I love our merchant logos, but our merchant system needs work. I’ve been putting quite a lot of effort into improving our internal tools to give us greater visibility of the overall health of our data, and to make it easier to do large scale refactoring. By far my number one priority with this work is to reduce duplicate “merchant groups” - in other words, if we have 5 different “Starbucks” each with different logos and shop locations, these need to be merged.
I think this lays the groundwork for a more complete system where we can crowdsource more data, allow people to track their feedback, and give merchants the ability to log in and manage their own presence on Monzo.
Below is a screenshot of what we see on the new system so far (it’s WIP).
