Introducing Monzo Flex – a better way to pay later 🚀

Nope. I “added to basket” a couple of things from two different sellers, and then saw and paid for it as one order and one payment. My experience was more like a single shop or Amazon, so I didn’t really have the individual item prices in my head, but rather the total price paid.

Was just reading some Flex help guides, because what else is there to do as this time of a morning :eyes:

When clicking the link within this article it jumps out of the app into my browser. I’d expect clicking on a help link within a help article to keep me in the app.

do we know when the flex physical card will be available for all customers?

We don’t

I think some strings were found in an app teardown that gave away that it’s at least being staff-tested.

I think it’s informed speculation:

Yeah I think I would prefer it to be spread it over all the payments too

Also FCA guidance. One should pay off what will be due first. Imagine you fail to make a monthly payment that was 100, reduced to 50 due to “split even into the future”. Now you will be charged interest on them. However you then go back and say but I did pay 150 in advance that is more than the 100 min required.

It’s a contingency to down pay things in order they will be due.

As an alternative, move money to a pot, and change flex to be paid from it.

Surely what is due first is the next payment… not the last one.

Maybe it’s too early but I can’t make sense of the post :grimacing:

If we’re in the dark, is there a way you could help us out? :eyes:

I think you know the answer to that… nope

I had something odd happen when I opened the app yesterday, and it hasn’t happened since. Animated wavy lines (you can’t see the animation on the screenshot obviously) dancing all over the screen, which disappeared when I exited that particular screen.

Don’t know if it was just my phone going momentarily nuts or some weird flex related advertising thing I shouldn’t have seen.

Getting warmer, I suspect.

No that options only available with a flex plus subscription of £7.50 a month, free users just get a plain non glow card.

Just paid extra into the flex account, wanted to see reduced monthly payments. Sadly they don’t have this option which is very odd considering they’re all about helping people budget.

Please Monzo. If we pay extra into the flex account, allow us to reduce the monthly payments equally.

You can sort of do it yourself.

Lets say you owe £150 and want to pay off £50 today but not the next payment, you want to reduce the next three down to £33/£34

Create a Flex pot
Set payment to be taken from pot
Add £50 - Balance £50
Then the next payment you add £33 - Balance £83
£50 will get taken - Balance £33
Then add £33 - Balance £66
£50 will get taken - Balance £16
Then add £34 - Balance £50
£50 will get taken - Balance £0

And you’re back to zero and all paid off and reduced the monthly.
