Shared Tabs & Splitwise 🤷‍♂️

Monzo Chat

Thanks for a fantastic reply!

Great to see that adding outgoing bank transfers and settling a Tab without closing are done (must have missed those before) and that adding outgoing Monzo-to-Monzo transfers and adding a new member to the Tab part way through are in the works.

NB: it would be useful to be able to Bill Split outgoing Monzo-to-Monzo transaction too.

To answer your questions:

  • For deposit returns.
    For example: if a group of flatmates are using a Shared Tab to figure out what they each owe, it makes sense for them to add their deposit to the Shared Tab when the

  • For refunds, especially partial refunds.

  • If one person on the Shared Tab accidentally transfers another person on the Shared Tab instead of settling the Tab and they’d prefer the amount they sent to be included towards the amount they owe on the Shared Tab.

I know these sort of things could be transferred separately from the Tab, but so could any transaction and adding them to the Shared Tab would make it easier to keep track.

NB: it would also be useful to be able to Bill Split incoming transactions too for one off payments like the ones above - maybe Monzo’s great Pay Anyone by Text or Email feature could be integrated when Bill Splitting with non-Monzo users

  • Actually, I’d find this most useful for Monzo payments.

  • For Non-Monzo payments, you are able to add a title/note saying what the custom bill is for. You can then describe it adequately enough for everyone in the Shared Tab to understand exactly what it was for (eg: food for breakfast).

  • For Monzo payments, you only get the merchant name and the total cost as info about the transaction; this doesn’t always tell you enough about the transaction to remember what it was for, especially if you’re in a foreign country where you don’t know many merchants.
    You don’t even get the time or location of the transaction to help you figure out where it’s from (which is why being able to view the whole transaction by clicking on it would be useful).

I can’t seem to be able to settle part of a Tab yet. I’m on iOS version 2.29.0 - is this feature in the next release?
