The Spanish flag itself is also a big topic of controversy. Our current flag derives from Francoist Spainâs flag. After 40 years of hardcore nationalism, being proud of your country and waving flags is something that doesnât just happen (Germans might understand this). The Spanish flag reminds many people of the fascist dictatorship and therefore the only people waving it proudly are usually right-wingers. Of course this âtabooâ only applies to everyday life, waving the flag during international football matches and such are different things entirely.
I liked the idea but after hearing about the many political & other issues around it (its been interesting to learn) I think itâs best not, unless it came be implemented in a way mentioned above using MasterCard.
Why is this feature actually needed though? Are the vast amount of current Monzo users actually using card in a range of countries enough to make it worth dedicating development time to an icon?
Iâd just rather they make transaction information better.
That could mess up the transaction list. Iâve always found it very clear because it shows the cost of the transaction in that countryâs currency. So itâs easy to see which transactions have been made in which countries.
Haha, that is true. We just need to be careful about not making the transaction list messy. Itâs already possibly going to have a bit more detail on each transaction when they get rid of the redundant Coin Jar notifications (although those mockups looked great). I guess for an intrusive feature like this (flags would be intrusive, to me), it might be useful if those of us who have no need for it could turn it off. After all, one can search their transaction list for location if theyâd like to see all the transactions in a particular country.
