👋 My son purchases college lunches, etc via his Monzo card and I pay for them when he requests the money using the split bill option. I’ve recently opened a joint account and would like to know how he can make a bill split request through to that account as opposed to my current personal account. Me as a joint account option doesn’t show up on his list? ---

You can’t do it that way. Bill splits are with people, not with accounts. Perhaps a different solution would be to give them the their weekly lunch money and have them keep it in a pot. Not ideal, but I guess it would also teach them money management a little too. ---
