A sneak peek at an upcoming campaign for the new Monzo

I think the UK needs more scrappy startups and more risk taking.

I agree with this as a general point.

But I think the majority of people - and that’s who Monzo will need to appeal to going forward - want some stability in their banking apps (in particular) and won’t appreciate the highly agile rollout model Monzo have used to date. Especially when some things are just left at MVP rather than being developed after launch.

While developing in this way is fine, it has to adapt the way it rolls out features so Monzo appeal to a wider audience than just this forum or mainly millennials…

Exciting times ahead. No idea what the secret thing could be. I’m trying out Bill pots but not sure I’ll use them long term as I use Summary. What I’d like to see for eg 3.1 is the spit and polish akin to Apple snow leopard or iOS 12. Finish off unfinished features, tidy up inconsistencies, make animations and scrolls smoother, better payee management etc. Then go for adding new features after that.

100% agree with that. Spend six months sweating the small stuff and focus on core money management.

That doesn’t mean no new things, but a commitment of a couple of squads to polish and finish - other teams can continue on the new stuff!

(I’m absolutely including budgeting and payments in the polish and finish btw)

I agree and your points aren’t without merit, on the contrary, a balance must be struck and you’ve experienced it too far towards the chaos end of the dial.

What to do? I guess Monzo need to find out specifically when something they’ve done has been a bad experience and why, and potentially allow people to connect to that feature team, or the feature team to get in touch. My teacher wife always reminds me its the behaviour at the time, not the person in general

The way we work is changing and rather than command and control, which we’ve suffered for centuries, great companies are reorganising around autonomous cells. I wonder if, as customers, we were more accepting of mistakes and more in touch with the people behind the products we use, more companies would relax the reins, be better places to work and make better stuff.

It must be to do with reordering pots and displaying your money with other providers all in monzo!

My money is on it allowing you to split your salary up into different pots, on receipt of it (whether that’s early or not)…

Quite likely. Considering it launched recently for Business accounts.

[neovo]

I’ve not seen this - have you any screenshots or links to a thread?

[vojtech_vrbka]

[Marksummers]

Is this for business accounts?

[neovo]

Nice, cheers

[Ordog]

It has got to be for business accounts because all the other interest and ISA pots are missing

[Marksummers]

That’s what I was thinking!

[Ordog]

Would be great for personal accounts though when I do a bit of freelance work!

I’m so excited for when we get this launched. I’ve seen so much more amazing stuff in the pipeline too - lots of which started off as ideas here on the community.

I’m so proud to be part of both the community & Monzo.

This has nothing to do with an advertising campaign. There is a topic to discuss bills pots below which I’m sure all of this has already been addressed:

Oh and use punctuation. It’s so hard to read

Monzo Labs: Bills Pots

Hey everyone We’re really excited to let you know that we’re ready to test Bills Pots! This’ll allow you to pay for direct debits (and soon, standing orders), right from a Pot of your choosing. It’s available now on Android, and will be available for iOS on Tuesday. What are Bills Pots? Exactly what it says on the tin! You’ll be able to assign any direct debit to be paid from a specific Pot, rather than from your main balance. Right now, we’ll only support direct debits from Bills Po…

Topic for feedback on the new navigation is here:

We're working on a new look for the Monzo app

EDIT: There have been many updates to this thread over the past few months. If you’re new to this thread, please start by reading our last State of the World update here: Original post below Hi everyone We’re making some improvements to navigation of the Monzo app and would love to get some early feedback from you! We started thinking about a new navigation for the Monzo app a few months ago and have an early prototype that brings some of these new elements to the app. This is just o…

@pauldnugent

secret feature we haven’t even talked about yet!

I have a feeling this will be a set amount coming out of your salary, straight into a pot then the bills pot comes into play

[gmclean]

@pauldnugent I’ll be interested to see this, although I’m more interested in HOW this will be communicated.

I’ve been ‘away’ from this forum and whilst it’s nice seeing adverts on bus stops, I’ve seen virtually NOTHING about Monzo anywhere else. Will these wonderful new things be pushed to us in-app with a message? Or are you hoping that people are following on social media channels?

As an example, I’m also a customer of Bank of Scotland who are working hard on their app, and now and then I get a screen telling me of a new feature.

Any hints
