And here I thought that there was a late night product launch.

Time for a hot chocolate/tea/mulled wine/beverage of your choice and tuck in for the night folks?

When you’re tempted to respond, just think be the better person.

Night!

Show me. Verbatim. Or stop making shit up that I never said.

What inaccuracies were there to call out in what was essentially a completely subjective opinion? Nothing in my post besides pointing out that a roadmap is not the same as an announcement is an objective statement, but you ignored that one.

There really was nothing of substance to reply to. It was all just a long winded, drawn out, and completely unnecessary attack on my opinion, when I disagree would have sufficed.

Like I said. I’m not here for another one of those “discussions”.

First salary post monzo move paid into chase and bills ready to come out of the same account, moved some money to day to day spending and saved the rest.

Although it’s not automatic I prefer salary going straight into the bills account. Impressed so far.

This needs some consideration. The alignment is annoying.

What’s wrong with it?

I’d thought it’s clear.

The upcoming box, payment amounts don’t align to the transaction below, wording doesn’t align either, the arrow could be on the left replicating a merchant icon, but still have the grey outline to define its upcoming and not a transaction.

Maybe time to go outside for a bit man.

It’s just not very visually appealing.

Appreciate you may not care about aesthetics but some do.

Ah, I get you now.

Can’t say it bothers me. That chevron call to action really needs to be where it is. It wouldn’t make sense to have it on the side.

I think the box defines the proportions well enough for the visual asymmetry to not matter much.

The alignment with the chevron arrow next to All Activity, which I noticed when looking for what the alignment issue could be (so thanks for that because I can’t unsee it now!) bothers me much much more!

The chevron has to be at the right hand side as this is a normal standard place for action buttons to be. It doesn’t need to be aligned with the transactions below because it’s a different “section” so to speak.

Personally it looks fine, I don’t think they will alter this particular design just because it meets standard design at the moment.

I didn’t consider this with thought process, not sure any other app has an action button to the side of it so didn’t cross my mind.

As above.

Me personally, I’d still prefer some form of merchant replacement icon to bring it in line, even with the action button at the end.

It’s fairly standard in iOS at least, arrow on the side of “where” you’re going (forwards or backwards).

Both can be seen in the mail app:

I don’t have this in Outlook, not sure by memory many other apps do.

View based on how monzo, starling, revolut handle their upcoming.

I’d be content with just a form of icon :melting_face::joy:

If it’s an obvious button to action then you don’t really need one. The mail above doesn’t really need the > as it’s obvious what pressing the item does but it’s there still.

Monzo do use it:

It would be bizarre for the > to be before the text.

I wouldn’t have it as tiny as it is to the left, as I say, in place of a merchant icon, same size and visibility and style.

It’s moot, and solely a preference of mine.

Given that it’s a UI element to indicate that the box is expandable it wouldn’t make sense elsewhere under pretty much all existing UI guidelines.

They could put a hourglass of fast forward icon where a merchant logo would go, but that would be visual clutter IMO.

Chase just gave me a survey on a most useless product idea: giving a ‘bonus’ on their savings account if you keep the money in there for X number of days, so basically a hybrid between easy access and fixed term.

Except the bonus was ÂŁ10 if you have ÂŁ5k in the account for 90 days (on top of the interest).
And the alternative was an extra 0.9% instead (so 5% total).

Am I too quick to judge this as boring and useless? Many easy access accounts, including ISAs, currently have >5% rates now, making this pointless in my opinion.

They’ve just robbed HSBCs online bonus saver concept. It’s not a bad product either.
