If this has been discussed many times before, please direct me to the correct place (or close this), but I did search and didn’t find anything specifically related to this.

This has been mentioned before but that’s no problem Monzo are working on a solution -

@tomsr

It doesn’t reduce my total spent to show the £10 I’ve received. On a side note, I can’t categorise those incomes.

Incoming payment categorisation

Yeah, that’s something we need to fix too. We’re about to start working on money requests and bill splitting so we’ll add this to the list. Thanks!

AFAIK, the only workaround to deal with this now, is the increase the Category’s Target by the amount that was repaid, to cancel out the debit. You don’t need to increase your Total Monthly Target, as the repayment is picked up by that. Obviously updating the category’s Target is a pain, especially if you need to do that quite often but it would enable your Target’s alerts & performance against target tracking to work as expected.
