Which banks do merchant data well? (Or let’s say: better than Monzo)
Reading back, that part was badly phrased. I was referring to the speed and accuracy of updates - the updates I submitted at around the same time to Barclaycard seem to have been made.

Sorry, what?
Barclaycard do merchant data? Where? Since when? I’ve never seen any and I checked just now to make sure I’m not completely mad!
Now that everyone’s doing this, the proper solution would be for the payment processors to allow businesses to set their own names and logos somehow. I’d imagine that requires quite a big upgrade…

Is this because we’ve all given up? None of my recent* submissions have been corrected

I get the impression that they only look at this when there’s an event (like Year in Monzo).
I wonder, though, if we might see any movement because of Trends. If spend by merchant is going to be a thing - and they collect revenue because of it - they have an incentive to get it right. More so, when you consider they might need to rework the whole system for connected accounts…

I am awaiting 1 correction which i submitted a few weeks ago.
I contacted in app chat a few times to see if they could help and i just got the same response that it will be updated soon.

Is anyone (or a team as previously suggested) still working on these? Like most posters above, I have several that have not been corrected for months.

Think you’ve got your own answer to be fair 
it’s a very much unloved step child

I suppose they’ll have to address this as part of the paid accounts if they want to do funky stuff like top merchant spend across Monzo and connected accounts.
This would, though, mean that I’d hold them to a higher standard. If I’m paying for something I expect it to, well work.

@cookywook @jackcully - when is this going to have some time dedicated to it? We all miss when @anon41219820 was responsible for it all… things actually got updated then 
I’ve submitted around 50 updates in the last few months and not a single one has been updated
These are just since August 1st:

I have some from March that have not been changed and I submitted them loads
Is it worth submitting merchant updates now? Like others, I have suggested many updates over the past few weeks and months but none of them seem to have been reviewed and changes made?
If the resource isn’t there to change things then so be it, but perhaps the option to submit updated information should be disabled in that case until you reach a point where the submissions are actually reviewed again?
I’ve submitted 9 this year.
None have been updated.

There’s at least another 2 months yet before it becomes important again. You’ll likely see changes then.

I submitted a correction to a petrol station that comes up as Burger King. That’s quite bad, I think, and even have me an “Have I just been frauded?” moment when I first saw it in the feed before I worked it out.
That was weeks ago. Still no change.

I’m here to say that looking back over some old corrections (I mean earlier in 2021), it seems some have been updated. So
