Imagine if people got this excited about Lloyds or Barclays branding.
Was this always part of the plan, or has this been surprising to Mondo staff?

Am I right in thinking you donât get an email when you sign up to attend?
@tomsr Very Very good questionâŚI think as a âmillennialâ(just about in that age bracket) things are reverting back to how it was when being loyal actually meant something and :mondo: has encapsulated (as you can tell my favorite word today) the feel of being part something bigger, you can feel it by being on this forum or talking to the support team and how quickly they get back to you.
For me a big thing is connecting with your consumers, banks like Lloydâs and Barclays pay marketing analysis companies big money to tell them what the consumer wants. for instance the blue rewards stunt 
The best way to do this is just ask people what they want from the companies product, not a 3rd party data gatherer.
Being able to see though marketing is a gift of the technologically inclined as we look to user reviews and word of mouth to make a decision. not what a company tells us.
The fantastic thing about :mondo: is that that its open, I mean everything is open (even how the bank makes money). yes of course there are some inner workings that are kept but only for security reasons, name me another company which is so transparent (not the ones that say it but donât actually show anything).
For me I love to know how things work and for my bank to help me to be financially smarter without me having to tell them that thatâs what they should be doing as a place that holds my money.
For the people here (like if you agree) i donât think :mondo: has to pay anyone to advertise why they are good, if ppl have great experiences with something they will always look for someone to tell. As you wonât just get users, you get followers and there is a difference between the two;
user
noun
plural noun: users
1.
a person who uses or operates something.
âthe user should press return and a message will be displayedâ
&
follower
noun
plural noun: followers
1.
a person who supports and admires a particular person or set of ideas.
When a Company becomes âA Brandâ it has followers and In this age, a Bank that deals with something as vital as holding peoples incomes you need followers as they are more loyal than users (i.e I occasionally have to use Barclays - donât like them - my wife was with them so i changed my bank as to send payments easily between us and to have a joint account) as they are sharers in your company vision.
That for me is the beauty of :mondo:

Does that mean that you will have to issue new cards to everyone?
Nope. But any new cards will likely have tge new name.
New cards should get the new branding. Existing cards wonât be replaced until current accounts launch early 2017 (minus lost/stolen/broken card replacements of course).
I just signed up via email and never received the confirmation email either. Is there a way someone can confirm if I have a ticket or not?
Thanks
Sure thing - Iâll be emailing all attendees this morning

Shame. Iâd have loved to come but am testing my Mondo in Greece all this week. Canât wait to see the new name!
Any update on when youâll be a fully fledged bank? Excited for the day.
With the euro and pound 1-1 at many (extortionate) ATMs, my non-charging Mondo card is proving a blessing.

Check this post from the blog. Gives a good overview of whatâs happening along those lines.

To answer the question specifically though:
weâre currently aiming to launch a full current account in Q1 or Q2 of 2017.
Got my confirmation, thanks @bailey. See you all there!

Any chance of another ticket? I also realised I work literally a minute away in the AlphaBeta building.
