Launching Pots

Thats coz we all know that the TCB likes to ‘borrow’ from Monzo :upside_down_face:

Yes - I believe it’s next week at least. Hopefully then we can move on to the really interesting stuff!

Loving the new Pots feature in the CA. It would be great if you could re-order the pot cards on the account screen. Maybe in a future update?..

Also, a further Pot idea. I would love to be able to “enter” a pot and being able to see what exactly was deposited/withdrawal for the period/since it was created?
Because as of now, we can see the deposits/withdraws in our main page, however, it will become complicated to see exactly what has been deposited/withdrawal in a few months time?

Anyone know when Pots will reach Android? Any chance it’s today?

I’d say there’s a very good chance it’s today but I don’t think we’ve seen an actual, published date to confirm that.

I’m constantly in the Play Store looking for updates, so if pots do appear today I’ll definitely try getting the first post in haha! :wink:

Can’t wait for them! It’s going to be such a handy feature for allocating funds :grinning:

I would hasitate to say today. Beta App has not received any update usually Beta gets an update few days before the non-beta version.

I think the beta gets patches 1 week before, and experimental brach features through the hidden development menu. It doesn’t receive every update before the release channel, hence why I’m asking :slight_smile:

On the iOS side, TestFlight got pots over the weekend with the main release on Monday (I think). So if you want to take that as a model then I agree it looks a little more unlikely.

…and here is your confirmation, I’m afraid.

Shame, but when you’re dealing with people’s money - better to get it right.

I loved the monzo.me payment function on the prepaid card. Could you introduce monzo.me payments direct to a pot. I am getting married in a few months and have asked for money towards our honeymoon for our wedding gift, it would be great if I could use a URL to add to our wedding website that would allow people to put money directly into the pot I have created for the honeymoon fund.

For now, you could set up the Monzo.me link to use “Honeymoon Fund :honey_pot::full_moon:” as the description. Then search for this string in your main transaction feed, and you’ll get a total amount for all transactions with this string that you can transfer into the Pot.

At the moment, you can’t go ‘into’ a pot to see transactions against it, with I think will be necessary before we can transfer directly into pots.

Is it just me getting frustrated swiping through 10 pots to get to the 11th that I want to transfer in/out of? :man_shrugging:t2:

Call me old fashioned but I would really like a list view with the ability to reorder :joy:

You, sir, are old fashioned!

Back in the late 1990s, web developers discovered sideways scrolling was not a great idea. It’s as though that collective experience has been lost :roll_eyes:

I am on Android, so none yet, however, I would be seeking one for each of my children for Birthdays, then Christmas, Car Insurance, House Insurance, House Maintenance, iPad Pro (my personal wishlist lol), Boiler Maintenance, PiggyBank (what some may class as Rainy Day, and then leave my personal spending funds in the main account.

So, I too, would have many, that are currently monitored using a Financial Program and held in one account with Tesco at 1.16% (Life changing interest . . . NOT!)

I have Goals with Starling at the moment for some of these, as a trial.

Not decided on one bank or the other yet. Too early, in my mind.

Now the amounts are custom it’s great. I really like the concept of splitting up funds into pots. Though currently I am only using it for manual payments due to no automation or overdraft. Once they are in place I will be splitting it further to include bills, transport, insurances etc.

Yawn… Still waiting for the Android version :wink:
