I wanted to suggest an improvement to how the Activity Feed displays transactions when you combine Roundups with Monzo Flex. Right now, the way it handles the math is quite confusing and makes it look like money has just vanished.
Here is what currently happens:
-
I buy something for £2.75.
-
With Roundups on, 25p goes to my coin jar, and a single £3.00 transaction appears in my activity feed.
-
Later, I decide to Flex that transaction.
-
The original £3.00 activity is completely deleted from the feed.
-
It is replaced by a Flexed amount of £2.75.
The problem is that the 25p roundup is moved to the roundup pot, but there is no clear paper trail in the activity feed explaining that. Because the original £3.00 transaction vanishes, it creates a confusing gap where you have to hunt down the roundup pot to figure out where that extra 25p went.
The fix: When we Flex a transaction, the activity feed needs to be much clearer about what happened to the rounded-up amount. Either leave the original £3.00 transaction visible but marked as ‘Flexed’, or show a clear, connected line item for the 25p transfer to the roundup pot. The roundup pot itself also needs to be a bit more visible when this happens so we aren’t left guessing where our money went.
