That’s a nice little bonus - cheers.
You can. You’ve already been told how you can still do the challenge.
I think it’s pretty awesome that you’re doing this natively in the app now. This’ll remove the niche IFTTT barrier that will put most people off from trying something like this and help more people to save. With a nice incentive if they’re successful too.
I hope you’ll consider creating more native features inspired by IFTTT integrations if this one is well received (which I suspect it will be).
I love this!!!
A nice wee challenge will help me (hopefully!) stick to my savings plans lol
Thanks @N26throwaway! That’s the plan indeed. Lots of users have already been using the IFTTT integration, so we wanted to build on that and make the challenge accessible to even more users.
You can do this yourself fairly easily, it’s not hard to do.
Will we be able to make a monthly deposit as opposed to an individual daily deposit?
@Lewey02 The 1p Saving Challenge is a daily challenge, running for 365 days from the day you start. You’ll deposit 1p more than previous day, every day. Our challenge will offer you full flexibility to pause and catch up later, should you need to.
If you’d like to make regular monthly deposits, you can do this with our Pots (Regular, Savings & Investments) already. If you head to your Pot, you can schedule deposits to repeat at a frequency that suits you. You can do this alongside our 1p challenge too!
This is so good. Those screen shots look great. The attention to detail
Can’t wait for you to experience the full brand and product design on this, @Paulw. I’m obsessed with these pennies!
I know. I’m probably just gonna manually do it into a 3.6% pot I reckon.
Don’t trust IFTTT. Not giving some random company access to my Monzo account
I’m up for a challenge - think I’ll give this a go instead of using round-ups
They’re not random. I’d suggest you have a read up on them first, or do it manually as you mentioned if you can’t be bothered.
I prefer the reverse 1p challenge. I start off with good intentions, then it gets easier as the months go by Hopefully this is something that follows
I know of IFTTT. I just don’t know if I want to trust a 3rd party with full access to my Monzo account…
You’re not giving them full access to your account
This is a very welcomed addition to Monzo natively. Really looking forward to join this.
If I may be pedantic, the display:
Should be a little clearer and say
“… and so on until the final payment of £3.65 on day 365 results in a total of £667.95 saved.”
I did do a double take when I first saw it, thinking that the final payment would be £667.95!
Will it work if I’m overdrawn? IFTTT doesn’t
