Setting up a virtual card for a pot …

Hi, hello!

Am really starting to love Monzo and have recently set up 5 or so pots to help with budgeting. We have a joint account and Monzo Plus and I would like to - if possible - set up a virtual card for a few of these pots so the money comes straight out.

However, when I try to set it up, the only option I get for each card is direct from my personal account.

What am I doing wrong? Or is it even possible to do this from a joint account and joint pots?

Thanks!

Are you setting it up from within the joint account pot?

Hi Carlo, thanks for the response.

I’m not setting it up from within a pot - I don’t think I have an option for this when I go into the pot?

I’m trying to set it up from:

‘+’ in top right, then ‘create virtual card’, ‘create virtual card’ again and in there I then only have the option to pay from personal account (screenshot above).

Cheers :smiley:

Do you not have this when you go into the Pot on the joint account you want the card set up from?

I don’t have a joint account so not sure if the process is different.

Are these old virtual cards? If so, old ones can’t be linked to a pot.

Make a new one and then you can tap where it says Pay from : Personal account and select and personal or joint pot.

Hey, no, they’re not old virtual cards, I’ve never had one before.

When I try to make a new one I don’t get any other optionn from the ‘pay from’ prompt than my personal account. No pots at all show up there.

Hi mate.

I have most of that that you are showing from the joint pot … apart from the bottom bit showing the virtual card!

It is possible.

If I create a new VC (starting from the ‘Max’ tab → Virtual Cards → Create virtual card) I get the usual creation display:

If I tap on ‘Pay from’, I get to select The Personal account, Joint account, Personal account pots and Joint account pots:

(:android:)

It’s not something silly like your Joint account is accidentally frozen?

Hey guys, thanks so much for all your replies.

I’ve figured out the issue, it was because I was still on an old Monzo Plan - Monzo Plus, so I have changed to Perks and instantly got the ability the add a VC from our pots!

Thanks so much for taking the time out to help. I really appreciate it.
