Showing running balance

[Cookiem]

It would be really helpful to have the option to turn on/off running balance on the app.

Display running balance with each entry

Hi all, It would great if we were able to see a running balance alongside each entry in the app. This would mirror a traditional bank invoice as you might expect. Minor feature I know but I would really appreciate it! Thanks Tom

Running balance

Does anyone else find it disconcerting that you cannot see previous balances on “your card” and then to mentally check if subtracting the days purchases from your previous balance adds up to “your card” balance , Ive just received a refund onto my “your card” balance and not been quick enough to see "your card " balance prior to the refund being added , with no report on the payments screen of the refund Ive no idea how much the refund is for and can’t find anywhere on the app to show me previou…

View balance at time of transaction

I think it would be useful to be able to view the balance at the time of a transaction. Clicking a transaction would show the additional information and in that would be the current account balance at that time, or maybe the balance as a result of that transaction. I’ve often looked back and wanted to see what the current balance was at a point in time and have had to add up transactions to calculate this. I think Barclays recently implemented something similar.

Balance on given date

I like comparing the current balance with the balance on the account exactly a month ago to get an idea of my spending and how the month is going to end. It would be nice to be able to quickly see the balance for a given date. For example next to the date in the transactions list.

Balance after each transaction

Hi! I don’t know if this has been brought up before, but I would personally love to have this feature implemented on Monzo. This is one of the things I miss from my old, HSBC account - having a history of my balance below each transaction. This helps me know how much money I had at the time. Let me explain with a screenshot below: [234532452345]

I would say this is now covered by the trends spending graph, so unlikely they’ll add it to the main feed.

A running balance per day is a really big missing feature: I would happily lose some pretty icons for this.

It is impossible to work out now spending has gone during the month without it: the spending analysis provide something completely different.

You will not attract serious users of other banks without this. Though I am exactly that and have been here years - I really miss this.

There’s probably plenty of frivolous users for them to poach, though. Plus, there’s Plus.

This is something I requested a while back and never saw any traction on so definitely something I’ll back!

I must say, as someone that struggles with anxiety, I often get huge bouts of worry when trying to figure out where money has gone when I have less than I expected.

This is the one feature that I’ve considered leaving Monzo over.

I go to the PDF statement to get the running balance. Annoying but the easiest way so far.

[vwvanfan (Chris Eddison)]

Massive massive plus one from me. Being able to see how much was in my account right before I got paid means I know where my zero line is for the month. I don’t need a fancy graph, I just need to know how much cash was in there at that time. It’s a basic feature that every other bank I can think of has. Please implement this!

[squish (James)]

Seems such a basic feature, just make it an option in labs or something. Come on Monzo.

[js2 (Josh Swire)]

I’d also really like this feature. It’s the only thing I don’t like about Monzo. Anyone know how we can push this to Monzo?

[Revels]

You just have.

But given the app has just been redesigned and it isn’t there, that’s probably the answer.

[tsb781]

This is an option but it’s no good if you need to actually do anything with the information because it’s locked in a PDF. In my case I have to find the maximum for a whole year, and manually searching a PDF of all my transactions for a full year is not an option.

[Dhs90]

I love monzo used for years but this is bugging me so much I want to leave for a bank that shows this basic feature

[Wstaylor (Will)]

I agree this would be a great feature to have! It would be very nice to have a running balance when looking at your account. I have found you can access the end of day balance from the trends page but that is a bit of a faff. It would be nice to have it displayed similar to other banking apps. Thanks for your consideration
