Hi newbie here - what’s the best way to get involved - aside from using my new card!

Be interested to get involved in chat about new features - Be interested to understand what new additions are planned in the future - where is best to have a look on the Community?

Hiya

The making monzo section is mainly where discussions of things that are being developed and feedback happen

Brilliant - thanks - I’ll take a look

Hi,

Am Daniel some nice peeps on here I see. This is my first week on Monzo and am loving it so far.
I work in IT Java/EIS developer and have done Linux, Perl, PHP, Python as well, am 47 from New Zealand but been in UK 20+ years now. Love science, photography, astronomy, learning in general.

Came here to gripe a little about the app actually :slight_smile: while I love the speed there are a couple of issues that wind me up. One flashing when you change the amount to move between spaces. Two when you move money you have to kill the app on Android at least and relaunch it for the balances to be updated.

I’ll post questions on another forum.

Nice to meet you all feel free to say hi. Ohh financial stuff

I have an First Direct account as main account well had for 20 years good for the mortgage, F/D Gold card for internet purchases slightly questionable, MBNA card as they did cash back amazon connection, Barclays card as got largest credit limit with them. Post office as they did do competitive foreign transfers might ditch that though as it seems others are better and numerous savings account which I’ll shut down.

That’ll do

Switch to the payments tab at the bottom and switch back. Will stop you needing to kill the app on Android.

:wave: Hi! I’m Valerie. I live in the U.S. and have a friend on the Monzo team. I have masters degrees in marketing and finance. I was a commercial banker and cash management sales lady for a Chicago bank back in the 1980’s. Left that when I became a mom, and kinda got sucked into the Internet vortex in the 90’s and became an IT person. I am a social learning geek, and am deeply convinced that the humble discussion forum is one of the most powerful ways for people who can’t be in the same place and the same time to build understanding and meaning together. So OF COURSE I had to see what the “Monzo Community” is about. Finance + IT + Marketing + Online Community = Catnip

Hi my name’s Tom, started on Monzo a couple months back. Already done the full switch, doing a lot of travelling in the coming year so looking forward to seeing how the card will help me through all that :slight_smile:

Hi Tom :wave:t2:

Monzo do have limits on foreign ATM withdrawals so if you are going somewhere abroad where cash is king it may be worth grabbing another card a la Starling/ Revolut which don’t have those limits - just in case you get caught short!

There’s no real limit as such. You’ll just be charged a 3% fee if you withdraw more than £200 over 30 days. So you won’t get stuck, it just might get a bit more expensive (especially if Sterling doesn’t recover).
