Please can NAB be added to the bank accounts we can link?
Background
The National Australia Bank is one of Australia’s “Big Four” banks
Reason
Scope
Monzo has a huge amount British users.
It’s common for British people to spend time in Australia and vice versa.
These travellers and migrants are disproportionately likely to use Monzo, considering it is famous for its great exchange rates.
Many of these people (Aussies and Brits) will therefore end up with a Monzo account and a big 4 Aus account.
Magnitude
The linking bank accounts feature has limited benefit if a user can’t actually see an overview of all bank accounts.
People who believe in Monzo’s product enough to want to financially support it and access “high-tech” features like linked bank accounts should be reciprocally cared about by Monzo, by implementing suggestions where possible. Making renewing paid monzo a no brainer for these users who don’t have a broken up experience, still checking other banking apps.
Monzo don’t yet support all UK banks in connected accounts.
I’d also question the assertion that it’s “common” for Brits to spend time in Australia, or that those who do are more likely to use Monzo and, presumably, choose NAB over any other of the big four.
I get that it’d be useful for you but I can’t see that there’s a compelling argument for Monzo to add NAB over any missing connections closer to home.
Also while it’s easy to open and maintain an Australian bank account while not resident in Australia, it’s almost impossible to open and maintain a UK bank account when not resident in the UK.
