The August monthly update seemed to suggest that Joint Accounts will leave labs this month - so presumably cards and CASS will be ready at this point.
Probably not Joint pots yet though.

Iām thinking a lot of work for joint pots and shared pots may be developed alongside each other as the requirements underneath may be similar?

Yeah I have a Monzo current account and want to switch everything over to my joint account as I want to use it as my primary account. Want to know if there is a seamless way of doing this.
Not to my knowledge. You would need to transfer any DDs etc manually.
Shame. Youād think they would have come up with a seamless option to do stuff like this as they are both Monzo accounts.
How many DDās do you have?
I recently transferred 15 across manually, and it was actually very painless.
Took an hour or so, but I also managed to change all the dates as well!

Could I suggest that when you categorise a transfer made to a joint account, that it is categorised as the same at the other end? Saves us having to categorise a transaction twiceā¦ eg if I send money to my joint account towards groceries, it should act as a credit towards our groceries within the joint account.

Has anyone successfully used the partial switch service for a Joint Account as yet?
I initiated one last Thursday which was rejected on Friday due to not providing card details (I did). I re-attempted on Friday but havenāt had a response yet - just shows as pending.
Aware this isnāt officially supported, but given positive feedback from several on here it seemed OK to progress.
Think theyāve all been full switches. Partial switch is very unreliable and has no time scale for completion
You can switch sole account to joint but you canāt do joint to sole.

Yeah thatās probably what Iāll end up having to do. A lot of ringing around and waiting on holdā¦
I did a partial switch. It took a few days but was then presented with a list of my direct debits to choose from. Have had no issues so far.

Interesting discussion here on the Starling forum.
Having a response from Monzo on how theyād deal with this would be good.

Lol, I had one back in October last year. I preferred Monzo. Closed it via CASS for a signup incentive with First Direct 
.
I havenāt joined their forum as I probably spend too much time on here and also I donāt have their product 
Edit:
Oh and Iām on their blacklist for a year as you canāt re open an account within 12 months. Not that Iām planning to anyway.

There are certainly a huge amount of crossover discussions - Especially on generic banking issues.
Itās really interesting to get a view point from both sets of customers.

Interesting, havenāt seen it mentioned anywhere but itās very much an edge case.
Iād imagine the options would be to ask you to move the money from the joint to close it. If you didnāt I suppose they could refund the money 50/50 into the sole accounts or freeze it like they do if thereās a dispute between both parties about funds on closing.
Would like to know the real answer though

Maybe Iāve misunderstood your post - But the chap was asking about closing his personal account, after opening a joint with his wife.
Iām sure Monzo have said that isnāt possible?
Sorry, watching Green Lantern at the same time 
The joint account would automatically close on receipt of CASS request was what I was inelegantly saying.
Biggest question is why not leave it open with nothing in it rather than closing it?

Haha! Ok, I see what you are saying 
Is that the policy for Monzo currently?
