Monzo for Android - Teardowns & Deep Dives 👨‍💻

The text suggests it’s between personal / joint accounts I think.

That’s a really great feature if it’s between joint Monzo account and personal Monzo account.

Hopefully the same functionality will be available for Standing Orders too.

Still can’t edit scheduled pot moves :neutral_face:

I guess it would be nice from an ease point of view but unlike a Direct Debit, a Standing Order is something you have complete control over (in terms of moving it about or editing it) :slight_smile:

All you’d need to do is cancel it and set it up from the Joint Account in the meantime :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

A button would be nice in the long term though :tada:

It’s similar to having a “Retry standing order” feed item, you could look up the sort code, account number, amount and reference then send a bank transfer yourself, but it’s a much nicer UX to just click the feed item then click “Retry standing order” (or “Retry payment”).

More to come :eyes:

So how do you get to the energy comparison page? Or is this a deep link you’re using?

1 Like

Octopus unfortunately don’t supply to Northern Ireland.
And business accounts arent something ill need anytime soon.

Dare I say it im feeling a little sad and selfish with the latest developments not being available for me :laughing:

Deep link :slight_smile:

You can’t click them from inside discourse (sadly :frowning:) but it’s monzo://energy_quote :slight_smile:

When you go on the link, you get this "We’ve got your back. In the future you won’t need to shop around for a competitive energy tariff. We’ll make sure you’ve always got a great deal with Monzo’. So i’m presuming they’re planning on getting others signed up pretty quickly

personalised_card_order_manufacturer_idemia

:drooling_face: Personalised cards.

FWIW - all monzo cards are considered “personalised” (e.g. embossed with your name). We’re adding a new manufacturer soon and this feature flag isn’t intended to control any new app behaviour.

Interesting stuff! :eyes:

I instantly assumed it would have something to do with colour selection or something crazy like that :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Booo. That’s less exciting. :sob:

This feature flag controls something my team has been working on for the last couple of months. It controls if your card orders are sent to a particular manufacturer. In this case, IDEMIA!

For some background, due to our growth and some future project demands, we’re adding another card manufacturer to our supplier pool.

When you order a card, it’s put in a queue of card orders, batched up, and sent out to manufacturers at multiple points in the day. This is how we get such quick dispatch times. :boom:

If all goes well, you shouldn’t notice a single thing. The cards look and act exactly the same as recent cards from our other suppliers, though they are all coral core and have the smaller chip contacts.

The only new user-facing feature we’ve added is that if you’re getting a card sent abroad, you’ll now receive the tracking number as a feed item, rather than having to go through support and ask for it. :post_office:

That’s pretty cool … if you need an independent judge of the new provider vs old cards, more than happy to help :eyes:

Is this also the case if you get a card sent by recorded delivery in the UK?

I wonder what effect Smart Meters will have on energy supplier switching in the near future, especially since every home in Britain should have been offered one by the end of this year.

If Monzo somehow link up to Smart Meters and get usage data, then I imagine they could build up a profile for a customer to accurately predict their energy usage (similar to how they build profiles to predict unusual transactions). Then they could suggest potential switches to the customer based on the data.
