Is Monzo requiring access to contacts for joint account opening / Monzo.me necessary & secure?

Also the fact that your contacts might not consent to their information being shared. It’s up to you if you want to accept a privacy policy, but have you ever asked your contacts before pressing allow on that contacts access permission prompt?

This is an interesting one.
Most of my contacts share my details with Facebook, even though I have never consented to it, nor am I on Facebook.

That’s a fair point, during the Facebook Cambridge Analytica scandal many had their info compromised even though they had never used it- because their friends had.

If access to all contacts is needed during the sign-up process then perhaps this can be adjusted for when Joint Accounts leave the labs for people who aren’t comfortable with this.
