Our all-new Savings Pot is here šŸŽ‰

Looks like OakNorth have matched this rate - looks like this created some competition?

Helpful while you can only have one Instant Access pot.

I suspect that’s coincidence

I’m pretty sure it won’t be long before the USP for the Monzo savings pot is that it’s instant access and not that it’s got the best rate.

Hope I’m wrong though, hopefully Monzo have built this instant access pot with a really simple dial behind the scenes that they can crank up to increase the interest rate at a moment’s notice.

Still can’t create a savings pot due to the error in the screenshots. Could this be beacause I have reached the pot limit? Help would be appreciated? Thanks

Delete a pot and find out?

Thanks! that was the issue. Although by the error message, this wasn’t very clear. Might be worth updating the error message as it’s currently quite confusing?

Does this mean monzo might be offering ISAs soon :eyes:

My reason; they posted similar about savings then boom this came out, now they’re posting about ISA

Somehow create pot screen is odd.

I already have instant pot, yet it is a top level card with details pressing which goes to error. Maybe it should be smaller in size?

ISA and fixed term ones are next.

And other easy access pots are hidden / grouped under other options.

I somewhat expected unavailable options not listed. And the next best thing to be listed - which is easy access 3% option at the moment. Especially for those that want to group their savings pots by role.

I agree. The way 3rd party easy access pots are hidden away under ā€œsee other optionsā€ does seem pretty odd. The lack of prominence makes me feel that there’s an unanounced plan to remove them as an option.

Does anyone else not get notifications that funds have been sent to pots :eyes: is it designed not to do this. Had my transfers into them go over night, but the only notification I got, was one about a pot been over 50% of the target it’s set for.

Minor feedback, but the text spacing seems to be off slightly here.

Scheduled payments :eyes:

Scheduled payments in are allowed, aren’t they?

I didn’t really understand your post - have you scheduled transfers to come out of the instant access savings pot? Or somehow using it as a bills pot?

Thought I was missing something as I’ve scheduled a fair few pots which all went in over night with no notifications, at least I know it’s not broken :raised_hands:

Can we open multiple versions of this pot, like we can with the current 3rd-party savings pots?
I need my savings to be separated into categories in order to keep track, so multiple interest-bearing pots are a sbsolute must for me!

Nope.

One per account.

Good work Monzo on this! Have pulled savings out of Atom and reallocated to this new Monzo savings pot :slight_smile:

Nope, hence why I still use Chase’s 3% savings accounts, each with their own sort code and account number.

The ability to do same within Monzo may make me reconsider that position.

Agreed, Chase’s offer is better at present. Monzo need to offer something more for me consider moving.
