The voting system here is only a measure of people here who like the idea. It’s not a metric of how many actual people who use Monzo would like a fully functional banking portal.
Agreed, Monzo will always do what it wants to do, it’s a business after all.
I’m not however personally convinced that just having a large customer base intrinsically means you are going to know whether they want something or not.
I personally prefer having a portal, for me it’s easier at times to see everything on a bigger screen. Monzo UI/UX is good, but it’s also quite ‘busy’ and If I could see that on a bigger screen with more space, it would help.
I think you’re entirely missing the point. Voting isn’t the only metric they would use to gauge interest or popularity. It’s likely one of many. I didn’t suggest otherwise.
Have we definitely agreed that no-one has any idea if and why Monzo might introduce a web interface?
I always thought a major reason to remain app-based was security. To introduce a web interface would massively increase the security risk due to the myriad of browsers and platforms available and also increase the workload of those responsible for security. But if that’s been mentioned I missed it?
I’d certainly never use a web interface, very rarely open a laptop these days, although it IS fun to use the Remote App feature thingy on a Chromebook.
It would be fun to have a ‘financial life’ site built by Monzo using all the connected banks and Trends stuff, along with Mortgage, investments etc but I can’t see it happening.
