I’m not sure what the story is here? Junior folk join Monzo?

Yeah not really much of a story but it popped up in Google news, some new hires in fincrime/compliance and a new product lead.
Slow news day?

“according to posts on its community forum, Monzo staff are entitled to annual leave, with some even going as far as Cancun. The culture at Monzo also encourages staff to think bank-first even when on vacation. For example, financial crime investigators have been known to test the use of Monzo’s famous hot pink bank cards onboard flights to and from their destination”.

Forget it, Tom. It’s Brexit.
I’m sure he’ll give them loads of great battle stories!
With the Anne news, I thought this should be in the Starling thread for a second!
Oh, is she off to write another tedious book about how she was totally right and 11 people were dead wrong?
Disclaimer: I did not read her book

Meanwhile, you’re here in the Starling thread writing quote “tedious” comments, and she founded actual Starling bank.

Monzo (US) card used in Google Wallet animation update example:
tbh, that animation style would work for the Monzo app carousel too.

I just got that Google Wallet update and I don’t think I like it that much. Somehow, seems harder to swipe between cards and just seems more cluttered than before, despite most Google apps going in the opposite direction.
However, like most things, I’m sure I’ll get used to it quickly.

I don’t have an Android phone but that feels like poor UI. It’s not clear what cards there are in the wallet and in what order, so if I wanted to pay with a specific card I’d have to keep swiping

I’d happily use Samsung Wallet all of the time if it was more easily supported by other companies. That has a quick access which easily shows you every single card. Google you have to swipe through them all. I don’t understand how they haven’t changed this yet.
