Joint Accounts 9

[augustin (Augustin Vérot)]

Being able to get 2 or more cards linked to a unique account could be very helpful.

Something that seduces me particularly is the idea of shared “virtual accounts”, so you can have a card with your flatmates for household expenses, another one with your partner for holidays, etc. etc. It’s going to be awesome

While we’re waiting, another user’s shared their work around, to replicate some of the functionality which might help?

It’s a bit of a work-around, but this system works well for us. Use case : we have a joint monthly budget for all of our discretionary spend (eating out, groceries, etc), plus our own budgets for a couple of categories (clothes, cash). We both have monzo cards and wanted to be able to track all spending to the appropriate category. Our solution: Jane’s card account has all the joint category budgets and we both have our own for the personal ones. Whenever I spend on something which should c…
