Or sign up to Monzo?

This is so spammy, Iā€™d hate to receive this, certainly wouldnā€™t make me want to open an account. It would make me think thereā€™s some fine print somewhere about a ā€˜small 35% feeā€™ for depositing into a non-Monzo account.

Just make the experience awesome, and let people think Wow that was great, whatā€™s Monzo? Anyone capable of being a Monzo customer is capable of searching ā€˜Monzoā€™ on the internet.

I wonder if this is Monzo doing their date maths a bit weird with you setting up the link and viewing it close to midnight.

Thanks @enmasser, it looks like the iOS app is rounding the date down. Weā€™ve noted this to fix!

The feature is rolled out to everyone, but you need to be on the latest version of iOS and Android (2.33.0) to see it! Weā€™ve now also removed it from labs as 2.33 is fully rolled out.

I am on 2.33.0 (was yesterday when I posted) - still not showing up in my app.

29

Hmm, thatā€™s strange. Are you on iOS or Android?

30

iOS

31

Have you tried force-quitting the app and opening again? Sometimes these things get stuck until the app is forced to refresh a few things.

32

I wonder if you could convert the link into a QR codeā€¦
:thinking:

33

Yes

34

So maybe that should be the next iteration of this, the option to use it as QR code as QR codes are easier to shareā€¦ Although that depends on proximity.
As who uses the Pay Anyone by link and in what situations? Is it designed for when youā€™re out with people to share links or for any payment situation?

35

Yep I have done this a few times - still not there

36

I will do a reinstall to see if that makes it appear.

37

Hmm, all I have left to suggest is that you whisper bizarre threats into the lightning port.

I guess it wont be for everyone. I think this is a nice extra for those comfortable with using it and itā€™s your choice (and the recipients) as to whether or not to use it.
