Thanks, Kavi. I hope there’s not been too much anger on here and you’ve found it useful to talk things over with the community. Always keen for feedback on what we could collectively do better though.

(And you’ve always seemed familiar. Perhaps we’ve met in a previous life?)

@kavi Will be sorely missed & he was a hugely influential part of the Core app team :pray:

I wanted to give a quick update that favourite payees is now in Monzo labs for app version 3.68; This should be available on TestFlight / Beta by the end of the week I think!

Ooh this is amazing. :hot_coral_heart:

Seeing it in action, I wonder if there’s any possibility of having favourites at account rather than contact level. I have two accounts in my name that I send money to frequently that would be excellent to get one tap access to!

I’m not sure I’m keen on the fact I have a bunch of payees that have been auto-set as favourites. Is that an expected thing?

@tbutz The decision we made was to migrate your old “Frequent” list exactly as it is to your new “Favourites” list. This is to minimise the cost of introducing favourites for people who are already accustomed to tapping people in their frequent list. Is the reason you’re not keen because that list isn’t reflective of your actual favourites?

Yes, it’s just there’s at least one one-off payee appearing in there. They were recent, but not “frequent” (i.e. only one payment!). It’s fine, I can live with it and de-favourite them, just wondered what was going on.

Edit: Just realised they had two payments. One was a test “to make sure it was the right account” followed by a proper payment. So frequent does make sense.

Just noticed that monzo contacts whom you haven’t paid before, do not go it into the “all” list, instead they are under monzo contacts. One stop short of deleting them if you wish, I think this is a good decision! As they now sit in a list right at the bottom, that I will never go to.

Thanks, yep we consciously wanted to move them out of your payees!

Great move! Will be glad to have favourites once TestFlight updated too.

Frequent has never quite worked for me - always been a bit too quick to add someone recent but not what I’d considered frequent.

Apart from converting a monzo contact into a payee that Kavi shared, what’s up next? :eyes:

Also, something little but on the payment tab, there’s to much writing under “pay” and it gets hidden with an ellipsis. On an iPhone XS.

I do like the new Payees hub, but I also think hiding it behind the extra tap is a little strange.

In the Payments screen, will you be getting rid of the sections ‘Favourites’ (horizontal scroll) and ‘Recent’ (vertical scroll)? - there really is no need for them at all now and would free up space on the Payments display.

And then if the Payee hub was displayed in its place (under ‘Move money’), which is a vertical scroll anyway, everything needed would be on the Payments display and there would be no need for the extra tap on ‘Payees’

That’s what I thought. I think it should just be the payee hub as the “payment” tab.

Payment tab → select contact → request money or select an account to pay. Solid payment flow. No duplicate lists

I have a slightly different question: what’s the logic behind the recent list? I assumed it would be the last people you paid, but mine seem to be a bit random. Is there any science behind it?
