Monzo now lets you get paid a day early, for free

Nice one mate, thanks!!!

If you get paid early it puts both month’s pay on your summary (at least in the first month and for me this month). Looks a bit odd! If I claim early next month I will have next month’s pay in this month’s summary. If I don’t claim it next month, I am going to have a month with no salary? I suppose it is better than changing your summary period, but feels odd!

Same here, iOS 13 Beta too.

Same as everyone with iOS 13 beta, if you read the thread you’ll find a workaround.

I’ve just got the notification for my early pay, I’m not sure it’s something I’ll make a habit of using, but I’m driving home tonight so having my money early will make paying for my fuel slightly less painful :joy:

Did anyone try this with iOS 13.1?

My wife started a new job after redundancy and couldn’t wait to test this feature out.

She was disappointed that it didn’t work for her.
Not Monzo’s fault though.
They paid her through FPS and got paid 2 days early :joy::joy:.
She was very happy.

Same issue on 13.1

It looks like Monzo will need to update it rather than 

It worked for me! I just presses the wallet. :slight_smile:

Yep I did too… but swiping down doesn’t work on 13.1 either.

Running iOS 13.1 and the drag to wallet did not work, but I got a message saying click on wallet, which worked a treat for me :+1:

Looks like I saved a hell of a lot last month…

Until there’s an ‘last working day of the month’ option then Monzo’s gonna get it wrong every time…

That is already an option

Ooh, my bad - I misinterpreted that (it’s my first month being paid into Monzo haha)!

I agree it’s not the most obvious at all, but once you know it is relatively good for me. My pet hate is still that incoming bank transfers won’t show up in summary and skew it ever so slightly, and that monzo plus payments aren’t able to be predicted (but tbh there are bigger issues with plus…).

Some interesting behaviour on the Android App observed with getting paid early for the first time. The following screenshots show the flow, with the final screenshot appearing to be the odd one out.

That looks normal to me.

Screen 3, seems to repeat the messaging from screen 1. Additionally screen 1 and 2 have a progress bar with only 2 stages, with the final stage being “OKAY”, which suggests it’s the final stage. If the third screen isn’t actually the odd one out and is meant to be there, it feels a bit disjoint.
