Help us test physical Flex cards 👀

It’s not a bill purely because it’s unlikely you’ve ever fully used every aspect it pays for and it’s not linked to your usage of the things it pays for. It’s a tax on the value of your home.

I can see how it might look like a “bill” but it would be no different to general taxation if you had a breakdown of where the funds were going (they used to do this I’m sure).

My London Borough sends a breakdown every year with the bill.

My council tax is, but general taxation used to have something sent to people each year showing where their taxes went.

That’s been sent with every tax summary I’ve received, and is on the GOV.UK website and linked–through from HMRC app. In fact I was looking at that through the app the other day.

and anyway, HMRC really don’t want you to pay your tax via card, it’s an option they are going to bury away

Not true still a valid and accepted payment method

As I said, they don’t want you to as it costs them a fortune; and they bury it in the payment types, what I didn’t say was they refuse to take them.

That is fair enough but they must accept them under the governments payments strategy

Does Flex appear as a separate credit agreement ( with its own credit agreement limit) on credit reports? i.e in addition to the Monzo bank account and bank account limit

Your bank account and overdraft limit are as one entry.

Your flex is another entry, own limit visible, usage, payments etc

It appears as a hard search on credit reports when you first apply-and-get-approval - at least it did for me:

Subsequent credit level changes are reported as soft searches.

Yes - shown as “revolving credit”.

Thanks to everyone that’s volunteered to test the physical cards :pray:

We’re starting to activate the physical card feature on your accounts now! Roll out might take a little while, but we’re aiming to get it all done today :tada:

We’ll send an email to the email address linked to your Monzo account when you can head into the app to order the card.

As it’s Valentine’s Day, we’re sharing a bit more love too :two_hearts:

For anyone that isn’t already in the ‘Pay in Full’ trial, we’re activating that at the same time so you’ll have both features. It might make things a little odd when you open the app as you’ll get both feature announcement notifications, but hopefully worth it for the double early access to new features!

As always, please share your feedback. We’d like to hear how you find the whole process, from card ordering to activating and using it in the wild.
