I donโ€™t need a new virtual card, I prefer to connect my existing ones to corresponding pots :expressionless::sob:

Hi, can you please tell us more about the problem (which device are you on, whatโ€™s the error message you getโ€ฆ) so that we can look into it? Thanks! :pray:

Set this feature up this morning for my recurring payments, a bit annoying that I had to create a new virtual card but nothing that didnโ€™t take 20 minutes.

Question, if thereโ€™s no money in the pot will it revert to taking from the main account? Iโ€™d like to let all the payments stack up in the pot first so I can see how much needs to be added each month.

No theyโ€™re declined. It was clarified somewhere up the thread

All sorted thanks!

Virtual card must be paid from a pot to be able to add it to Google Pay NFC contactless. Once a created a pot, and a virtual card to pay from pot, there was nice โ€œadd to gpayโ€ button and it all work flawlessly.

Canโ€™t wait for the flex virtual card.

I like this. Because normally Google pay is unlimited. And now this virtual card is limited by pot balance.

It would be nice if virtual card images were available as pot imagesโ€ฆ Did screenshot of Google pay card, to set as pot image.

If you get a refund will it go straight back into the pot or main balance?

Refunds will go back into the Pot that the payment was taken from.

If youโ€™ve archived the Pot before the refund lands weโ€™ll automatically unarchive the Pot so you can see the refunded money and choose what to do with it. You can always re-archive the Pot if youโ€™d like.

Just had a thought after release of virtual cards linked to pots where Monzo could take over the space Curve has created.

You link an account to Monzo as you do now and then you can link a virtual card to it so you can make payments using your virtual Monzo card with the source of funds being your other account. I know itโ€™s not a novel idea but would mean Monzo is really pushing to be the financial control centre that was promised.

You can only choose a funding source from a :monzo: Personal account or any pots created under that Personal account (at this time)

No harm dreaming, Iโ€™m still [insert really deep movie-trailer-intro voice] dreaming of a world where Joint accounts are fully-featured.

Are we going to get any formal comms outlining the features in this thread? Or do we just need to piece it together ourselves?

Iโ€™d imagine it will be part of a 4.0 release story along with Flex?

Surely not movie trailer but the โ€œIโ€™m (really slowly) dreaming (also slowly) of a white Christ-mas (also slowly), one like etc used to knowโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

I think this latest release unfortunately confirms JAโ€™s are just getting further behind.

We have to sign up what are called โ€œproduct codesโ€ and image assets manually on a Mastercard portal and I think we have a limited amount. @tim knows better.

Either way, that means we canโ€™t simply display anything dynamically on your MDES (ie. Google Pay & Apple Pay) wallet. Because of that limitation we wouldnโ€™t be able to show your pot image on Google Pay.
