New feature coming 👀

There are two metal cards. This was “leaked” a while back :slight_smile:

Yeah, both options were/are available to staff.

But as far as I’m aware Metal probably won’t launch yet. The benefits of metal were more affected by the pandemic compared to Plus.

Reading between the lines, virtual cards confirmed…

? How did you get that

I intuited it…

Look at the bold letters in what I quoted

Edit: I should probably get back to work.

Would love virtual cards - would be worth plus just for this.

There have been indications of Virtual Cards in the Monzo Android Tear down’s also a while back

Also they may be able to be linked to a pot specifically for something like subscription payments which require a bank card.
This is just speculation from past teardowns and chats

And to add to that, the way I would use them is for things like:

  • Free trials / subscriptions that demand card details up front - often find these are difficult to cancel on a card.
  • General Online shopping to segregate where I physically input my card details - I could cycle cards more often for this purpose with less worry of how many sites I’ve given my card to.
  • If they implement it; specific pot payments from a linked virtual card.

For me it would be an added bonus on top of a well developed Premium account; it’s not something I would seek out but I would use if it was part of an existing account.

Virtual cards is a feature I’d happily pay for.

Yep absolutely, and the amount of times when card updates have been given to vendors in forms of continuous payment authorities.

I know you can turn those off on your main card, but for some things it’s useful and some it’s not. The control to give your main card info to people who act reponsibly, and your vCard to people who might not could only be a good thing.

And legal obligations aside, it just frustates me to no end the amount of hoops you sometimes have to go through to cancel those CPA’s. Like I can sign up to a Service within 3 clicks, but to cancel I have to submit my blood sacrifice after 2pm on the First Tuesday after a Blue Moon when Jupiter is in retrograde.

Throw into the same bucket of frustration as well: the amount of vendors moving away from Direct Debit and towards CPA’s is so frustrating.

That link.

Of course there are some disadvantages.

A cursory skim over a couple of “disadvantages” to give the apprearance of objectivity. Completely fails to point out a customer has absolutely zero rights if they transfer money to a business.

Just say no, kids.

Some interesting cases there.

I like the idea of using a card to pay for recurring payments and have them come from a pot.

All I want right now is a higher pot limit with a monzo plus account :joy:
