I was driving to work this morning and was thinking about Mondo (As you do) and I thought wouldn’t it be nice if I could make a purchase on my Mondo card such as a TV, lets say £1000. A week later I go into the app and it could go 'Hey Terry! We noticed you spent a large amount of money at Currys last week, from our calculations this means you will run out of money 2 weeks earlier that expected. You have told us that you have Barclaycard Credit Card with 0% for the next 12 months, would you like to move this purchase over to that card?" I click Yes! and Mondo charges my Barclaycard with the £1000 TV transaction, freeing up my Mondo balance.
It could even go a step further and automatically increase my monthly direct debit to compensate for the TV (Example: I could select pay the £1000 off within 4 months, the app calculated that this means adding an extra £250 a month to my Barclaycard payments and arranges this all for me automatically)
I often spend a little too much on my Mondo card that I think actually I should of put it on my credit card, but in the legacy banking world, there is no way to move this money around.
What do you think?

Interesting idea…
If you could create very specific rules on how this would work, perhaps different rules depending on value thresholds I think it could be very useful.
As long as we’re always in control…
In my OP I gave an example of a way Mondo could proactively do this. I can’t see any reason why you wouldn’t be able to click into a particular transaction and then whizz it off to a credit card going you full control over what you want to move.
Interesting idea, @terryharman!
One way I see this being taken even further than your suggestion is to look at the (potential) future Mondo credit offerings, and rather than move money around at a later date, do this instantly!
A use case where I see this being extremely useful is when making a big purchase, such as a holiday. 
As I’m sure you’re aware, your credit card must protect purchases over £100 for free. So, in the future, how cool would it be if there’s some :mondo: magic that occurs in the background, meaning that this type of purchase on your Mondo card is actually processed a credit card purchase, adding all sorts of consumer protection 
and, as you say, freeing 
up your balance.
Now obviously there are a lot of factors to be considered in this use case: available funds, customer permissions, credit score, credit limit, execution/response time, and so many more. In fact, it’s probably (almost definitely) not remotely feasible!
But, it would be awesome! 
while it is great in principal the practicalities impact on interest rates. Say a TV is purchased on card A it is at the lower interest rate, if purchased on card B but then the finance passed to card A it may be at a higher interest rate such as a cash advance as it not actually deemed a purchase by that card institution
Mondo would charge the card as a purchase rather than a cash advance in essence it will be a little like topping up via credit card.
