Just seen this in app.
Better late than never!
Top work, Monzofolk.
Have other banks done this already? I know Chase have but havenāt seen others.
super proud of the team that worked on this, theyāve been working non-stop to implement this
Do you need to have marketing preferences turned on, do you know? I havenāt seen it (but I have all the toggles set to off).
I have personalised marketing turned on.
I know Metro Bank are currently accepting donations through their Magic Money Machines where usually the donations went to a cancer trust but now goes towards a fund that is directed to help Ukraine (I canāt remember the funds actual name).
Good to see, maybe itās just rolling out as we speak
Seen it in Barclays too, and maybe RBS as well
I have it on and havenāt seen it either.
A side question, are donations through Monzo anonymous? Thatās largely why with appeals like this I opt for donating via Apple. It just looks like a regular purchase with Apple, so it doesnāt show on my my bank statement as looking like a donation and the charity never knows who made it, which is how I prefer it.
I get the charity not knowing who donated (although itās financially better for everyone if you use gift aid), but why not on your bank statement? Are you trying to hide your charitable donations from yourself?!
Iāve not seen this spam in app yet, will be cleared as soon as I do though.
An appeal for charity is not āspamā.
Mostly personal preference. I like to keep my donations from prying eyes, including my bankās. Though the latter is less of a concern, particularly with banks like Monzo who arenāt in the data brokerage business.
Just showed up for me after going to the manage tab and back to the feed!
I like the beating heart.
Literally the definition of spam
āirrelevant or unsolicited messages sent over the internet, typically to a large number of users, for the purposes of advertising, phishing, spreading malware, etc.ā
I havenāt asked for it, itās been sent to a mass market, itās advertising a charity appeal.
Itās horses for courses, itās spam to me, but Iāll not carry on as that detracts from the thread and will be off topic.
I have all marketing things enabled and donāt have this yet
I havent seen anything encouraging donations in app at my other banks, but Santander does have this on their homepage
I suppose one could argue itās not irrelevant in this current situation, nor does it fall under advertising/phishing/malware?
