Remember that cards are still being used, perhaps not in the volume that they used to be. But that’s for the domestic interchange which is really small (therefore probably a marginal revenue contributor). It is the overseas revenue that Monzo is particularly missing, I imagine.
I don’t recall an explicit statement, but when the pandemic first hit they strongly implied that interchange fees in the USA particularly were a very important revenue stream that had been cut to almost zero by lack of travel.
If the revenue is growing without interchange, then that’s all good, as when travel returns, they’ll be a solid jump, especially with the MasterCard increase within the European Friendship Club
Ahh jesus didnt realise this thread was full of parrots
Misread, apologies.
Major costcuts and increased revenue is good for profitability but my point still stands around chat its something i think should be improved rather than stripped to the bare minimum
I think the chat should allow everyone to leave a message at any time, even if it isn’t “open” for replies.
And @Revels is completely right that everyone should get the same service - it’s important for customer fairness, but also more practical things like support.
If I want to teach a relative how to contact Monzo via chat, for example, I would currently have to tell them to search for something like “get in touch” and tell them that, even then, they may or may not see a button. What use is that?!
