I saw an article for this earlier,
Anyways none of thatās, that important tbf. I had a look at the app, it uses the same kind of tech insights into your credit file to pull the mortgage details through, this app launched that facility in October.

Wow!!! Super easy to connect and awesome to be able to see the progress and repayment amount. I love the way Monzo is becoming my OMNI-channel to all things finance.

I had a fake pot representing the same thing and manually updated every month so my wife could see the amount aswell because she hasnāt bothered signing up for mortgage provider. This is great, but as others have said since itās old data it doesnāt really have any value to us. Plus since itās based on individuals credit reports and each person has to enable it, better to just keep our fake joint pot. I can see this being useful to lots of people though. Maybe where mortgage is the only product with the provider so miles easier than going elsewhere etc

When you say a fake pot, do you mean a pot with zero in it and setting the goal to the mortgage amount? Or do you have another hack?!
Yea exactly that, just using the pot target for another purpose basically, we do it for lots of things so can see everything all in one place. Until the gov/finance industry pull their socks up and do open banking for everything itās the next best(cheapest) thing

Loving this new feature! My BTL mortgage provider doesnāt have online visibility so this is revolutionary to me to be able to track the progress of my mortgage! It was such a quick and seamless feature to add too. Great work Monzo!

This is really cool. Itās unfortunate itās based off the credit file which always seems to take an age to update (my progress tracker is a month behind reality) - but I love the percentage paid off and how long to go!

I really like this addition to Monzo
I would love to see the below added -
How much an overpayment wipes off the mortgage
What term is left on the rate you are locked in at
How much you have paid in interest and how much you have paid off in capital

Adding this yesterday was incredible. An amazing moment for something relatively dull.
First time Iāve heard my group of friends talking about Monzo in a few years.
Also, Iāve had a Halifax mortgage for a few years and havenāt been able to login (FFS).

Maybe you should attempt to fix that? Reset online authentication details with letters?

Still not got the RBS logo on the wee card - just a plain generic grey one.

Mine is way out.
Iāve made 7 payments but itās saying Iāve only made 3.
It says updated 44 days ago, which is fine, I get that, but based on what itās showing Iāve paid, only July/Aug/Sept are being calculated. The latest the last update could be is 30th Sept (1st Oct payment isnāt included) and thatās 105 days.
The total paid back is also wrong. It says Iāve paid Ā£2,201 over 3 months, that means monthly payments of Ā£733, which is Ā£60 out, and the correct amount is displayed below anyway.
Hey @Revels, sorry to hear this is off. Which bit are you looking at for the total number of payments?
For the repayment progress (Ā£/% paid back), weāre aware this is a little confusing and weāre looking at how we make this clearer. At the moment, this is calculated as your starting mortgage balance minus your current balance - i.e, itās the amount of the balance youāve paid off, excluding any interest. But weāre hearing from you and other folks that this isnāt particularly clear.
Is your balance correct? (Or at least, what youād expect as of 44 days ago?)

I just checked the app to see how many times Iāve paid the mortgage. But the app says 32 years and 9 months, so itās only looking at 3 payments.
Thatās what I thought it would be, but it isnāt right.
We pay Ā£673 a month and it says Iāve paid off Ā£2,201.00
Ā£2,201 / 3 = Ā£733
44 days ago means it hasnāt quite included the payment for 1st Dec, I get that bit, but there should still be July, Aug, Sept, Oct & Nov.

Mines the same. First mortgage payment was April, and also 44 day old data. But the amount paid off is about 3.5 months worth of payments 
My payments were:
1x Ā£933 in April
Then Ā£777 every month since then.
Total paid shows as Ā£2931 which even taking into account the 44 day old data is still way out.

Can I pay your mortgage and you pay mine?
Also, I had the same problem as you. It was inaccurate so I turned it off

So hereās a weird thing.
-
My mortgage has just updated. Monzo says that it updated 46 days ago, but the balance seems closest to the payment I made on 1st January. So itās nowhere near 46 days old.
-
But, weirder still, the values donāt match. My mortgage provider has my outstanding balance as being Ā£xxx,684.65. but in Monzo it says Ā£xxx,629.00 - a difference of Ā£55.65.
Not major in the scheme of things but just really weird, especially that the balance is lower in Monzo. 
(@HB drop me a line if you wanted any of my details to investigate whatās happening behind the scenes).
Update: the same figure is in Credit Karma, so looks like a reporting thing somewhere.
Iām not sure how. My mortgage provider only updates the web site once a month. It feels like a leap that theyāre giving credit agencies daily data (which they pick up at some point).
That said, I suppose it could reasonably be the outstanding balance reported to the CRAs on a different cycle to the payment one, so theyāll never really match.
