Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

After the bank account is added, payment account and payer are not shown under "Make or track payments".

What is the root cause of that problem?

I think this came from #56932 where the OpenPolicyWorkflowsPage is not re-triggered after closing the RHP. cc @s77rt @abzokhattab

Previously we use useFocusEffect to re-trigger OpenPolicyWorkflowsPage to keep data up to date whenever the page gets re-focused (closing the RHP is one of those cases).

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We can reapply useFocusEffect for this page only to temporarily fix this issue as this flow is a critical important flow.

useFocusEffect(
    useCallback(() => {
        InteractionManager.runAfterInteractions(() => {
            fetchData();
        });
    }, [fetchData]),
);

What specific scenarios should we cover in automated tests to prevent reintroducing this issue in the future?

NA

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

NA

I prefer to not add that use effect. Can wo do one of the following:

1. Optimistically set the bank info data if possible
2. Have the BE return onyx data after the bank is added
