More merchant enrichment!

I’ve found myself relying on Monzo for more than just banking. For example, I was just wondering what the name of the great barber I went to earlier in the year - and the best way of reminding myself was jumping into Monzo and searching. My next step was to find the website and phone number (via Google).

This made me think - could merchant enrichment be supercharged with this information? Does Google (or Foursquare or someone) have an API that lets you put phone number / website / social media handles for a merchant quickly and easily at the bottom of the transaction screen? Or is this information held already?

Going back to my barber, I’d have loved to look up the transaction on Monzo, tapped it and called them directly.

Or for an Amazon transaction, have a link to queries / support for that purchase.

Or to go to my TfL account…

Would anyone else find this useful?
