Except it is a proper feature - Monzo give you the effect of having two separate accounts without needing to open a second account with a different bank.
It’s not a feature when you have a Lloyds account and you have to open a Natwest account, because those are two separate companies, you’re not taking advantage of something Lloyds have offered.
But when you’re with Monzo and you’re taking advantage of something Monzo have offered?
That’s a feature.
You have not properly used the feature it appears, all my DD bills come off a SINGLE pot that tracks how much they are, when I get paid I hit one button and it sorts the money into the pot. I could easily set a standing order to move that amount but I ALSO get salary sorter to put money into a savings pot at the same time and move money into my joint account. My DD can vary a little with the mobile bill so I usually add a little more but when the next sort comes along it can factor this in as well saving time editing standing orders.
I dont know why having free bill pots is not as good as messing with multiple banks or paying starling the privileged of having a second account.
You can open a 2nd account at many banks without having to go to another bank. How is that really different to what Monzo offer?
You literally always seem to try and shoot down monzo’s value add all while preaching about starling with their stupid font. No wonder people see you as hostile, you cant admit something is good if monzo does it.
I know you’re being deliberately obtuse, but I just opened a pot in less time than it took you to write that post.
Let me know how long it takes you to open a new bank account with another bank.
BECAUSE YOU DONT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT HASSLE AND IT WORKS WITH SALARY SORTER… Have you never used the feature or something?
People worked around it in the past but this is far easier and slicker and unlike starling it doesnt cost £2 a month.
Good! finally! /jk
I think you need to let go of your hatred of a font 
Countdown to this topic being locked due to number of flags…
I googled “open 2nd [bank] account” a number of times, replacing [bank] with a different bank name each time.
Most of the time, the results ended up relating to opening addtional business accounts. In a small number of cases, there were no useful results.
I’m not sure the ability to have more than one account with a bank is as clear and straightforward as you make it out to be.
I wish they would let me change it, its just a font I really dont like, its like a diet version of comic sans in my eyes.
Some people like comic sans and have that as their system font on android… shudder…
@AlanDoe Let’s get this topic on LOCKDOWN. Too many Monzo lovers arguing with Monzo haters. No relevant discussion here. Everyone’s broke the rules!!!
Its such a non feature starling have even tweeted about trying to do something similar…
I just dont know why when everyone here is saying they use bill pots and salary sorter and love the feature we are wrong because its not a real feature and you could go and pay starling for a second account or go to other banks and open accounts then move the DD over and set up standing orders and deal with that pain all to avoid using a feature thats built in and very easy to use.
Some people may like all that hassle and are welcome to do it but for many bill pots and salary sorter are valued FEATURES that make peoples life easier to budget with and in a starling discussion its relevant because starling doesnt have the feature and I know plenty have said they would like it if they did have it.
I just hope the nay sayers dont rain praise on starling if they rip off the feature in the future.
That reminds me, paying in at the post office isnt really a feature, I could just open a bank account with a high street bank and pay my cash in that way and transfer it over… or is that somehow not the same thing.
Oh and cheque imaging…
Oh and euro account…
Oh and kids cards…
Those all are not features because there are other ways you could do it…
Can we give it a rest now and just grow up.
It’s obvious from postings that certain people don’t like each other they just want to carry on a Vendetta against each other.
Seriously people 🤦
I’ve literally just flagged the entire topic, forgot I can tag Alan into a post 
Ah, so you do have a separate account for your bills after all! Except that you call it a pot.
If it looks like a separate account, and walks like a separate account, and quacks like a separate account, then it’s a separate account.
Said no one ever, unless they want to destroy this forum. It’s been a much better place since it’s total shutdown precisely because it has been ruled in a much more hands off light touch fashion, we don’t need to go back to that thread closing nonsense, the flagging is more than bad enough, people just need to be grown ups, agree to disagree acknowledging that what works perfectly for one may be the worst thing for another, and move on back to discussing the starling product instead of this.
It’s a segregated part of the same account
If it looks like the same account number, walks with the same account number and quacks with the same account number then it’s the same account
