Is it the case they now meet it? It was meant to be July last year originally I think.
I donāt know if itās still the case but it was only the top five banks that had to do it, the others were just if they could.
Barclays
RBS Group (RBS/NatWest/Ulster/Coutts)
Lloyds Group (Lloyds/Halifax)
Santander Group (Santander/Cater Allen)
HSBC (First Direct)
and
Nationwide building society
Positive clickbait 
Thats risky play by Marianna Hunt, isnāt that a sackable offence being positive about a fintech in the Torygraph.
Other providers have previously provided access to credit scores for their customers - so Monzo isnāt the first to think of this by a long way.
Though, I believe most, if not all, have discontinued it since there are now so many free services offering the same thing.
Barclaycard used to show Experianās score but it literally was just their dial with the number so totally pointless.
Not for free. Monzo are the first to do that. Source article got it wrong! Tsk. Never trust a journalist, eh?
Barclays didnāt charge customers for access to Experian credit score. It was free. 
In their communications when they discontinued it in October 2019 they said it was due to new services being available elsewhere. Not a core business for them, I suspect.
Very odd as RBS have been rolling this out credit score in app across its brands for several weeks now!
Ceases to be thrilling when fusty old RBS are doing it, doesnāt it?
Capital One used to give Equifax credit reports (not just scores) to their customers for free as far back as 2008.
Hopefully this will tie in with the original marketplace plans which appear to have been on the back burner for ages.
More of a threat to clearscore and credit karma than Experian.
Certainly not anything new but unlike barclaycard, capital one or rbs you can be sure that this is just clearing the ground for something to be built on top, rather than just a button you click which says āyour score is 456, check back in 60 days to see your new scoreāā¦ at least I hope not! 
Weāve had this in the planning for a long time 
Indeed you have as evidenced ages ago in the Android tear downs
Haha - I tend to avoid the Android tear downs thread. Avoids me sticking my foot in it 
āNewer app-based banks like Monzo and Starling have also sprung-up, and now boast over four million customers between themā 
Technically thatās a true statement, but you could take the million word out and it would still be a true statement. Iāve seen worse articles thought where itās clear they spent no time checking and copy+paste stats from an older article.
, and now boast over four customers between them
Looks like next Weds Monzo will hit 4m.
Starling got 1m āaccountsā back in Nov. Probably a few less customers if they are counting euro/business in that.

Has anyone seen this article?
Quite an interesting read and one of the better written pieces Iāve seen in the press.
Can you split off the blacklist discussion into a separate topic please.
This one is for Monzo in the Media.
