Introducing the new Monzo Plus

It’s a bug that they are aware off and will be fixed soon

Ah cheers, had missed that elsewhere!

I have had support confirm it’s will be in the next few days or week to fix but doesn’t cause the data to be missing

Connected accounts update two times per day I was told so for up to date you need to hit refresh

Who’s ready for the evening rush where we get to go through all of this again? :wink: :laughing:

I don’t think my brain can handle it

Custom categories and splitting transactions across multiple categories are features that have been requested for years on base Monzo - I don’t think we should have to pay for them!

I asked about this back when they first tried to re-do plus and held an event explaining the plan (and the custom monzo.me names weren’t included in that new one either). I was told you’d keep your custom one!

As ever, it’s not about what you, I or anyone else thinks. If it’s not a package that appeals to you, don’t sign up for it. I’m petty sure it will change over time and maybe something later on will be worth it.

Just because something’s been requested for a while doesn’t entitle anyone to get it for free. It also doesn’t require anyone to like that it’s not free either.

Unless it’s a free package that won’t fit what they’ve just asked for

I want everything to be free, just throwing that out there.

Well done Monzo team for getting the new Plus out. Sounds a decent set of things to use as an add on for a bank account.

My only major criticism is that open banking will be paywalled. I have Monzo in my old RBS account for free so that being gated is a shame. Makes more sense I start using RBS again to keep all my finances in one place.

I hope not as I’m above their average age too (only slightly though :stuck_out_tongue: )

The card yes, the features, no.

Not according to the T&Cs

Well you can keep the card… Whether it works or not…

Oh god I’m 41 last week :grimacing: not a young in to it thing to them I’m an old has been :grimacing: certainly monzo is for me I hate dinosaur stuff that takes forever to access or do things with

I’ve just had confirmation that Monzo don’t have any plans to get rid of their old Plus plans at the moment, but if they do they’ll give us at least 60 days notice. Fabulous! Not sure why they didn’t answer our questions earlier on this thread and just state that…

However, in case you’re ever curious, Monzo’s UI can handle all the zeros. You can thank @thomas for the proof.

Presumably because the people with the answers weren’t reading the thread. (The simplest explanation quite often applies.)

So I signed up pretty much right away today, thought I’d give some feedback:

  • sign up was super slick and polished.
  • all looks great in app
  • really hoping that the discounts change and grow over time and we get to see the Gourmet Society discounts at somepoint ( totally get why that’s not viable right now, as we are about to have most of that functionality for a month from the gov, but afterwards this sort of functionality would really make the £5 a month worth it for me long term)
  • I’m begging you to please add virgin money credit cards, please, thanks. PLEASE.
  • the card is shiny. I’m sold.
  • more than one free cash deposit would be great, but one is better than none so I’ll take it.
  • seen it mentioned above but paying my membership from a bills pot is something I’d expect to be able to do.
  • adoring being about to split transactions into several categories, my gin no longer hits my grocery budgets - I can eat … and get shamed by my gin spends.

Overall though, it’s a really slick product and a affordable price - happy to support Monzo into being profitable and sustainable with a few Benefits personally :slight_smile:
