I just want to share a quick sneak peek of something that @Sam designed while ago for the Android app. Why showing it now? Because we’re about to build it! Plus a few extras
First of all you are getting a cleaner drawer. It will show you how does your profile look to others when you send them money (this is on preparation of upcoming profile pictures, of course )
The biggest change is the new settings panel though. Very soon you’ll be able to decide if you want to receive notifications, enable P2P payments, control magstripe ATMs (useful if you travel out of Europe) and check how close you are getting to the card limits.
You’ll only need to switch on Magstripe withdrawals when you’re abroad so for most users, it won’t be used very often.
It would increase the visibility of a setting which is often overlooked at the moment by users. But I know that Monzo is working on ways to highlight the setting for users at times when they’re likely to need it…
Yes, at some point we will probably have “card settings” and move it there. That’s actually how it works on iPhone but for now we prefer to keep things simple on Android and only split the sets of settings once we really need it.
Sorry for the delay in replying, but may I suggest renaming the button “REQUEST HIGHER LIMITS”. A more generic version would be “REQUEST LIMITS CHANGE”, in case Monzo ever build the ability to lower some limits e.g. to reduce certain misuse risk (e.g. limits while abroad on holiday), or because the limits are too high for someone’s normal spending (e.g. reduce max single card payment). Other “limits”: might appear in here in future, where lowering might be more likely request.
I’m finishing up the penultimate task for Settings today! There are few other small fixes we want to get in with the next release, so probably this will go out to the beta channel next week
Looking good from beta, it’s nice to have something that fills out the app (less blank space), guides you to support to change user details and I now know my Monzo user number (44854)
Is there any chance you remember the date when you received your card & activated it in the app? This is usually a couple of days after you transferred the initial £100 deposit, as the cards are then sent 1st class. You will have received your 1st ‘login to Monzo’ with a magic link on that day. And you might have tweeted your user number or made your first transaction around that time…
