It is, but the advice above is also important. As Monzo almost never seem to let people back in these days
In all fairness that’s quite typical of banks. I wouldn’t expect the FD/HSBC team to be able to answer that, which I guess is why the community exists.
Does the Help guide refer you back to here for tech support @AlanDoe? I think it does…

I wonder if the problem is caused by the £90 “negative” spending, taking the total spend into negative territory?
1 Like
Me too. Though I can sort of see why they might choose to not insert a negative value for Total Spend.
As you said “That’s so Monzo.”

I mean, CS didn’t know the answer.

I mean it’s not dumb, Monzo could just show a negative in the total spend 
Or have any total spend be in red and any positive income total be in green.

It’s great to see how much you’ve spent over a period of time. Let’s say hypothetically, you want to see how much you’ve spent over the last few weeks.
July 3rd running balance indicated your balance was £2000.
70 transactions later
July 27th, your balance shows that you’re now on £1500.
Now realistically, you won’t remember what your balance was on 3 weeks ago to the day, so this helps tell you that approximately in the last 3 weeks you’ve spent a total of 500 than you’ve gained.
It would also help on paydays, to know what your balance was before you got paid. This may tell you that you have a few £ extra that you can put away into a pot.
In short, it just makes mathing easier. You only have one sum to make as opposed to xxx transactions.

Trends tab - Balance - top right, tap This month and be sure your payday is the date show at the bottom.
You can then slide right on the balance graph and see what your balance was before payday.
Trends - Spending.
Then slide your finger along the graph to see what you’d spent over those 7 day windows.
So after 70 transactions, have you spent £100, or spent £500 and had a credit of £400?
There’s a cool functionality on the Santander app (I guess it’s not exclusive to them) that I would like very much to see on Monzo.
They display the money on the account after each transaction.
Example: Imagine you have £500
Then you do several transactions, this is what you see on the app
- Greggs £4 (£496)
- Nandos £20 (£476)
…
To me, seeing how the money goes down make me picture better how I’m spending my money.
Thanks!

Vote for this request here:
Currently 148 votes and the 8th most requested (not-yet-implemented) feature. However, given it was suggested in 2016, I wouldn’t be too confident that additional votes would matter much.

You never know, cheque imaging finally appeared and post office cash deposits! I really miss this feature.

Not really the same: These two are product features. The suggestion on this thread is a design choice. You never know though.

I really wish Monzo would add the option to include a running balance, I have voted for this previously.

This is such a old request! Is it not possible? Some feedback from the devs wouldn’t go amiss…
Voted - I have a bunch of (often variable) direct debits that come out from my account within days of payday. Very often I want to see this simple value - what was the balance on a given day (i.e. PayDay) without me having to start subtracting recent transactions to go back in time.

Voted, it would be very useful to see this information when you’re scrolling down your activity,
In one of my previous banks you just swiped in from the right and it showed the extra column (I can see why not always showing it makes it clean, but a quick action to hide / show would so nice)

When you go into transaction details it would be really useful to see what my balance was after the transaction so i dont have to reverse calculate from my current balance
Personally think it’s crazy people want this, I just want my available balance - a running balance wouldn’t be of any use for me.
