App, Security and Privacy (Fingerprint, Pin, or Password)

I would not want someone to know my balance is £80,000 (or £1.00 for that matter) or that most of my transactions are for purchasing cake or visiting a sauna (imaginary examples)

Thanks for flagging this. We’re totally aware of it and it has a place on the roadmap.

The first step will be for us to build fingerprint scanner support. So you can unlock the phone and then hand it over to a friend to check a web or something and they can’t open Monzo without presenting the fingerprint again.

Second question is if we’ll let you use PIN as a fallback and we haven’t decided yet about it.

For now, the easier workaround would be to switch the Android user to a guest account and then handover the phone (which in general is probably not a bad idea anyway).
