Monzo Labs: Connected Credit Cards

Any update for when more cards will be added?

From a few posts up:

My halifax card is connected via screen scraping and via open banking APIs. As mentioned by others the open banking card does not show the credit limit ಠ_ಠ

In addition it shows my credit balance as a positive number whereas the screenscraped data shows it as negative…

So we’ve passed the deadline - any news on what providers did or didn’t make the cut in time?

None I have heard, but I am sure every provider was “ready” just in time

That does not mean all of them (or any of them!) provided a decent sandpit for testing or that they have accepted anyone else to use them, the latter being the seeming refuge of the Open Banking scoundrel thus far :unamused:

Just added a NatWest credit card and can also confirm that the app crashes every time I try to open the credit card from the list menu layout

Latest TestFlight 2.65.0 (563)

Should the credit limit be showing or not?

Let hope Monzo are quick to react

I suspect the switch to Open Banking has revealed more issues than expected - and not just for Monzo.
It’ll work out I’m sure but ‘when’ is a difficult one as it may be 2, or more, parties working together to fix problems.

Hey @anon41842569 - any update on how the API deadline went and what’s happening next?

Hey @robboadam - It’s a mixed bag.
Many banks haven’t provided APIs for their credit cards yet.
For some of those that did, their APIs aren’t performing very reliably, with irregular and lengthy downtime.

Because of this we’ve gone from supporting about 10 credit card providers to about 5, and are waiting for the dust to settle and performance to improve. In good news, we’ve started testing MBNA internally as they’ve now provided an API. Fingers crossed it works well!

Hope this helps :bowing_man:

Cheers! Thanks for the update :slight_smile:

I miss seeing my Barclaycard in the Monzo app :cry:

I hope so too for Amex. I'm also waiting for Vanquis as they are ready also.

So much better now Truelayer aren’t trying to do this themselves :smiley: Nationwide app native integration is great but they’re not letting me pick my CC - going to contact them about it. Seems like the previous issue was Nationwide failing after successful authentication, and Truelayer not handling that.

Excellent news, thanks for the update.

Anyone having problems with Halifax cards? Seems to constantly disconnect and now the Halifax end just says they’re having technical issues. :frowning:

Did AQUA CREDIT CARD provided their APIs

Mine is the same

It would be amazing if the CC integrated for Barclaycard and AMEX was reinstated. This article mentions about waiting on an API release from AMEX (in their case) for September. Which has been and gone. Would be great to get an update on this.

Hi @anon41842569! Is there a list of banks you are working on, or are waiting for? Most interested in Virgin…thanks!
