I done 5 or 6 correction submissions this year
Still waiting to be implemented
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
Last I heard, @Dan5 at the very least tries to keep fighting the good good fight here. I think it’s now a case of customer operations just updating them when they can be bothered if they ever have the time.
The best time to start reporting the merchant data seems to be around the end of the year as they start gearing up for the Monzo year in review thing, where folks at Monzo seem to go on a mad last minute sprint to get merchant data updated and fixed so their influencer friendly infographs are ready to be shared across social media with pretty merchant logos.
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 @HughWells 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.
Enriched merchant data needs to go, and nothing can change my mind
It’s easier to recognise what a transaction is for if I see the raw data (AMZNMKTPLACE) than if it came up as Ryanair (just (an equally ridiculous) example)
I’m here to say that looking back over some old corrections (I mean earlier in 2021), it seems some have been updated. So
I am afraid to say that I have been asking for nearly 3 years to have one transaction amended
Oh don’t get me wrong, this wasn’t a quick thing. Some of these I’ve been asking for more than a year. Three months is the dream.
Maybe they rejected it?
It is for a shop that I have been to consistently over the last 4 years and only this logo for this one transaction is out of sync. Weird!
Zero for me. Over 2 years. Oh well
Yep sounds weird but Monzo don’t tell you if your request has been rejected or approved or is still pending was my point.
So you could be sat there waiting for it to be updated and they’ve already decided that they’re not going to do it. There’s no communication unfortunately.
I think they should refuse to do logos and tweaks to names for things like “It says J Sainsburys but last week it said Sainsburys”
Obviously if it says the completely wrong merchant then that needs to be changed, but this would help get things fixed that need to be fixed and not worry about things that aren’t worth worrying about.
