Oh dear.
You just need to wait for committed spending pots then (make sure you vote for it) or open a second account with another bank to get your old setup back 
Or you could use this as an opportunity to rethink how you manage your finances to come to a different solution 
No. It doesnāt do exactly whatās described.
Why? Because not everyone has the same level of self-control as you. Equally it brings a level of anxiety with many āwhat if Iām shortā by a few poundsā¦ which myself and many others do not need.
Self control must play into it somewhere though. Whatās to stop you transferring money from your bills account to your spending account?
Can you not just open a Starling account for spending and set up a transfer from your Monzo to Starling each month? Then, when Monzo do introduce bills pots (or whatever the solution), you can simply stop using the Starling account. You still get notifications etc, you just donāt get that in Monzo.
I cover this scenario with the Monzo overdraft. So I put my bills in a pot and when they debit initially they use the overdraft and I then transfer the money over to cover. If I notice the transaction pending I send it then.
What would be good is IFTTT being updated to account for any transactions rather than just card payments. As then you can mark all your bills as ābillsā and then IFTTT to pull from the bills pot and debits tagged as ābillsā.
To be honest Iām surprised this hasnāt been done already as an interim to a committed spending pot. 
Ugh.
Nothing. You are factually correct.
This is more an emotional/habit tool than anything for me. As the OP has mentioned, this way the bill amounts go āaway to the place where the bills come fromā and I know that touching that at all will be ābadā. Having it all sitting in the same account (Pots or not) where itās within the same āview of my moneyā adds to the temptation.
Anyway, Iām glad self control works for you. It doesnāt for many which is why money can be such a touchy subject.
Iām very wary of arguments like this because you donāt know the circumstances behind why this may not work for someone (but in this case the OP has explained why).
You might as well question why Monzo have a gambling block, when actually āit requires a level of self controlā to solve that problem instead. (Not that Iām suggesting you are saying or would say that, but to show an analagous situation)
I think Iām particularly leery of such arguments at the moment because of the similar problems Iām having on another forum at the moment, where the software has āFreeā in the name but the default way of using it carries a charge. The number of people who staunchly defend the charge and say that I should be using my own āself controlā to avoid accidentally paying it is crazy.
Sorry - appreciate Iām probably coming across in a judgmental way but that isnāt my intention. You can see from my previous posts - when I banked with Natwest Iād rarely have a clue what my balance was and whether Iād have the money to meet my Direct Debits. Since Summary came along, I completely ignore the main account balance altogether and only look at the left to spend figure. With the new design, Iād genuinely appreciate an option to hide my account balance as it really is that irrelevant to me.
We know that separation of spending/non-spending money is something people want.
And, itās something weāre actively exploring 
Fair enough. I guess as @HoldenCarver suggests, what works for you may not ever work for others because you donāt know their circumstance (not YOU, Iām generalising).
No harm no foul, I agree there are options within Monzo that would work for some people, just they donāt work for me (which isnāt Monzoās fault!).
At the end of the day weāre all in different financial positions and manage our money differently. If there is enough demand for some functionality and Monzo are actively helping people to manage there money in a better way (even if itās something you wonāt use) then itās surely a positive all round. Ensuring Monzo becomes the bank that just works for everyone.
Really?
Committed Pots are on hold last I heard, Acc/Sort code for Pots also a no go (youād run out?), second accounts are not on a roadmapā¦
Or are they? Again, transparency in many places but hints like this are not helping.
What does āactively exploringā mean anyway? Iām actively exploring my lunch options right nowā¦
(not having a go but vagueness is frustrating).
You should work in marketing but yes, exactly this
Oh absolutely - Iād never be actively against features being introduced. If Committed Pots (or similar) were introduced Iād likely use them for that extra level of security!
Been discussed many times and will be interesting to see what options Monzo come up with.
I left some DDs with NatWest (for the rewards cashback) and the ones with Monzo come out on the day I get paid.
Like others have said, there are ways round it - it just means a bit of graft on your side to start with. But, then, think of the benefits youāre now getting with Monzo over your legacy account!
Sorry 
Iām trying to avoid making guarantees or hard statements since we donāt have timelines that we can state as of yet. But I can probably be a little less vague.
There is an internal proposal on how this would work both technically and visually. An initial proposal was put together by our Growth Engagement team (same team who are working on Get Paid Early), and feedback on the proposal was asked for, which they are now going through.
We definitely want to build this, and the proposal of how weād do it looks very promising.
While I wouldnāt say I regret going #fullmonzo I am getting closer and closer to not being full monzo and moving elsewhere not really around the issue youāre having with monzo which Iām really surprised they still havenāt developed a solution for but more the direction monzo is going in is causing me to have this outlook
This seems to represent what a lot of people have been doing down the years
For most of my life I have only had one current account and everything went in and out of it. Even with like five current accounts now (the result of some extreme FinTech curiosity in 2018) I still work much the same way. Maybe it is a bit of a mess, but I have scraped by
Always surprised by what I learn from this forum, whether it is baroque schedules for employers paying you all or coping strategies I knew nought of
If/when this comes to Monzo I will most likely press it into action to see whether it is as positive as you all seem to think it will be
I think the issue is (for me at least), things are said on the forum with the best of intentions, but it adds to the confusion and annoyance when messages are severely mixed.
Not too long ago we were told committed spending pots were being rolled out to staff, and the intention was to then move them to an actual customer release - Iām pretty sure everyone was universally happy about this.
Then it went quiet, and we are told in a passing message that all work had stopped, it wasnāt working properly and it may see some development later on (like cheque imaging may happen).
Iām sure we all completely get that not everything that is built will work seamlessly, but it seems really strange that this massive feature (and considering the amount of people who have asked for it, and the potential way it could change peopleās financial habits, it really would be one of the biggest ever Monzo features), just doesnāt seem to have any major attention anymore.
It feels like because it didnāt work in the first instance, itās been shafted for a time when someone wants to build it again.
Appreciate that staff will always have more insight into these things, but because Monzo offer a lot of information themselves, it always seems to shine a beacon on any time information is a little harder to get.
I personally feel itād be better to just not give any hints at all until something is a guaranteed cast iron release.
Cheque imagine went from coming soon to āunlikelyā.
Committed pots went from staff testing to ānot working onā
Both of those issues would probably have been fine if we, as the customers hadnāt known about it at all (or were told it wasnāt an active focus).
Just my opinion of course, Iām sure others will disagree.
Thanks for that, much appreciate the level of info.
To be honest, Iād be happy with a RAG roadmapā¦ Feature 1 - Green (being built), Feature 2 - Orange (may be next to be built, some initial design mockups done), Feature 3 - Red (not being built/on hold).
And yes, things would change on this list but weād be able to see that tooā¦ Ohhh Feature 2 is Green, Feature 1 is Orangeā¦ that sucks but ok. etc etc
