This may not be something others are interested in but I thought I’d throw it out there as I find the concept interesting.
This app/platform/whatever-it-is ‘Acorns’ rounds all your purchases up to the nearest $ and invests the change in a diversified portfolio.
What if Mondo allowed users to do this, but put the change into a separate savings account? Unsure how significant the savings would add up to be, but could maybe get you flights somewhere fun after a few months?
This would be a brilliant feature.
I tend to round up transactions manually myself at the moment with my regular account and do lots of little manual transfers.
An automated process would be a great addition
A personal preference here but I think save the change is a bit gimmicky and prefer features / services within the app to be left as clean/simple as possible.
I’d definitely use this. I’d heard of Acorns but didn’t know UK banks did it. I’d also like the ability to add an extra amount, like change+50p for every transaction, to get the savings moving faster. At the moment I throw all my coins in a jar at the end of the day to save for flights, which obviously can be more than rounding up when you’ve split a note for something small, so being able to compensate with a larger amount per transaction would be great.
Looks like its only the Lloyds group that does it (Lloyds, Bank of Scotland, TSB are all brands of the same group) unless you know any others? Doesnt look like Natwest or Santander do it
