Where Does the Scalable Capital App Store Data?
Scalable Capital Bank keeps login session and portfolio cache in private app storage on Android and iOS, separate from server data.
Last updated
The Scalable bank and broker app uses the standard private data dir on Android under capital.scalable.droid. Databases, prefs and cache sit together there. Root file browsers can see the folder name but not the contents without root. Portfolio and documents sync from servers, so local files hold session and cached copies that repopulate after login.
iOS uses a sandboxed container with a per install GUID. The literal path changes per device, so quote the bundle ID when asking support. Statements worth keeping belong in the app document export, not in a manual folder copy. Clear cache from system settings for stale charts. Full storage clear logs out and drops biometric unlock, so prefer cache clear first.

Frequently asked questions
Do I lose my depot when reinstalling the Scalable app?
No. Positions and documents sync from Scalable servers after login. Local data holds session tokens and cached statements only. Reinstall, log back in, and the depot repopulates.
How do I clear the Scalable app cache on Android?
Open system Settings, Apps, Scalable Capital, Storage, then Clear Cache. Full Clear Storage logs you out and drops biometric unlock. Use cache only for stale charts.
