Copy in payee account details from other app

Would it ever be possible for Monzo to, say, pick up a screen shot or PDF of an invoice to make it easier to copy across sort code/account number? Even just an image you can zoom into and type out again - otherwise I always have to get my laptop or a pen and paper out.

If I need my Monzo account no + sort code, I donโ€™t need to copy as remember it well :nerd_face:

Still, if you need to copy it, look at your account number, go โ€˜โ€˜Current accountโ€™โ€™ :arrow_right: โ€˜โ€˜Manageโ€™โ€™ (next to the Feed) :arrow_right: press on โ€˜โ€˜copyโ€™โ€™ sign :point_left:

Every timeI need to copy 1 of my existing contactโ€™s acc & sort numbers, I choose the payee :arrow_right: click on โ€˜โ€˜editโ€™โ€™ :arrow_right: mark the field with numbers you need to copy and allow your phone to โ€˜โ€˜select allโ€™โ€™ :arrow_right: choose โ€˜โ€˜copyโ€™โ€™ :partying_face:

If you are after copy from OTHER apps, it entirely depends on OTHER app functionalities :neutral_face:

Luckily, Monzo app does not close after 10 or 20 or so so seconds, as (eg) Lloyds app does. That makes Monzo app use much smoother :monzopride: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Cheers, but I mean for non-monzo details from e.g. an email invoice. If I get plumbing work done, the plumber emails a PDF with his bank details in. I canโ€™t memorise 14 digits at once, so I have to write the details down or flip back & forth between apps about 4 times to get the number over!

Maybe one day this idea/technique will be implemented to simplify the detail transfer as technically itโ€™s possible but not designed in banking system yet :grin:

I believe banks need to deliver account number and sort code reading scripts, โ€œteach itโ€ to recognise the data and copy it :nerd_face:

Will see in a near future, hopefully :soon:
