Itās a bit repeatative, Iāve got the same group of contacts listed 4 times on the same screen. Quite messy imo. The top part of the screen is an improvement though

I suppose that is the difficulty with Frequents and Recents as they can (and in most cases will) be one and the same. Maybe having just one and then the list of all payees/contacts would be an improvement?
Iād prefer to see recent contacts and all contacts. With a little Monzo logo for the Monzo contacts. 4 lists of contacts is overkill. Get rid of the frequent and monzo lists

Iāve found 4 of these! Iām getting in touch with cops to get rid of them. They donāt like time being wasted so maybe thatāll speed up them building it in app 
I think recent works better than frequent - my āfrequentā is to my landlord - who Iām unlikely to pay other than the already committed payment that is set up.
I like aggregating contacts as well, the little Monzo logo is already baked in as well.
Good step from the previous tab but think there is some more to be done!

Seems they canāt get rid of them either 
Iāve just got this - itās a welcome improvement!
I like that scheduled payments have their own tab.
On a sidenote - Iāve had this, energy switching, connected apps and Barclaycard integration all appear at the same time 
It has just shown up for me as well. Any way to hide the āBorrowingā section? I donāt want a loan and most likely wonāt any time soon (if ever) so it would be nice to remove this from the screen. I tried switching off ālending promotionsā but it is still showing.

Hi all, thanks for the feedback on the new payments screen so far. This should now have rolled out to everyone on the latest versions (2.40), so please check it out and keep the feedback coming!
Weāre making a couple of changes in response to your comments:
- People whom you only make scheduled payments to (e.g. your landlord) wonāt appear in the āFrequentā section. This should hopefully improve how useful that list is. This change will roll out in the next day or so.
- The āALLā list is now sorted alphabetically as it should be.

I get paid via FPS (grr 
) and it seems that my employer shows up in my āFrequentā section 
Might be nice to manually (or automatically?) filter stuff like that out too 
Is it just me or is having Frequent, Recent, Contacts on Monzo and āAllā a bit overkill? It seems messier and less organised.

I hear your argument that it feels like overkill, although each of these sections is distinct:
- Frequent is ordered by āmost paidā, so peoplesā partners, closest friends etc. should make up the top of that list. Recent might sometimes look similar to frequent, but itās more up to date. Frequent wonāt change as much over time, so you might not find a new friend you paid yesterday on there.
Frequent and Recent together should cover 95-99% of the payments you make at a single glance. From personal experience the recents list on the old payments tab often collapsed relevant people into the āMoreā section.
-
Contacts on Monzo are all your phone contacts who have a Monzo account, whether or not youāve paid them before. This is useful if you want to pay someone you know for the first time.
-
ALL is just a list of everyone youāve paid before and I expect is the least useful of the four sections.
The thinking was the vast majority of people wonāt need to scroll down on this page to find who theyāre looking for, but everyone is still there if you need them.

It is as people have mentioned overkill.
IMO, the initial clicking of the payments tab should have
Pay Tab:
This has all of your recent, contacts on Monzo and all.
Request tab:
Monzo me link (especially for joint accounts). This tab in joint accounts currently brings up frequent, recent, contacts on Monzo and all. Clicking any of these gives you PERSONAL accounts Monzo me link??? Utterly incorrect behaviour.
Move money tab:
As is
Frequent payees:
As it currently displays

I think I prefer the old screen. This one just feels like a mess.

I get that each section has a distinct function, but it still feels too cluttered.
I think at the very least it would help if the Monzo contacts were just integrated into the other sections. They would still have the Monzo āMā in the corner of the contact circle to easily identify them.
When you are at the bottom of the payment tab, it would be nice if clicking the payments tab icon again would scroll you back to the top of the screen.
Another thought on clutter - what is the purpose of the create new contact button at the top next to nearby friends? It just seems to add a contact into the actual Apple contacts app. Is this a feature people have actually been using?

What do you find most messy about it? 
Is there something youād strip out / move? 
I liked the circular monzo contacts on the previous screen. The amount of lists is overwhelming on the screen.
I also donāt like the recent list with the referral link underneath. It looks too busy.
I think the screen needed a tidy up, but this is not very kind on the eye 
sorry

Hmm, it does seem a little bit jarringā¦ It might be better suited beneath Pay / Request (as the styling is the same 
)

Personally i preferred the mock ups designs that were previously designed then scrapped that had more logos in use and was better segregated.
To me id remove the whole āContacts on Monzoā section.
Consolidate it with āAllā because the monzo logo is enough i feel to distinguish between the accounts.
@robinb some questions on future enhancements:
- Will we be able to merge payees?
- Will we be able to add images for non-monzo payees?
- Can you show the profile picture of monzo payees for transfers to their non-monzo account please
