**Issue:** On test flight payee reference now defaults to last used except if one wasn’t previously used. It uses the name you have used set up payee. **Details to reproduce:** Select a payee not previously used **OS:** iOS 11.1.4 **Device:** iPhone SE **App Version:** 2.36.0 (508) **Screenshots:** ![image](https://cdck-file-uploads-global.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/monzo/original/3X/0/a/0aa045039869e59634a33a51ce342a004715dedb.jpeg) ![image](https://cdck-file-uploads-global.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/monzo/original/3X/8/1/81296db51d487e621ee5e13439964c3970bbbd7b.png) ---

Not exactly sure how this is a bug 🤷‍♂️ ---

Yeah might not be but seems weird to pay someone with their details as reference? Or thinking about it might be so it shows in your feed that way? ---

I think it’s intended behaviour, just to have _something_ in there other than the wildly complained about ‘Sent from Monzo’ ---

Would it make more sense to default to sending account holders name? Otherwise R Hodgkinson might see R Hodgkinson on statement and have no idea what it is. I have no preference. I usually use stupid references anyway, like donuts etc. ---

The receiver will see the senders name anyway, it’s a bit of a tricky one really. ---

Ah ok. Didn’t realise. Maybe working as intended then. ---

I dont understand why Monzo are feeling the need to fill an optional field ---

If you pay your credit card or store card bill manually, this completely makes sense. It prevents you sending a payment without a reference, and saves you the bother of having to look it up as it’s already there. Edit: what happens if you have multiple references stored? ---

Nice, this is exactly how I’d want it. ---

Perfect. At least this means I won’t have to worry I’ve sent that £5 topup to Freetrade without a reference in future!
