Erm you’re late to the party, did your not function today
One mention of Monzo here, I suspect for the clicks as there was no real need to identify the bank who wouldn’t open an account because the customer had ended up on a fraud blacklist.
Even so, it’s a fascinating example which expresses his terrifyingly easy it is for people to be made into money mules. All it can take is going a favour for the wrong friend
It’s interesting, other banks are mentioned throughout, and so I don’t see it as a huge problem.
What’s scary is that these things are advertised on Snapchat and Instagram. I’ve seen the adverts, and they offer an easy way to get £500 or so a month, with a "Monese’ account etc.
There are a lot of people who through the FOMO forces of social media will be easily duped into these things to try to buy trendy stuff, look cool etc. So I fear this is only going to get worse.
Schools need better financial education in the run up to people leaving school etc.
Any ideas?
Dark mode
It probably isn’t but I might as well be the first to say it
New pulse graph.
Also probably not but wanted to be the first to say it. I’m also, just getting the latest app update so get ready for a teardown, maybe there will be a hint in there
Not a scooby!
Hopefully something else, dark mode is meh.
Teardown done
Hang your head in shame
Direct debits / standing orders direct from pots.
There’s a new feature flag in 4.3.0 - “mastercard_auth_transaction_receipts” value=“false”
So if this is set to ‘true’ (next week?) - does that mean full receipts in-app? Like Flux but baked into the app via the Mastercard transactions themselves?
Do MasterCard get sent that data though all they’ll see is request for payment coming through. Not sure anyone’s tills are configured to send that low level data in the transaction request.
I don’t think it will be itemised receipts either, as mentioned I don’t think they sent that data.
More likely detailed info on the transaction itself.
Things like terminal type, software version, request amount, auth amount, contactless or PIN payment etc
Would love to be wrong though!
Uh oh…
No! Just you stop it
It’s not big and it’s not clever
I didn’t do anything!
And so it begins…
