AND THE RESULTS ARE IN!
What’s gone down? Let’s take a look…

And the winner is… Monzo credit card
To the surprise of no one who’s been following along, folk really want a Monzo credit card. Will we get one? What would it work like? Discuss what’s what with Monzo credit cards over here!

In silver medal position… Card payments from Bills Pots
Also popular throughout, this might well be coming with Plus/Premium. But will it just prove to be too difficult? Only time will tell…

And finally on the podium… Dark Mode
Not so much a feature, more a quality of life improvement that more and more people are seeing as essential for apps in 2021. Monzo’s been flirting with it for a while, but will they focus and finally deliver it this year?
Now, some honourable mentions:
Cheque imaging - the itch that never gets scratched…
Full web app - it exists for business accounts. Will it get switched on for personal accounts? Even for paying customers?
Battle of the Pays
I’m convinced I’m giving them too much prominence. There’s really very little interest: Samsung at 4% of the votes, and Garmin at 3%. They’re bottom of the table (when you exclude the catch all ‘something else’). The cynic in me is now convinced that Monzo will release these but nothing else in an act of epic trolling.
So what does this tell us?
Monzo isn’t finished. But then it was never designed to be - properly designed and supported software never is.
But interestingly, we’re seeing a mix of wants: new products (like a credit card), innovative personal current account functionality (pay from pots), app-based quality of life stuff (dark mode), core banking functions (cheque imaging). So it’s not like Monzo’s ahead in one area and behind in another.
What next?
This hasn’t been a Monzo-approved poll. Indeed, I suspect a few Monzonauts are probably sighing about how deeply unhelpful they think it is. So we won’t expect any changes on the back of it. If we’re lucky, we might see a few of these ticked off over the course of the year…
