Looks like push notifications while on a call to the help page

Find it a bit strange that the article is about interacting with support, methods of interaction, calls/in app wait times etc. Then the conclusion doesnât appear to cover any of that just focuses on an notification sent when you press an option on the call. I wonder if the call was from a number other than the one registered with the bank if that ârevolutionaryâ feature would still work?
Good article and analysis. Interesting to see data - demonstrates Monzo is very much middle of the pack, customer service isnât a differentiator which is a lost opportunity in my mind.

I had something similar yesterday- I had a large transaction declining and had to call to request my limits to be temporarily increased. Theyâd confirmed my ID quickly through a selfie and increased my limits over the phone in about 3 minutes!

Interesting article. Hope the author periodically updates it.
Whilst ends with a positive observation on Monzo, the data captured in the early part of the article is not positive at all.
Chat support times truly awful.
Phone support times mediocre - although this was actually better than I expected.

The actual reason music sounds bad on the phone.

Good article, although the point about announcing the call wait time while in the queue I disagree with. Announce the rough waiting time at the start and leave it at that.
If youâre in a queue, youâre generally listening to the hold music and getting on with something else while you wait. Youâre listening for a âchangeâ in the sound which grabs your attention as it indicates someone has picked up your call.
If the queue wait time is announced every 30 seconds, itâs causing that âattention grabâ every 30 seconds for no good reason, and making it difficult to concentrate on something else.
Of course, this is just a personal bugbear but I find it infuriating!

Yeah I hate that⌠Thereâs sudden silence and you get ready to talk, and then you get âyour call is important to usâŚâ
Just leave the hold music going, or, even better, call me back when youâre ready to answer (apparently thatâs common in the US).

This.
Itâs pretty common in the UK now and it is far and away the best experience for the customer.

Haha!
The worst example I have faced down the years is the HSBC phone one - their music coming over (probably) VoIP and then phone leaves it in a right state

Not to disagree, if we are talking phone calls, but I would really prefer to avoid the phone at all in as many cases as possible. Heck, I would even prefer to avoid chat if I can be given a button to push myself

This is a great website. Whoever writes this sums up exactly how I feel when I run through new websites or apps. Very well done!
