Monzo’s response to this previously:
I have commented already this is poor. I get that Monzo doesn’t simply want to copy competitors, but I don’t understand the ethical/moral/logistical reason hinted at when Starling have already implemented custom photos. It also seems at odds with already allowing customers to upload photos into their profiles, which surely carry the same risks regarding inappropriateness and storage.
In short, I don’t buy that excuse, and think the current policy and set of photos just…odd.
