Crikey, I don’t think I’ve welcomed or re-welcomed so many posts in a new’ish thread ever - great to see so many core () peeps jumping in.
Looking forward to the engagement!

(cough, Joint accounts, cough)

Can we switch savings pots providers to new rates with the click of a button please?

Also the biggie, transfer between pots please and thanks

[davidwalton (Award Winning Hot Coral Analyst)]

@ndrw

Do Monzo even do them?

It does make you wonder nowadays…

I managed to get one early on (my ‘Welcome to your joint account’ transaction/message is dated 29-September-2018) and since then I’ve seen the Personal account rocket forward with features, meaning a huge parity difference. But, as I’ve said before, despite this - I haven’t yet found another Joint account to rival the Monzo Joint account.

Ultimately, I want a single Monzo account - a Joint Account - which is the same as a Personal account as far as available features go (and not have to have a Personal account at all)

[Phalliday (Paul Halliday)]

Great to get all those intros. As a user and investor this is a great idea. Continued development matters.

[Paulw (Paul)]

Wonderful to welcome new Monzo staff to the forum These posts are really great and spark joy. I’d love to see the Payments tab get the love it needs. There’s been loads of discussion on what that could look like over the years. Can’t wait to see how the core experience develops

Moving Pots between personal and joint account

You should be able to transfer money between your Pots between any account, personal or joint! So for example, you can transfer money from your Personal savings Pot to your Joint savings Pot, and vice versa. You won’t be able to move the actual Pot to the other account so you’ll need to create a new Pot in your joint account. [image] We’re working on scheduled and recurring account-to-account transfers so this should be available soon.   Side note: I suspect pot-to-pot transfers are …

[Revels]

Did you miss this bit?!

@giorgio

Isn’t it a pain moving money between pots

[Peter_G]

I didn’t! Partly because it’s already rolled out and working for the US…

I’m just trying to work out where in the UI that screen is.

[Revels]

I think it’s here and you can alter the destination

[Revels]

I can’t reveal my editing skills!

The tales from @N26throwaway about how you can reveal numbers “hidden” under scribble make me want to do it another way.

[Peter_G]

I still worry that there might be a Jackjunction coming at some point.

[Sarah-Bee (Sarah B)]

Hi all

I am Sarah the QA engineer (tester) for Core Experience and a few other squads at Monzo. You might have seen some messages from me before.

You’re in great hands with the team, please share any feedback, the more detail the better, quick wins as well as big bugbears.

[Peter_G]

@Sarah-Bee

please share any feedback

Brace yourselves everyone, I’m brewing up a megapost. I’m sorry in advance.

In the meantime, this is old and some comments haven’t stood the test of time but there’s still much goodness in it:

Polishing Monzo - a little list?

Previously, on the Monzo Community… So, if Monzo were to be working on a big small list of little stuff to make existing features even better, what would we want on it? Go!

[kolok]

Great to know you all, now we know who to tag

I second merchant data, i’d really like to see some kind of trust access so once a contributor has had a few approved submissions their corrections automatically get approved.

[berth (Bert)]

What a great team to have!
Keeping a focus on core experiences is a tricky but very worthwhile thing to do, in my opinion.

[Chapuys (Kevyn)]

Feel like Monzo have been a sleeping giant whose just woken up! I can’t wait to see what changes/improvements come to the Core Experience. Hi everyone from the new team!

[Peter_G]

Before I get into my megapost (), I thought it worthwhile to say that a big part of this could helpfully be looking at the joins between different teams’ work in the app and making sure that things are as integrated and magical as they could be.

In linked posts, I’ve talked about Get Paid Early not playing nicely with Summary/Trends. It’s an old example but a good one where it feels like we can see the joins.

Another example would be working out how to really push Monzo to be imaginative and integrate features to deliver what no one but Monzo can. My recent post below is a good example: what would need to be true to have this level of innovation and join up across different areas of the app?

Introducing Monzo Flex – a better way to pay later

Here’s a little bit of Monzo Magic that would make the Flex repayment super special. At the moment, the notes field has the name of the merchant you’re repaying, but with “and N more” if there are more than two. Instead of (or as well as) that, how about using the receipts API so that you could tap and see a breakdown of everything that you’re paying for, merchant and repaid value? Effectively that month’s Flex statement digitally in the app. And, taking that one step further, how about a lin…
