Big few weeks coming up for Monzo - guesses?

[TR1]

The ability to re-order pots. Or is that too big?

[adinus (Adam)]

If I remember right, the 2.51.0 Android teardown included something about American accounts. So I’m guessing that’s about to launch!

[MohammedAlRahbi]

IBAN/SWIFT is coming - means international transcations will be enabled.

[hahahahywel (Hywel)]

Don’t give me false hope!

@Peter_G

Integrations with investments and other providers?

This is quite plausible, especially as this was posted 16 hours ago.

TomB announces run for PM with a crowd-backing video, raises 45 million voters in 20 seconds.

Far fetched?

@alexbrooks

This Thursday gets us going

Less than 24 hours

[sonos (Piers Spencer)]

What if this was a lowkey way of gauging what we want most.

[JustJordds (Jordan)]

Just stalked @Tristan’s latest activity on the forum

Got a feeling it is something to do either with Monzo Plus (possibly new offerings a la interest on account balance or gadget insurance); or

More savings products/vehicles.

Think @Peter_G has it with his myriad of guesses!

[Liamford1993 (Liam)]

I’m hoping it’s some monzo plus progress releases. If it’s the US launch it’s hardly exciting for existing customer (although it is good news).
Hope that tomorrow I’ll be able to order my metal plus card and add things to my existing plus package

[johnbiondini]

I would love them to launch in Europe too. So many people in mainland Europe know about Monzo but are unable to get an account.
I understand the issues with different languages but the could trial it and scale the customer service team accordingly?

[nathanthomson8 (Nathan)]

I’d prefer if they didn’t do this if im honest.

Team stretched thin enough as it is developing BA, JA, Plus and now US expansion.

Feels like CA improvements have fell by the wayside.

[adztaylor]

Hopefully a bigger rollout of Monzo Plus with more features. I’ll be onboard right away.

[johnbiondini]

I wouldn’t expect the current customer service team would cover support for other languages? Probably they will for the US launch though.

[JustJordds (Jordan)]

I don’t think we will see an international expansion - yet

There are too many things that are half-baked IMHO to give a good enough reason to expand. Build the base stonewall product first, then send out internationally.

[adztaylor]

Now that is spooky. Who’s reading this? Haha

Literally just got this the second after I posted.

[nathanthomson8 (Nathan)]

I meant in terms of general book of work

This… x100

[johnbiondini]

True but many of the features they have built for the English market might have to be adjusted/restructured to accomodate different processes, laws, cultures.

[JustJordds (Jordan)]

That is sort of another point into not expanding right now.

If a feature isn’t even finished for the UK market (and is therefore subject to change) how can you ensure that any implementation of the same feature overseas would continue to meet legal, process and culture standards.

[tommy5dollar (Tommy Long)]

I expect a big announcement about the US launch and the Y Combinator funding.

Although, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s an Ireland/EU soft-launch before then. It did always seem dumb that they’ve not launched to some extent in Europe, even if its just so migrants can take their Monzo home with them and start some word-of-mouth traction.

Perhaps it’ll be the launch of multi-currency support? They’ll need that for a US launch anyway?
