My guess is that isnāt that much in the grand scheme of things. Itās hardly the money Renault pay to sponsor the Premier League on Sky

Anyone know if they stopped doing loans? I had one back in 2018 with them and the option seems to have vanished now, to be fair I havenāt checked since 2019 when I paid mine off.
Yes they stopped them a while back they said they was working on something new but nothing as of yet
Ahhh right, Iām guessing something like Flex. I donāt need a loan just wondered what happened.

Iām not quite sure how to read āin at least 12 monthsā. I think it should normally mean āwithin the next yearā but I think the context implies ānot before 12 monthsā.
Anyway, thoughts on valuation? Anyone know what the last raise was at (or was that not published)?

Guess the Starling 
response finally happened.
Indicates in the article that Subscriptions and CPAās can work through this as well so really am keen to know why Monzo seem to still not be able to do this (without a Plus/Premium VC anyway). Iām huge fan on Pay from Pots but is it just another case of Monzo releasing a feature then never revisiting it? and instead of revisit it just tell us it canāt be done.
Edit, i tell a fib, i just actually opened the Starling app and it says and I quote:
Apologies Monzo

has finally landed!
Although didnāt Anne say that she had something better? From an initial scan, this looks like bills pots but without taking from the main account if youāre short (which I think is probably not as good, but other people will prefer).

Where does it say this? It seemed very heavy on direct debits (and mentions standing orders in passing).

I think itās a bit ambiguous. It does say about subscriptions but also then says direct debits.

I just edited my post after actually redownloading the Starling app. It was the use of the term āsubscriptionsā in the blog post as @Revels alluded too after you.
My bad.

May just move all my stuff over to Starling now this is available, may hold off a few weeks though as Iāll need to be in the mood to manually move everything.

Hereās what the Starling app says:
Itāll be interesting to see if the payment is direct or if it does the current account shuffle like Monzo.

Unfortunately for me I still detest the design of the Starling home tab enough despite dark mode to make it a viable move for me as well as now being an avid user of VCās on Plus but I can see this how this can be the nail in the coffin for :mondo: for those on the fence.

Iām intrigued to see this as well, judging by them saying this:
Iād imagine they wonāt get the shuffle like us
However, they also say this further down:
But whether thatās a notification or a feed item is yet to be seen

Feels a bit dramatic. This is Starling coming towards feature parity - thatās excellent, but doesnāt do anything that the free Monzo account doesnāt so Iād have thought it wouldnāt have any demonstrable, large scale impact on movement been Monzo and Starling.
As ever, the competition is with the high street banks, so might accelerate movement from them.

Whatās the reasoning that things like Netflix canāt be taken from a space/pot? It seems to be a consistent issue.

For those on the fence between Monzo and Starling ā those who have been leaning towards the latter but couldnāt make the jump because they missed this feature will now be able to make the jump. I donāt think it was a general statement about all of Monzoās users flocking to starling
