For all we know, get paid early might be battering the Monzo servers - a new infrastructure could be planned.
I have an incoming payment due on Tuesday which has shown on my feed this morning. It still has the ‘check back at 4pm’ box, so it looks like it is still active - even when running 3.28.0
We’ll have to see once 4pm comes around I’m going to try and avoid updating before 4pm, just in case. I really need the payments I can claim at 4pm today
The cost of that must be tiny though, yes they are giving you about 12 hours interest free credit, but if you spend in card settlement is days away(so Monzo won’t have really lent anything) it’s only be cash withdrawals and faster payments which would cause Monzo to lose out
I wonder if perhaps the stats regarding payments being recalled has crept up meaning the risk to them is higher
It just occurred to me, is removing a deep link the same as removing a feature, or does it simply mean that the feature can now only be accessed through the in-app flow and not directly through the deep link?
Not sure, I mean it could be that Monzo will just pull all such payments forward without the user doing anything. So the get paid early button goes, but you’re still paid early
Super quick heads up I’m asking about the couple of changes in this weeks’ release
(Deep link removal & Intercom additions) - both confused me but I don’t believe it’s anything to read into I’ll shout in here once I’ve found out what’s what
We don’t use Intercom in the app anymore, we use Monzo chat so I’m honestly not sure why there have been changes to the Intercom strings & assets
And I don’t think we still use those deep links to trigger paid early when you press the button on an upcoming Bacs payment but both of these are unofficial until I hear back from the smart folks who made the changes in the app
