

There's no setting like "EUR currency but US format" today. The currency choice is the format choice. If you genuinely need a non-default format for your currency (rare — usually only for non-standard accountant tooling), email support@nouz.co and explain the situation.

Switching currency doesn't convert. Don't switch currency just to change the format — switching also changes the symbol and the implicit meaning of past entries. See Choosing your currency for the full rules.
