Post of the week 21/9/18 - kennygrant on pics for payees

[cookywook (Richard Cook)]

Hi there,

This week’s Post of the week is an idea from @kennygrant

Profile pics for payees

Please can we set profile pics for payees, like freetrade

We think it’s a great idea, and we’ll pass it onto the team. Thanks for sharing!

So how is this a great idea, but custom images for Pots was dismissed?

Thank you, but it’s not originally my idea, we were discussing it over on the freetrade forum. I think @evangelskies deserves the credit really.

It would be great to see features like this worked on though, and thanks for highlighting it. @j06 maybe they’ll get round to both eventually - I agree custom images would be nice on pots too.

We might still do images for Pots some day

Images for payees

Apologies if this has already been requested - I couldn’t find anything using the search but would be surprised if this had not already been asked about. Would it be possible to add images to non-Monzo payees in the app? Or to link the payees with contacts that already exist on my phone? When you make a payment to another Monzo user their image is displayed in the feed, but payments to other payees just use the contact’s initials.

Starling Feedback

I’d be happy with just the ability to add a photo to a payee!

Not new!

Please let me add a custom pot image. It would definitely inspire saving if I had an image of the goal I’m saving toward.
