New feature coming 👀

[BritishLibrary]

Whoa there, are we all going to gloss over this Monzo bot thing? How have I never seen this before?!

Monzo Bot, is this secret feature new Plus?

@monzobot fortune

[monzobot]

It is decidedly so

[Rat_au_van (Em)]

Because it’s evil so we try not to summon it

[BritishLibrary]

Robot who shall not be named sort of thing.

Whoops, shouldn’t have unleashed it…

@Rat_au_van

Because it’s evil so we try not to summon it

This is the (hitherto unspoken) truth.

@BritishLibrary

Monzo Bot, is this secret feature new Plus?

@monzobot

It is decidedly so

Although evil it is generally accurate.

I reckon it’s remortgaging / applying for a mortgage in-app? Partnerin with Habito/Trussle?

Anyone else like the idea of a transaction feed that, through Open Banking, displays all transactions in sequence - whichever account they happened on? It would be useful in terms of tracking overall spend.

[redshift]

Swipe right for the Master Feed™. I like this idea.

There was an update today, nothing new yet

[Chris_R (Chris Rimell)]

The new update text talks about the rollout of confirmation of payee.

[andrew_fishy (Biggest horse fanatic in Leeds)]

Oh, Didn’t see anything in Google Play update notifications

[don_quixote]

Open banking it is then

@davidwalton

It’s important to us that you know exactly what information we see when you add a bank account. By continuing, you’ll be redirected to <b>%s</b> to sign in to your account. After that we’ll securely return you to the Monzo app. We’ll never store or share this information, and we connect accounts securely using encryption. You can remove an account at any time. Information we’ll see What we’ll get from your other bank

[Chris_R (Chris Rimell)]

Very exciting times

[Drew58 (Drew - Joint account feature parity please Monzo)]

Hopefully so.
Nice to have something new in the lockdown.

If the details don’t match this seems to be the warning you get.

[Alexxxxx (>50 categories pls)]

Hope being green lit means we’re about to get it

[MainPapaya]

Very excited about some Open Banking integration. Does anyone know if this is likely to be for current accounts only, or will other products be available (savings accounts, mortgages, credit cards etc)? The sooner I can get a single overview of my finances under one roof the better!

[don_quixote]

I imagine it will start with just current accounts, but hopefully, they will include everything

So Monzo really can be the place to see all your finances

[Peter_G]

I don’t think anyone here (aside from maybe @kieranmch, though he’s probably not telling) knows right now.

It seems like this is bank account integration rather than credit cards, and hopefully directly rather than through TrueLayer, so I imagine it’ll be limited by what data banks can share (some don’t share savings accounts I think), what Monzo wants to show in the app and how they’ll present it.

I’m hoping for the full shebang (technical term). Although I wonder if this might be a Plus Exclusive as otherwise it might eat away at revenue?

Indeed - I thought the only focus was profitability, and if implemented as some describe, it gives less reason to make Monzo a persons primary (salary) account?
