Introduce yourself šŸ‘‹

Have Monzo created community accounts yet?

Huh? :confused:

No.

Hi, I’ve been with Monzo for a few years and have a Flex account with a few savings pots. Why did I have to find out on Threads about the new 1p Challenge?
I also didn’t know about this forum until this morning.
Have you considered sending your customers emails about what’s going on?

Hi. And welcome.

I’ve no idea. There is an advert at the top of the homepage in the app for me.

Yeah. I only found it when they sent me an email telling me that my terms and conditions were changing and that forum members had voted on the change.

What are your marketing preferences?

Monzo do send emails about things from time to time, but not everything. That would be excessive!

Just new initiatives such as this one. There’s no need to get shirty with me! Your response was hardly welcoming.

Not on mine. I would have expected to see it at the top of the app.

@Revels style is curt and to the point, I find.

I also find that it’s best from my perspective to not read tone into text - you never know what’s going on the other side of the keyboard.

It’s still there on mine. Maybe you dismissed it some time ago?

My apologies, that was not my intention at all.

Monzo do email about new features, Flex for example got a launch. But this I would say is more of a niche feature, so probably not something they are going to email everyone about.

Do you have ā€œPersonalised Marketingā€ ticked on?

Or in Notifications just below, do you have ā€œNews and updatesā€ ticked on?

Yes, I do - both. I have a Flex account.

No. I would have been very interested in it. Never mind - I’m doing it now and will look out for it next year too.

You can still join. It’s there in the app somewhere, Savings perhaps? Can’t remember now exactly but it’s discussed in the relevant topic.

I understand you can commence the 1p challenge up to 31.1.2025. My only annoyance is agreeing the amounts in my accounting package without having to enter it every day. I’ve found a work round so that should work hopefully. :man_shrugging:t3:

Hello everyone! :wave: :wave:

I’m Dean, and I am a online shopper. I’m excited to be here on the Monzo forum! I recently signed up for Monzo’s perks current account today and am eagerly awaiting its arrival. This month, I plan to set up my savings pots and ISAs.

After more than a decade with Nationwide, I decided it was time for a change. With their rates dropping and a recommendation from my best friend and watching your advertisements too, I believe Monzo will be a better fit for me. I’m looking forward to transferring my entire account to Monzo this year and enjoying the perks, especially those related to outings like cinema trips! :cinema: :grinning:

I can’t wait to engage with all of you and share experiences in the days and weeks ahead.

Thank you for the welcome @_Tom.

Monzo is great fun, and a great bank.

I think I’m an online shopper too. My granny wasn’t.

Sounds great @anon90289270 and it depends on which version of the word ā€œonline shopperā€ you mean?
