Monzo.me question

[DanielRivers]

I am waiting for my card, but how do I KNOW that monzo.me/danielrivers points to my account?

If you’re an iOS user, you can now set your Monzo.me profile picture in the app & then make sure that they match up

New iOS Update: Upload Profile Pictures!

Alternatively, you can use the bill splitting feature to create a Monzo.me link from inside the app - which obviously creates a link for your profile.

Ah I guess because I not got my card yet I can’t see that…

This is one really confusing area for new user, the app forces to a certain part of the signup and it ‘locks’ the interface. No way to view even who logged in as.

Thanks a lot for this feedback @DanielRivers, that’s really useful

[DanielRivers]

No worries, it is a frustration not being able to see any ‘settings’ or even logout.

Ah sheet, that’s pretty cool.

Will there ever come a time when we’re able to change the URL?

[alexs]

Yes we’ll have that some point

Monzo.me

For now the link is assigned directly with your full legal name, all lowercase. First user to enable the feature gets the "clean" username, subsequent collisions are solved with a suffix number. It doesn't look awesome but it solves the problem. Once Monzo.me is working we'll surely evolve it into a traditional username model where users can define their own names, profile pictures and aliases (eg. Twitter)

I swear you’re like a god. You have everything everyone has ever said catalogued and indexed, don’t you?

[alexs]

Thanks Awn

You have everything everyone has ever said catalogued and indexed

I do have a list of quite a few of the key posts but to be honest, I’m not doing anything special here

All I’ve done is figure out how to get search working in this community for example, @hugo profile (as Hugo created the post), was what I used to find that post & I often use site:monzo.com/blog + keyword(s) to find Monzo’s overviews of a feature. If you’re looking for a comment from someone from the Monzo team but you’re not sure who’s post was most recent / relevant, you can use group:monzo + keyword(s).

Then as long as you can remember which keywords to look for & ideally, who’s post to check, it’s usually pretty quick & easy to find anything
