It would help if the summary wasn’t clogged up with the least helpful votes. I think with all the people refusing to understand the point, a chance of a concise and convincing reason has been sabotaged.
That’s what I said earlier. Just edit your first post and add some bullet points as to why you think it will be a good idea
Another argument for giving us access to MCCs.
I’ve just voted for this. But purely out of sympathy and because you care so much, and not because i think it’s important or relevant in any way whatsoever.
Couldn’t agree more. This request isn’t asking Monzo to do anything revolutionary - but rather simply to pass through a data field which they already hold.
I get the impression that some of the strong reaction here relates to the fact that we have two camps with different identities - one camp are relatively well-informed about payments systems, enjoy understanding and debating their finer points, and take a certain amount of pride in knowing what MCCs are, while the other camp aren’t so well-informed about the finer details of payments systems and believe they have better things to do with their lives. I would place myself more in the former camp - I enjoy geeking out on SEPA regulations or PSD2 or whatever - but I also understand that the majority of Monzo’s customers are probably in the latter camp.
Presumably there would be a way to keep both camps happy by providing the MCC but only in an “Advanced info” screen or similar - a bit like the way applications such as Firefox and Spotify hide away more advanced settings in their application preferences.
Thank you for this post Much more elegantly put than I managed, evidently!
