@michaelw90 do you not see a payee created as a result of that payment? As far as I’m aware there should be.
If I may interject, from the Monzo app, please god from the app.
A lot of the people I have show in my payees list are old acquaintances that have Monzo but I’d never ever send money to, I’d love to remove them!

Having multiple payment flows is fine if they have the same look and feel, but they don’t. The UIs are very inconsistent, compare what happens when you click pay from the payments hub to what happens when you click a frequent payee …
P.s. frequent payees > favourites

Oh woah. The new little overlay/swipe-up when clicking pay > a payee with more than one account. (Sorry if this has been around for a few of these updates already but I only just noticed?)
That is just gorgeous. Such nice design and so good you don’t take us through a whole contact screen when we’ve already said we want to pay.
Clever, context-aware design.

You mean this?
I’d rather have consistency with the other places
Little thing I’ve noticed with this @robinb, you can’t do the iOS gesture of swiping it down out the way to dismiss it. You have to tap above the menu to go back.

I do mean that indeed.
I honestly think it’s very slick.
I disagree re needing consistency. On the payments home page, clicking into a payee could be for paying, for editing, or for requesting.
If you’ve already clicked pay, showing you the request option would be ridiculous, surely? And the edit option irrelevant, although I don’t think ridiculous.

That would be very slick. It definitely looks swipe-able.
Edit: I didn’t mean to say very slick twice in a row but it is how I feel.

But I don’t see why the slide up design is needed. It seems unnecessary and can slide over the back button as shown in the post I linked to.
Could just be like the payees page but with the top bit and edit button removed
I suppose my view would be why is a whole new page needed when you could do it quickly and (unless tons of bank accounts for one payee) very neatly?
I don’t think having it be like the other page with top parts removed would be bad. But for the bulk of payees who have 1-3(?) accounts this seems great.

personally I don’t like the slide up list of accounts, it seems incongruous with other parts of the app to me.
As regards consistency my expectation is that clicking a payee in the frequent list of the Payments screen, would do the exact same as clicking Pay and selecting the payee from the frequent list. I would not expect to go to the payee edit page which is basically what happens now. I think selecting any payee from the the payments home screen should launch the payments flow… rather than dropping into payee hub …
Thanks for your reply. Much appreciated. That’s great about the search, seems like a neat solution. Good news re contact images etc.
We’ll have to agree to disagree on the grey lines 
I see your point with lots of payment screens, though if it were me I’d try and make them align visually - at the moment each one is slightly different in its appearance or function - I guess that’s why I noticed.
I would prefer to be able to delete my Monzo contacts (not off my phone) that I’m never going to pay any money to but might someday want to call them.
Looking forward to seeing Payments continue to improve

Is there a way to have it when I select a payee it doesn’t bring up their details and goes straight to the payment screen 
How would you go about editing or adding a bank account though?
Assuming this would work if you only had one account set on that payee?
Yeah but you could edit the payee and add or change the bank details
You make a good point maybe it’s best to leave it there 
Don’t get me wrong, if there’s only one account on the payee then it makes perfect sense but in essence you’d end up creating another screen to skip one just to go back to a page to edit/add
I think? It’s late, who knows 
Does anyone know if the ability to schedule / set re occurring internal transfers between personal and joint accounts or monzo to monzo accounts is something that’s in the works?
Currently you have to set it up as a new payee with it’s sort code and account number which isn’t as seamless.
Great work so far, really liking the improvements!

Yes I/we need this too 
We both have a standing order setup to deposit money into our joint account each month.

more fun stuff coming soo0on (next week)… converting a phone contact that has monzo to a proper payee – so you can do things like add other bank accounts, edit their name, add a pic etc. – without having to pay them first.
also that’s probs the last you’ll hear from me (as a staff member) so pls direct all future anger/requests to @robinb

If I’m interpreting it correctly, that’s a very bitter-sweet post - “Great new features coming, but I’m off”?
If it really is that, thanks for your insights and info. while at 
, and I wish you all the best for your future endeavours.
