I’m looking forward to shared pots for saving. It would be even more awesome if anybody in the pot could spend directly from a shared pot, or even associate a completed transaction with a shared pot. Then me and my girlfriend could put money in to a shared pot and we could keep track of how much we spend together.
Perhaps the option to allow anybody in the pot to spend could be optional. It depends how much we all trust our friends! At least there would be a record of it. A summary of how much each pot member has spend might go down well too in that case.
Shared pots haven’t been mentioned in a long time so it’s really not clear what timeline they are on now. I think once pots for Joint Accounts are released, we may see a little more clarity about plans for shared pots.
This would be a great idea as my friends all have monzo and use it when doing rounds by on a day out the shared pot seems like a great idea when saving up to go out as a group would be good if you pay from the pot as well so it could be useful for rounds
In terms of permissions for the pot, the way I interpret the request so far is that there is a pot owner that can be re-assigned (to spend the pot) and all people involved can only take out as much as they have put in.
To my knowledge there is nothing planned for this yet.
If I remember they discussed the possibility of allowing you to choose a picture from a 3rd party service otherwise they would have to make changes to their infrastructure to allow for storage of everyone’s custom images.
