Seems to be! Also seems to be more effective than a forum thread as well

If other banks behaved like Monzo, I could raise a steady income of Ā£20 āWeāre sorryā payments from the amount of advertising RBS & Nationwide cram into their apps.

I really donāt think Nationwide has a lot of advertising. All there is are links to their other available products at the bottom of the home page. They are never in your face and blend in very well with the rest of the app
I couldnāt disagree more. Over 50% of the app home page is adverts, and thatās without counting the āProducts you might likeā section, which is the nearest equivalent to Monzoās Upgrade tab.

To bring the topic back to Monzo, I wonder how they decide who gets the tab and who doesnāt? I still donāt have it. Also, does the card corner still exist?

Interestingly, the Upgrade tab has disappeared sometime this afternoon. Donāt know why or how, or whether itās just gone for me and still there for others, but itās gone for me for the moment (and Iāve acknowledged this in the in-app chat).

That disappeared for me after a while. I didnāt particularly mind that - I prefer it not to be there but I didnāt find it particularly intrusive. I donāt mind the big blue āUpgrade your accountā pill when I pull down for the list of accounts and pots, nor the āSee other accountsā in the vertical pots list (provided that it stays at the bottom of that list).
Iām not, as someone seemed to imply, averse to Monzo advertising premium products and services - until they begin to hinder my use of the basic service. It has been interesting to see the diverse views on that in the thread - perhaps itās partly an age thing, Iām not sure if thereās an element of that.
Anyway for the moment that problem has gone away and I hope it stays gone

I donāt have that. Maybe because Iāve already got the Start to Save account? All Iāve got is the products at the bottom. Personally, I found the adverts in Monzoās app stood out more and felt more like an advert than the ones that I see in my Nationwide app.
Yeah it would be pointless targeting that ad to you since you have the account they are selling but whenever they come up with something new thatās one of the places you will see it.
My RBS is pretty clean of ads right now but I goes through phases and the online banking can be even worse with full road block ads.
I think a button at the bottom isnāt a big deal but it should have been in the 3rd slot not the second.
Hi all, the announcement weāve just made in News & Updates should hopefully clear this matter up!

Now thatās a button I can get behind. But hopefully thatāll only make 4 buttons at the bottom of the screen, not 5 
Canāt say Iām a fan of this new Plus advertā¦
It looks more like an advert for other banks than for Monzo.
Edit: just realised it is dismissible so not that bad.

I thought showing joint account first made me immune from the peeking cards, but today I spotted the blue Plus card peeking out from the end of the carousel. Luckily it could be dismissed. Big plus to Monzo for that

Yes, dismissible is fine I think.
