Hey again everyone! Thanks for the feedback so far. Hereās some comments from us.
You might want to check out the work weāre doing on Redesigning Spending. Goals will fit more into that than Pots.
We definitely want to do this. There are some tricky edge cases to consider, but itās in our plans. So, watch this space
And this fits in withā¦
Or, as lots of you have requested, rules for Pots.
This is something weāre definitely interested in looking into. Whether thatās a very simple āif-this-then-thatā approach letting you set up custom rules, or more advanced options for setting up standing order arrangements, weāre exploring all approaches.
Rules for Pots is still under Medium Term on the Roadmap. And we feel thatās still accurate.
Likewise, Direct Debits coming out of Pots would be great. We think thereās huge potential there to help with your day-to-day budgeting. Weād want to do as much of this as smartly (or āmagicallyā) as possible, by identifying your recurring payments. So stay tuned.
FYI, we previously worked on this as an FCA Hackathon a while back:
Weāre not planning to increase the number of Pots you can have. Weād have to figure out a new solution to handle this in the UI.
But maybe you could let us know what youād like them for? Weād love to hear your particular use case.
Probably not. Hosting custom images opens up quite a few new complications. (Do we let you upload ANY image as a Pot?). If we were interested, weād rather increase the number of default options or integrate with some kind of library instead.
This isnāt a priority at the moment. But weāre open to the idea of sorting options (by value, most recently added, etc.)
Weāre thinking about it. But thereās nothing to announce.
One thing weāre thinking about is having control over the permissions for your Pots, and then sharing them with other people. Eg. you could have a Pot that other people only have āRead & Writeā access to, so they could see it and add money, but not withdraw it. Thereās a ton of possible use cases for these, so weāll see what we can come up withā¦
Agreed! Weāll try to fix that soon.
We think thatād be neat. Having to withdraw to your main balance to re-add to another Pot isnāt ideal.
We wouldnāt do this. Weād need to create new bank accounts for each Pot, which would mean a lot of work on your side. We want Pots to be easy to set up and start using right away.
Again, we donāt have immediate plans to add Interest. But locked Pots is something we could look into.
Weād love to hear more about this. Right now, the name of the Pot is meant to be how you keep it organised. What kind of notes would you be interested in adding?
Not right now. But rather than having some kind of feed for Pots, try using the Search in your main feed and looking up the Potās name. That should give you a list of all the money youāve added or taken out of a Pot.
I hope that gives you some idea of where weāre at with Pots. Thereās not much to announce just yet, but weāre excited about the possibilities for the future.
Right now, weāre still mainly focussed on the current account (things like CASS) and the Overdraft. Pots are still on our Roadmap though, and weāre got some very cool things coming very soon. So keep an eye outā¦
