Connected Accounts: what's next? Final poll 💔 and discussion

[dannymidd]

when can we see vanquis cards being in labs ?

[Orinoco]

I’ve tried to search but can’t find anything concrete, but do transactions from all the connected accounts show in a single master feed? I had a trial of Plus a few months back and can’t remember if it worked like this or not.

[Carlo1460]

No unified feed as yet.

[josepheliotlucas (Joe Lucas)]

Ahh what are the chances. Alas it’s the credit card I’m after but sounds like not long now!

[xnox]

This is really good.

I see it does not have “move money” / easy-transfers option.

Is easy transfer a separate functionality implemented by some other team? or something that doesn’t yet work / being worked on?
It would be nice to have “move money” for virgin accounts.

[_lewis]

Hey yep the easy transfer and move money features are powered by the external providers payment initiation api which we have to integrate with separately.

We’ve done this for Virgin but there’s a few things we’re waiting on them to fix before we can release it to labs.

Hopefully we’ll be able to start testing this with labs customer soon

[caribo]

Any news on easy transfers for Starling? or do they not support them yet?

[Joel.Stanton]

Yes to this

[Joel.Stanton]

On my RBS and NatWest connected account feeds, I’m needing to manually categorise roundups as savings for every transaction. Is there no way to offer the ‘for this and all transactions’ option for connected accounts?

Naturally it’s multiple transactions each week I’m needing to tidy up and recategorise to get my trends on point. The naming of the transactions is the same so shouldn’t be too difficult to implement I’d assume?

[_lewis]

Hey Lewis here from the Open Banking team. Today we’re adding Chase as a provider into labs

Remember you need to turn on the “Test Other accounts in Monzo” toggle in Labs before you’ll see the option to connect Chase.

And as always, you’ll need Monzo Plus or Monzo Premium to connect an account.

Let us know what you think

[Orinoco]

Excellent! Really really happy with this.

[chrisjamesgunn (Monzo Plus Member)]

Amazing news

[chrisjamesgunn (Monzo Plus Member)]

Can confirm, looking great

[Carlo1460]

Can you pick which accounts it shows if you have multiple? And does it by any chance carry the account name over?

[Orinoco]

Can pick multiple including savings accounts, can’t see a way to view the name though. In the details the Account name just says Chase.

[Paulw (Paul)]

Savings included. This is great. I wished other banks included savings.

[Carlo1460]

Think it’s down to how Chase configure them, I’m sure they’re essentially current accounts with interest attached from a backend view.

[dinosm]

Wooow, this view alone is worth the £5 per month! Just discovered you could do this, and Chase was the cherry on the cake

EDIT: The only bug I see so far is tapping on that “External accounts customisation” on the unified feed doesn’t do anything at all.

[Orinoco]

@dinosm

Wooow, this view alone is worth the £5 per month!

I’m currently upgraded to Plus specifically for this as it is by far the best open banking implementation I’ve seen, a lot better than the standalone aggregator apps that do it, and I’d rather have it in a banking app I trust than with a separate app anyway. This is now the only banking app I need to open day to day.

[Kumnaa]

Seems to be working ok but Is there a way we can manually name accounts? I’ve now got 6 accounts called Chase
