From a business perspective, sadly Starling are way ahead of the curve on this. I’ve dealt with pretty much all the banks over time, and it’s such a nightmare to get started and to run the account that anything would be an improvement. I don’t do much EU business as of late, but I can’t see any major competition EU wise.

I’m not sure that looking at someone’s energy DD will allow Monzo to know that Bulb would save them money.
+1 for not having my transaction feed polluted with offers.

Oh, so they released it. Last I heard they were waiting on a weekday because CS support load increases and they need developers on hand to fix any showstopper bugs that occur. 
I thought that’d been out for weeks…
It has on Android.
iOS version has been waiting for approval for ages
Version 0.60.0
So they’re still in Beta then?
Ooh, I’ll try and contain my usual rant at the ridiculous concept of a bank account being ‘in beta’.

I think the latest statement from them (as of August) is that they don’t consider themselves in beta.
I think card release would have been a nice time to move to version 1.0

If version numbers still meant anything, then it would seem so. Sadly, they no longer do in many places.

I posted the wrong link but they claim they’re not in beta. The whole 0.x.x thing is just how they version things.
I’ll see if I can find the right link

Maybe they’re trying to claim a first for never progressing to 1

Maybe they’re waiting for a milestone for a vanity 1.0 release? But ultimately I’m not sure that version numbers matter all that much, especially to users, to be honest.

It’s good that they understand counting but will it just go 0.99 then 1.0? Seems anticlimactic. Maybe they’re leaving the 1.0 for the next owners instead of being feature related

0.100.0 follows 0.99.0. No need to go to 1.0.0 for ages.

Would love to see Monzo introduce and maintain a list like this.

This is brilliant - I’d also love Monzo to do something similar.
