Chase Bank Copies Monzo Ad

Anyone noticed how similar the radio ad for chase sounds like the Monzo Tv Ad

Bit annoying

Not really. I mean firstly the Monzo TV ad was quite some time ago now, but I don’t think it was some unique style that isn’t done by lots of other companies.

I wouldn’t get too annoyed by it; bigger fish to fry :joy:

Good to see you’ve changed your mind about not using the forum anymore.

Have you got a link to this advert?

I don’t see the issue?
Seems like a generic tech Bank advert to me.
Tennant is my man crush though :heart_eyes:

It’s very generic. I don’t mind it, but it’s really quite an ordinary advert. The US is filled with this style (in between the medical ads of course :joy:)

Did you tell your colleague you’re about to post on a forum you’ve have two* tantrums on and said you’d never be back but keep coming back to?

Maybe it’s you that needs to go out and meet people.

No just 1st world problems, doesn’t affect anything in the slightest

Do you also get upset that Tesco and Sainsbury’s are running virtually identical ads at the moment (We price check against Aldi, so you don’t have to!’).

The Monzo ad wasn’t that original to begin with - the initial ad for the TSB relaunch after it split from Lloyds had a similar concept - people being ‘reintroduced’ to the bank.

I’ve always found the Aldi comparison a bit odd - why would I go to a shop that has 200 things at Aldi prices instead of going to Aldi that has everything at Aldi prices? It’s like a hotel saying they have two rooms that are as good as the hotel next door.

Again though, how is this ripping off Monzo?

Be careful I had a warning about sharing the info before taking the survey! :grimacing:

It looks promising though; if they can get a decent rate then great.

Ideally the savings accounts will be able to make direct debits and such too… a bills pot earning interest while it’s sitting there to be paid, yes please.

It definitely was before you clicked start, but I can’t get back to that screen given I’ve completed the survey.

Why are folk so eager to keep big corporates’ secrets? JP Morgan is one of the biggest companies in the world. If you haven’t signed an NDA you don’t owe them anything.

It really doesn’t matter in the scheme of things.

That’s reasonable. But I’d ask (generally, not aimed at you specifically) to just avoid conversation on here about that sort of stuff. If we end up with those in the know and those who don’t, it’s never particularly nice.

More on topic, if the adverts end up with someone trying to buy something quirky, someone badly making something out of clay and someone saving up for a holiday, together with the quirky challenge/ response approach from Monzo’s ads, then we can definitely send in the lawyers see they’ve taken “inspiration”.

I mean there really aren’t many things that people save for or do with a debit card so the adverts are going to have similar content. The style might be similar but then I think that style is just… common these days. It’s all I saw on banking adverts in the US so I don’t think Monzo quite invented it :laughing:

It’s a fairly standard used formula:

Person appears to be doing something we dream of doing; camera pans out to show they are actually doing something we all do; bank says it’s because of them being their customer.

As for NDA’s etc; JPMorgan being a large company means nothing to be personally. If I have joined their surveys and they ask me not to share some things then I won’t. Them being a large company have nothing to do with it.

SSSHHHH!!!

We’re not allowed to share that info :rofl:

Edit: This is why I should read ALL the thread, before posting. I see it has been raised up there already :smile:
