Android pay is a separate issue for joint accounts, because the cards are also identical in the virtual wallet, and you can’t name them or anything.
I have a credit card as a main card for my android pay, and then occasionally have to put things on either the joint account or my main current account, this means I often end up selecting the wrong one as I always forget which of the account numbers is which
That’s an interesting point. Do you / does anyone know if Google Pay includes the “investor” line or other annotations? I think Apple Pay does which could be handy if joint accounts are the same design but with “joint account” under the Monzo logotype.
Have you seen the new Summary tab? We separate out your everyday spending (e.g. groceries) from your “committed” spending (e.g. bills). Currently only standing orders are counted as “committed”, but we’re working on getting Direct Debits and online card subscriptions in there too as we speak…
Yes. I have been using summary since monzo labs launched so I understand how spend can be categorised. It’s fine but in my case I want ring fenced joint accounts. I don’t see any reason why multiple joint accounts should not be possible…
It doesn’t seem to (mine doesn’t at least - I am an investor, but was on the early current account trial so I’ve just got a ‘normal’ card - whether the later switchers/card replacements have ‘Investor’ printed on them and that’s reflected on GooglePay I’m not sure).
It’d be fine, but if I’m quickly checking out at Tesco with a queue behind me, it wouldn’t that easy to identify which was which. As I’d have to look at the current card to see if that had joint written on it or not and then change cards.
I think a better approach would be to have something that you can on the top line, similar to Halifax here. Or even better, a completely different colour, but that’s unlikely.
I can see how it could get confusing with two very similar cards, but happy to go with this for the time being. I would hope that Monzo will look at alternatives in the future for joint accounts and leave Hot Coral for personal accounts.
My joint account card with Lloyds look exactly the same as my other account card, the only difference was the card number so I had to remember which was which haha
If they were going to be the same hot coral colour, ideally I’d like some kind of distinguishing feature at the top of the card (maybe a different edge colour??) so I can easily pick it from my (physical) wallet. Although any distinguishing feature would be good at present
I actually really like that. More visible in a physical wallet/card holder as it’s closer to the top than the joint text under the Monzo logo would be. I still feel like a different colour in addition to this would be great. A flourescent blue or green would be great. I feel like a different colour would be the most obvious.
