Thanks Peter for a comprehensive report on the new roll out. Could I ask are you able to change the period to 4 weekly (28day) pay periods
TIA

If I worked for Monzo, I would definitely do this for you*. But I don’t, so cannot.
But I think it’s a jolly good idea!
*Actually, even if I did work for Monzo, I’m not the sort of person you want rummaging through your code base.

Basically it needs to work like a decent calendaring app, doesn’t it?
(Also: please privately publish my past and expected transactions as a calendar I can subscribe to).

Day 2 of the rollout and still no sign 
Monzo need a big rollout counter showing how far they’re through. Similar to the one they had on their homepage to track account openings but in reverse of course

I think these roll outs usually take weeks rather than days. And hardly ever any on the weekends (I think that Monzo engineers keep an eye on them to make sure that nothing bad is happening as the load increases).
It’s a bit rubbish, but hold on in there. It’s in Monzo’s best interest to get it to everyone asap.
(And I feel your pain: most roll outs I’ve been living on here vicariously whilst others have all the new things).

In other new Trends news, here’s an excellent bit of attention to detail. I’ve been a bit critical of Monzo for not going far enough to spark joy, but here’s an excellent counter example: the Pluse line changes colour to reflect the account you’re looking at!
Here’s a bold orange for Sainsbury’s bank:
And a deep blue for Nationwide:
And a not-quite-as-impactful grey for Monzo Premium:
These only show when you’ve just got the one account selected.

Is there a ‘pecking order’ I wonder on who gets the updates first? Length of time since account has been open? Full Monzo customers? Random? Alphabetical order? Whoever wrote something nice about Monzo on Trustpilot?

I think that it’s random, but potentially weighted to make sure there is a good cross section of user types (different OS etc). I don’t think it’s a reward system - it’s just to avoid things falling over by turning everything on all at once.

I think I prefer the in app gradients for Premium. And I do like the Premium app icon.
But Plus Flex card is the undisputed champion of Flex cards. It’s beautiful.

Almost certainly; you wouldn’t want to bias it and kid yourself it’s going to work better that it in reality will. Would be nice if they put this stuff into labs though so anyone who wants to get it can; I’d imagine past a certain point in any rollout the number of people who would dig it out of labs and enable it would be minuscule.

Question for Monzo @avb @AlanDoe
Is the pace of rollout cause it’s manual vs automated? I’m guessing this is so you can check things work as they should before pushing it to everyone?
Thanks for the hard work and looking forward to testing it out

It’s manual, we set a minimum app version and a % of users who should get access. Once we’re happy with how one phase of the rollout is looking, we up the % again
It’s a little complicated by experiment setup on top of it as well, but that’s mostly the gist of it
Which means, as a few of you have called out, we don’t rollout further over the weekends (as we’re not working) leading Monday to be a day we often look at increasing the rollout after a bunch of data from the weekend

Hey thanks for the reply.
That makes sense and what I was expecting to see.
Good luck with the rollout, looking forward to trying it out
