Meet the next generation: Monzo for Under 16s 🎉

[Mogolent]

Not working for me… kicked out after accepting TCs… I’m on TestFlight version…

[tobyadams (#fullmonzo joint account since Aug18)]

Worked for me too!

[glenmcfar]

We’re in. Thanks!

[ashtongatebs3]

Got all excited and signed up with my daughter’s email address rather than my son’s I don’t seem to have the ability to change it?

[mikelward]

When I try to sign up, then tap Agree, it just exits. I’m on Android.

EDIT: I see the workaround from @davidwalton. Thanks!

[jchantler (Jacob Chantler)]

Thank you! It worked when I followed these steps

[gondry (Albert)]

doesn’t work for me as well, the latest version of Android

[jchantler (Jacob Chantler)]

I’m on iOS with version 5.86.0 of the app, I’m also just getting pushed back to the Home Screen following T&C acceptance…

[Mogolent]

Thanks! Sorted

Here’s how to get it to work: DON’T tap on the notification. Instead, tap on the ‘+’ at the top-right of Home, than tap on ‘Monzo for Under 16s’ - that worked for me

Can anyone confirm how if at all this works with joint accounts? I’ve been invited to participate but myself and my wife generally don’t use personal accounts instead use a joint account for full visibility and payments. Is this for personal account linkage only? I know joint accounts are generally unloved by Monzo and miss out on tiers and other benefits that personal accounts can benefit from. Having both parents able to see and top up via linkage to a joint account would be the only workable option for us

It does not (yet, apparently).

We know this is a key requirements for parents, so we’re working on this. It won’t be available at launch as there are a couple more things for us to iron out, but we know this will be key!

[davidwalton (Award Winning Hot Coral Analyst)]

… and from what Monzo employees have posted in the thread, a ‘co-parent’ approach seems to be planned which won’t be available just to Joint account owners.

I interpret this to mean the ‘co-parent’ approach will span 2x Personal accounts, rather than a single Joint account. I can see why this is preferred though, where parents have split, etc.

[Ordog]

In what way?

To me they all look organised and clearly differentiated.

[glenmcfar]

Those account don’t NEED to be in that section. You can move them.to the Accounts widget at the bottom.

[Andyg68uk (Andy Gallagher)]

You can (if you want to) drag them into the other accounts section which is further down the page

[Andyg68uk (Andy Gallagher)]

Beat me to it

[boat]

As @glenmcfar and @Andyg68uk said, it can be moved - but, it should be moved from the start. Your child’s account should not be on the same level as yours, instead, it should be on the bottom in the other category. Not sure why Monzo hasn’t done this from the get go.
