When I open a pay.monzo.com link sent to my by a friend through Slack, it doesn’t open in the Monzo app. Slack insists on using its asinine “in-app browser”, requiring an explicit click on the safari icon to open in safari. This forces the Safari app to open the link, which then opens the regular, web-based version of the page, without an option to “open in Monzo app” at the top.
YouTube does the same sometimes, but it always has a bar at the top of the page with an explicit link to the YouTube app, as a fallback for this situation.
Details to reproduce:
Get a pay.monzo.com link in Slack, tap it. Then tap the safari icon bottom right.
OS:
iOS 12.3.1
Device:
iPhone 6s

Private, so I’d rather not. Let me know if the explanation is unclear and I can try and fashion a redacted screenshot
Thanks @SouthseaOne , that’s likely the same bug, yes. The required site association file is missing from the pay.monzo.com domain. It seems like they could just copy the one from monzo.me?
monzo.me and Starling’s settle up work better for customers already with the same bank
Not really sure what pay.monzo.com is, maybe an alias for monzo.me ?, but are you saying that it is intended to not work better between Monzo customers? Would be a bit curious given articles about how great it is to grow the Monzo ecosystem
@16bitkieran indeed, it’s for receiving money from strangers directly.
I was expecting this link to open in the monzo app and offer a convenient way to accept the money, without having to manually enter my sort code and account nr in a webform. Does that feature not exist at all? In that case the failure to open the link in the app is not the bug, but the lack of the feature itself is
Right, I see the confusion. I’m talking from the perspective of me receiving the link. Maybe that’s causing the mixup in this thread?
I have a Monzo account. If I get a monzo-dot-me link from a stranger (for me sending money to them), it will automatically open the app and prefill the details. If I get a pay-dot-monzo-dot-com link from a stranger (for them sending money to me), I expect it to do the same. Instead, I have to manually fill in my bank details. That’s the bug report (/ feature request).
My reply to this got flagged as SPAM for some reason (I suspect the URL-like content)… it’s hard to discuss this specific issue without talking about the websites if you don’t see a reply just before this one, let me know I’ll try to repost it.
Another year later, I was surprised this feature didn’t launch the app. I guess Monzo would need to write a screen with an Accept/Deny button but that doesn’t feel like an insurmountable task!
I had to put my Monzo details in manually on the web, which allows for data entry errors if this is a heavily-used feature.
Plus the first time I used it, it was trying to PUT https://internal-api.monzo.com/pay-anyone/claim-fps and got a 404 thus the button didn’t work. Started again and it worked though.
I have the same problem on Android. It dosent open in the app, and when I try and type in the data manually the last 4 digits of the account number are not displayed. I was trying to set up a special field auto fill on Bitwarden and that dident work either. Pasting the account number in didn’t work as well.
It said my payment was accepted when I typed the last 4 digits blind into the page. No payment has arrived despite it being a Monzo to Monzo payment.
