📄 Description

As a UK user I have to setup Bank Sync again every 90 days and an extremely minor annoyance (but one that I thought I'd fix!) is having to select my country each time. I assert here that a default country selection of the user's current country (based on Timezone/Locale) is more helpful than an empty default.

Timezone/Locale's obviously not a direct analog for country but even if it's wrong for someone who regularly selects a country that's not the one they're accessing from, it's still more helpful than an empty default and the same amount of work to select otherwise.

Let me know what you think! I could go deeper on this and have the system remember the last country the user selected perhaps?
