Get Paid Early (Discussion)

I also got the ability to do this today for a payment due in on Monday. A whopping £66 from the government

Interesting that it isn’t limited to salary payments (otherwise sub £200 payments wouldn’t be showing) so it’s more than just getting a salary in early (which I thought was fairly useless) but for certain BACS payments, which I could totally find a use for!

It applies to any BACS payment I believe.

I also got access to this today. Yay!

Thanks for the reply! That makes sense. Though maybe the graphic only the first time or every few times might be better then?

Yes I got my deposit back from my last house I rented and got it earlier which was nice

Yet another reason to love Monzo ! :+1::+1::+1:

I got the option just now - excellent!

Well, it would be excellent if the pointless broken animation wasn’t there at the end (an iOS 13 bug I believe). It would be good to able to skip animations like that.

Needs to be fixed soon, iOS 13 is not that far away from release!

Sometime between September 10th to 20th seems like the likely release date so it should be done quickly.

Luckily I have a possessed iPhone 6, with a life of its own, which I able to activate it on instead.

Apparently you can do it if you drag the notification centre down at the same time it makes the animation work.

Yep, this or locking the phone when the money’s over the wallet.

As I said earlier a workaround/fix is coming out soon but 13 is still a moving target so there’ll be weirdness

feedback - hey just wanted to give you some feedback on your latest feature of the getting paid a day early! Great feature - but all your wording was around salary and mine was just a refund from TFL… I was confused and thought you were paying in my wage early.

It’s like a new iPhone game for me!

You have to swipe down extremely fast, repeatedly and then it works.

Spin off idea for a Monzo mobile game.

I got mine today, had to wait until 4pm then click on the shaded incoming bacs transaction. Was really quick :slight_smile:

It’s all payments that come through the BACS system.

We can probably make it clearer somewhere but for most people, the only regular BACS payment is their salary. Thanks for the feedback :grinning:

Any update on the wider rollout yet?

If you put a few comments together from across various threads, it might well be in the next day or two
