Wouldnāt that give them less reason to move? If they can see all from the monzo app then thereās no reason to move the accounts
How would it work via open banking?
Sounds like a good Plus feature.
I personally donāt think open banking (the connecting other accounts part at least) will be a plus feature, especially as the re-design was essentially done around it.
I hope not, but if the concern is that people will use the Monzo app to manage accounts held elsewhere and therefore not make any money for Monzo, then Plus would seem a logical destination.
Iām inclined to think this is about payment initiation. I think I remember there being an indication in strings a while back that that was on the cards.
Yeah I agree but I donāt see payment initiation being released without connected accounts being there. Surely the flow is connect account -> initiate payment from connected account.
I donāt know, Iām just speculating. Poor phrasing on my part in the initial comment.
True Unless there was something to highlight how advantageous having all your bills, for example, in Monzo proper would be.
Or at the very least I guess it could be used to improve the CASS process:
āThese are the bills and standing orders you are transferring to Monzoā. I think Simon mentioned that a lot of people are nervous about their mortgage and important payments when CASSing.
I reckon itās being able to see balances and transactions on the accounts we hold with other banks - this time using the true open banking APIs.
If so, Iām hoping this will include Amex!
Iām hoping it will be the ability to hold all loyalty cards within the app too so my wallet isnāt cluttered up anymore
You can do that on your phone
I will bet whats in monzo account that it wont be this
Heās such a tease
Got to love all the comments on Twitter, all those users who gonna be disappointed that itās not cheque imaging or dark mode
It has to be something which is either directly or indirectly profit generating. I suspect it is not something for Plus because it would have made sense to have it ready before Plus was launched (and it was ready for launch weeks ago, but postponed due to Coronavirus).
Unless it is plus in an updated way.
Confirmation of Payee?
I think I read it somewhere that confirmation of payee wasnāt it.
Iād bet my Nationwide monthly subscription that itās Plus.
Iāll raise you one month of Monzo plus
