Help Us Improve Shared Tabs

Great to see Shared Tabs getting some work.
I really think there’s a lot of potential here now that Splitwise limits the number of transactions you can add per day unless you pay for Splitwise Pro. Essentially, I’d love for Shared Tabs to have all the features of Splitwise but also leverage the fact that Monzo is an actual bank.

Off the top of my head, I think adding these features would massively improve the Shared Tabs experience:

  • Partially settle a shared tab.

  • Being able to add a note/description of what the transaction is for when adding an item to a shared tab and being able to add a receipt/share a receipt added to your transaction.
    I find people tend to forget what each item is for, especially when the merchant’s name isn’t particularly recognisable (e.g., when on holiday).

  • Calculate splits in local currency.
    This way you don’t have to figure out the split in € and then manually convert each person’s € amount into £ to do the split.
    The issue of transactions needing time to settle would need to be overcome.. Ideally, the Shared Tab transaction would automatically update to the relevant amounts once the transaction has settled and the transaction rate has finalised.

  • Different options when dividing up a shared tab item (percentages, shares, adjustment - basically what Splitwise has).

  • Marking that a shared tab has been settled (or partially settled) without having to pay using Monzo (e.g., if someone settled up using cash or someone was paid not via Monzo).

  • Add a custom bill in a different currency.
    If someone pays a bill in local currency cash, then it would be great to be able to add, for example, 50€ to the shared tab, split that bill with the Shared Tab members in € then have the transaction convert into £ once it’s been added to the Shared Tab; this way you don’t have to figure out the split in € and then manually convert each person’s € amount into £ to do the split.

  • Ability to remove yourself from a custom Shared Tab transaction.

  • Ability to add a custom Shared Tab transaction paid for by someone else.
    Sometimes it’s easier to just add that you owe someone else money to a Tab yourself instead of getting them to do it.

  • Ability to click into a transaction and see how a split was made.

  • Ability to adjust splits that you’re a part of.
