Why do i get the feeling that Monzo might not be for you ?

Like it or not, emojis are part of modern language and becoming more and more prevalent and relevant to all types of business. The addition of an emoji to bring a little bit of joy to someoneās day, particularly with an industry as mundane and stressful as banking (which we all know Monzo is trying to make simpler and more enjoyable for us) is a desperately needed human touch.
Someone previously commented āmaybe Monzo isnāt for youā to the publisher of this postā¦ and I agreeā¦ banking is inhuman, Monzo is trying to change that. One of the best ways to show humanity is to acknowledge and celebrate our differences. If you donāt want a bank that is trying to humanise finance I suggest you stick with one of the corporates.

I love using emojis, especially when they make no sense at all in regards to what i have just said

How on earth did you make that assumption? This rant is not specifically for you, but your comment pushed me to actually go ahead and say it.
My comment wasnāt negative, I expressed a fairly neutral opinion, that I couldnāt care less about event-related emojis added to transactions just for a day. Iām not bashing the idea, I didnāt say it was a deal breaker, bad, unprofessional or stupid. I would prefer to not have it - thatās IT.
I love emojis in all Monzo comms, just this one idea Iām not that āwowā about. I realise Iām on that furthest spectrum in the thread so far, but the only thing I havenāt done was to praise the idea.
I appreciate that I will need to defend my opinion, though Iām so indifferent about this opinion that I donāt even feel the need to defend it or convince anyone else. However, I dislike being called fun police, Scrooge, mostly because it brings absolutely nothing to the discussion and doesnāt counter my neutral opinion in any way.

Agreed.
I reference: "Users Who Criticise Monzo Get Shouted Down Here"
Not specifically for the title, but some of the discussion about responding to emotions that follow.
I appreciate your point but Iām not sure how this statement isnāt negative.
Normally not someone who comments (here for insight/ occasionally with popcorn)
The reason I commented, in particular, is the ācoming from my bankā bitā¦ Along with a number of other things, itās these small details that make Monzo what it is. When you go to Tesco on Halloween and you are made to smile and chuckle to yourself simply for buying a sandwich. That to me is the pure essence of what Monzo is about. Take this away and you are left with another great product with no character. Iām also struggling to see how you can be indifferent while taking the time to comment about it.

How anyone can get offended by an emoji, is beyond me. Itās the 21st century for flipās sake. Smile, lifeās easier when you smile.

I hope not, I canāt believe this has even been brought up - I for one thought it was a nice little touch, never crossed my mind people might get offended by it!

Well this is a discussion forumā¦
I donāt agree with the opinion expressed by the OP, but it is a feature of Monzo and therefore deserves the right to he discussed as someone sees fit on here.
At the risk of boring repetition, no-one was āoffendedā. There was a bit of āmild preference againstā expressed but nothing stronger.

āHalloween is Halloweenā?
Not really.
Actually the original holiday is called Samhain, and the christians renamed it and made it into a cartoon.
