Crediting Repayments to Targets

[Tobydouglas7 (TobyD)]

When we split the bill, would it not be a good idea, when you get paid that this gets deducted from your spend that month in that category in targets?

That does make sense, it’s something that Monzo knows they need to deal with -

It doesn’t reduce my total spent to show the £10 I’ve received. On a side note, I can’t categorise those incomes.

Incoming payment categorisation

Yeah, that’s something we need to fix too. We’re about to start working on money requests and bill splitting so we’ll add this to the list. Thanks!

Once you can add credits to categories, I assume that they’ll be credited to the category’s target too.

I’m hopeful that when version 1 of bill splitting gets released (as opposed to version 0, which is what we have now), this will be one of the changes that’re made. Naji’s comment suggests that it will be.

Ultimately, this is where Monzo wants to get to -

Bill Splitting 1

Ahh, wrote this reply out yesterday but forgot to press send We have got some initial designs that we’ve done some testing with, though they’re not in any build yet. For now we’re focusing on the current account but fingers crossed it’s something we can get in the app within a few months. In terms of the UI, we really see it as an extension of how send and request works, though the main difference in cost sharing/bill splitting is that the payment will be attached to a transaction.…

This would be very useful, is there any update from Monzo’s side?
