Radio silence. Really frustrating.

Yeo, really hope this does not slip off the radar. Thought this was the whole point of labs - surely lets get it in there at least.

I just wanted to add my voice that having Virgin Money Credit Cards linking is the one thing that holding me back from signing up to the Monzo premium account tiers. Really would love an update!

Any news on this yet, appreciate kids account is launching soon but would be good to have this in place with Virgin credit cards :crossed_fingers:

@_lewis its been 2 months since your last communication on this, any chance of an update? The radio silence is arguably more frustrating than an update with no meaningful progressā€¦

Weā€™re now rapidly approaching mid August @_lewis and as several people have said the lack of any response is extremely frustrating.

Hey :wave: Sorry for my lack of updates. Weā€™ve been working on other projects, which sadly means I havenā€™t been able to spend time on getting Virgin Money into Labs.

Once Iā€™m able to dedicate some time to this I will. I understand that this probably isnā€™t the update you wanted, Iā€™m sorry that we havenā€™t been able to get this into youā€™re hands yet. I havenā€™t forgotten about it and we will get it done. Happy to answer any questions.

Thanks
Lewis

Thanks @_lewis

Hi @_lewis - can you even say where this is in your backlog? Itā€™s been the most asked-for feature for years now. Are you able to share which projects are in front of it?

Hey Will :wave: Adding new connected accounts providers, isnā€™t work we tend to schedule. Instead these sorts of tasks are worked on when thereā€™s a lull in project work. Weā€™re currently working on a migration for conformation of payee. Iā€™m hopeful that after this project, Iā€™ll be able to spend some time on this but thereā€™s no guarantee. I hope this provides some insight tho :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks @_lewis. If Iā€™m honest I do find it a bit surprising / disappointing that connected accounts is a feature we have to pay for, yet developing and expanding the capability is seemingly a ā€œside of the deskā€ task.

A lull in project work in a growing bank? So basically this is very unlikely ever to happen?

Lets just hope they all get converted to Nationwide accounts following the takeover and then the problem goes away.

Even allowing for typos, i dont get this, sorry!

There are connected accounts in ā€œLabsā€ which have been thst way for, whatā€¦ two years?

At least we know where we stand. Itā€™s the only card I have that I canā€™t add, but I wonā€™t hold my breath.

Why donā€™t people just wait?

Itā€™s kinda rude hassling people for something out of their control.

Youā€™re at no financial loss, and it takes less than 20 seconds to open your other banking app and check the balance.

Yeah, sadly itā€™s also the only one i use, and their app is terrible so i really wanted to rely on a Monzo connection :sob:

Weā€™ll have to disagree on what constitutes ā€œhasslingā€.

Which I wouldnā€™t need to do if this was developed.

Multiple people, having read the topic, still tagging and moaning about it = hassling.

Not aimed at person alone.

Other banking apps also arenā€™t integrated into trends
