✅ Custom Category Creation

[anon72173902]

Like this?

Does anybody ever do a search before asking a question?

We seem to have an influx of people asking the same questions or making the same suggestions

Custom Categories - 1

Hi, Two features I think we need: The ability to create custom categories. The ability to split a transaction across multiple categories. Eg a big shop at the supermarket could well contain several categories of spending rather than just all be groceries. Cheers, Mike

Custom Categories - 6

Hey guys, Recently got my card and its great. I feel like allowing to add custom catergoies would be great. For example I’d like to track how much I spend on lunch etc. Thanks!

One for the FAQ?

blah de blah

[anon72173902]

What you mean this one?

FAQ (Simplified)

Here’s a first pass at a FAQ Can I keep my prepaid card once the current account has launched. NO, but the Current Account can be used in exactly the same way but with greater card acceptance Are you sure? I really like it. YES I’M SURE While I’m waiting for the current account card, can I keep using the pre-paid card? YES, the transition to the current account happens when you activate the card after receiving it in the post, as described on https://monzo.com/blog/2017/10/10/current…

[SMuurphyy (Sarah M)]

Yes exactly. Surely the fact that so many people asking, means it will be a worthwhile update!

The ability to add your own would be great as well.

[SMuurphyy (Sarah M)]

Would really help with the budgeting! Perhaps, sub headings under “eating out” like “dinner”, “lunch” etc.

Or “beauty”, “clothes” etc in “shopping”

[LiamDC (Liam DC Nisbet)]

Hi guys

I’d like to suggest a split of the “Shopping” category, to include:

1.Toiletries and
2. Clothing

and a split of the “Groceries” category to include:

1. Food
2. Pet Food
3. Medicine and
4. Alcohol

Finally, now that current accounts are being rolled out, a breakdown of the “General” category to include:

1. Rent
2. Energy (Utility) Bills
3. Other Rates (Council Tax, Water Rates etc)

thank you!
Liam

This looks like an interesting expansion of Custom Catagories

[nicholas-c (Nicholas Carter)]

Although there isn’t a category for “Lunch” specifically; I do believe (and works on my prepaid) that if you search “Lunch” it does come up with transactions around the lunchtime period automatically.

I don’t think its documented anywhere, but it does seem to work! (Can post a screenshot if needed!)

[Eddine (Carlos)]

Would it be possible to add a targets subsection or tag for lunches? would be great if spending between 1-2pm would go into its own category

[BobT (Bob)]

Great find! Also works for ‘breakfast’ and ‘dinner’

Any other hidden search terms available?

[tomsr]

This does not work for me…

edit - it does work. Neat hidden feature. It doesn’t auto populate - so you have to press search for it to find results.

[BobT (Bob)]

I’m using iOS?

discussed here way back when

• Searching using notes

[BobT (Bob)]

[DaveTMG]

[DaveTMG]
