This is great! Could open so many possibilities because of the ease of use of the link.

This isn’t so easy for me 
Already double checked it’s definitely enabled. Simon from support team said my account looks fine.
So you’ve confirmed that you’re using the same legal name, as Monzo have for your account? 
Ah I was reading that as point of sale.

Same as on my profile page in the app and monzo.me/benjamingreen returns a username not recognised error

That’s what I’m using too 
I’m seeing this error message using your URL though.
So I know you said you checked on this but:
- Has your account been verified?
- When you go to
Card > Profileis Monzo Payments with Friends switched on?

Just tried it. First time it seemed to say my username couldn’t be found. But maybe I mistyped it. Because now it works perfectly. What an amazing feature. So well designed! As expected from the :mondo: team. 
Simon says my account is fine and I haven’t had any issues until now.
Yeah, it’s enabled.
Simon got the engineering team looking into it, or at least will be by Monday morning hopefully. Was just hoping someone else encountered the same problem.

WOW, you guys are really excited about Monzo.me, such an amazing level of investigation 
Please just remember we haven’t released it yet, we’re still adjusting and trying things out. I recommend you to not use it for real until we release it properly since we might still make some changes

No middle name to try
Hugo you better find a way to enable it for android users automatically when you release it

well your name clearly has no accents (as some systems convert say ö to oe, ä to ae, etc) so I have no other ideas why it not working
As Hugo said, we haven’t actually released the feature yet, so please don’t worry too much if things aren’t working, what you’re seeing right now is just part of the functionality and until we actually make an official announcement and ship the actual app update that includes it, then you should probably expect to see a bug or two, or for things to change.
Not much longer, we promise!

Completely understandable of course 
Any chance I can request a custom name via support please?
I’m planning to use this as a link I’ll send for payments online when selling, items of £100 and under obviously, and I’d rather not share my full name around everywhere. I try to keep fairly anonymous and my combination of names probably isn’t that common.

You’re getting close to a business use case there so I just thought mention a couple of things, in case anyone’s thinking of using their Monzo.me for business (even if you’re not)…
There’s a couple of problems with people using Monzo.me for business would cause / run into -
- Monzo doesn’t plan to offer business accounts
- Monzo has to pay a fee to accept card payments so lots of transactions (business volumes) would be expensive for Monzo, as it’s not passing the cost onto card users
- You’d be in danger of hitting the £3,750 daily, 5k monthly or 60k annual top up limits
Having said that, since Hugo’s mentioned that usernames will be available in the future, I’d hope that Monzo could set you up with a custom name now

A quick note about Android support for those interested 
We won’t have all the beautiful UI in-app @hugo has shown above (yet) but you’ll be able to use Monzo.me still. Once we ship payments on Android (very, very soon ;)) and you enable them, your Monzo.me page should work automatically so you’ll just need to work out what your username is and the syntax of the link (as has been done above!) I’ll post full instructions when we launch it for Android users and I’ve tested that this theory works!
And don’t worry, Monzo.me support on Android is coming too! I’ll add it to the roadmap as soon as we launch it publicly

I’m assuming that this will be moot once Monzo isn’t using pre-paid debit cards anymore?
