Hey everyone!
I’m Matt, an iOS engineer here at Monzo, and I’m really excited to tell you about a feature that makes managing your money even faster - Shortcuts integration for Monzo!
What’s new?
We’ve added native Shortcuts support to the Monzo app. This means you can access your most common money tasks as iOS shortcuts that open directly to the relevant parts of the app, available in the Shortcuts app and Spotlight search.
You can now quickly:
- Pay - Jump straight to sending money to someone
- Request - Start a money request in just a tap
- Move - Move money between your accounts
How to use it
From Spotlight: Just swipe down on your iOS home screen and search for “Monzo” you’ll see Monzo shortcuts appear as App Actions you can tap to jump straight in.
From the Shortcuts app: Find our shortcuts under the Monzo section. From there you can:
- Add them to your device’s Home Screen as quick-launch icons
- Include them in your own custom automations
If you have multiple accounts (like a personal, joint or business account), you’ll be asked which one you’d like to use - then you’re taken straight to the right screen.
Bonus: These shortcuts also work with Siri! Just say things like “Monzo transfer money” or “Monzo move money” if you prefer using your voice.
We’d love your feedback!
If you already have app version 7.10.0, you’ll have access to this feature. We’d love to hear how you find it:
- Are there other actions you’d love to see as shortcuts?
- How are you using them?
- Any issues or rough edges?
Drop your thoughts in this thread - your feedback helps us make these features even better!
