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

An error that isn’t our fault and has now caused issues for people. I’ve now made agreements to pay an overdue bill today because I saw that and now I’m going to have the company and try and explain it.

With all the best will in the world, even if a staff member does come by again, a forum moderator will not have the authority to issue short term loans to customers.

It just makes me trust my app less now

People must know when pay day is though, so should be obvious it’s a mistake. It’s like a basic rule of don’t spend it till you got it.

If it was any other bank you would still be waiting until payday, so the fact you will get it a day earlier should just be seen as a win but not relied on as a given.

They certainly aren’t going to pay you out of their pocket before it’s with them.

I trust monzo and trust what they put on my app. I dont see why I need to assume it’s a mistake when it’s visible as I believe they know what they are doing

You’ve used get paid early before so you know how it works and that it’s never on the weekend

You trust Monzo more than you trust yourself?

I just assumed it had changed as I had updated the app and they change stuff all the time

No I trust monzo the right amount I just haven’t seen them make a mistake like this before

They make mistakes all the time, everyone does, I wouldn’t trust a business over my own conclusion of its the weekend so nothing would be paid on a sat/sun, that the date was earlier than normal, and that they really wouldn’t be paying people out of their own pocket 1 day earlier that it’s cleared to them, it would cripple the business if they did that.

I’ve never seen them make a mistake. They have always got everything right for me until now. Doesn’t matter it’s done

To be fair, there will be somewhere according to monzo t and c that they can withdraw it at any time. Also it was a mistake, so people should not axpect the money today when it’s probally day 1 of the bacs cycle.

There is and they basically tell you not to become reliant on it.

Exactly what I said mate. Even getting it a day ealier is a bonus, even a better bonus a payday Monday is paid on the Friday… So people should stop complaining

What am I reading here? Monzo are to blame for kids not getting a takeaway…

Sounds like they’re the new Jamie Oliver.
