Improving Budgeting (Summary) and the Payments Tab!

[Peter_G]

I’m coming back to this thread as we’ve now had confirmation that the Core Platform team is now actively working on budgeting

@bruno

Longer term, we now started working on proper budgeting and will have things to share early next year, so don’t expect it arriving to your apps anytime soon. This isn’t a generic “soon” update: we are now working on budgeting in Product Platform as our main priority, just that we don’t have specific details to update you on.

I’ve been thinking about this a bit, and I have a couple of reflections:

• The focus on budgeting is interesting. For me, I’m more drawn to clear analysis / infographics on where my money has gone (the past) rather than planning for the future (budgeting). Maybe there are two things to pick apart here?
• I’m interested to see how this can lay the groundwork for a more than a Monzo current account solution. If Monzo is serious about being a financial platform (and that seemed to be a big driver behind the new look), then I’d be keen to see how budgeting might work across accounts (taking in, for example, credit card payments elsewhere).
