I’d really like to see budget durations for specified days. Such as the last Friday of every month in addition to monthly or every 4 weeks. Would love to see a credit card too.

I’d like to see Pots get a few more features this year and a bit of a visual cleanup.
The top part of the screen (around the title/pot total) is too cluttered when the pot is an interest earning pot and when you have a savings goal too.
The iOS app custom image alignment tool for pots is still square instead of rectangular.
I’d like to see a return of the goal progress bar in some form too, and things like having a date attached to a goal etc. If a progress bar could also be shown on the pots overview screen without significantly reducing the number of pots you can see at once that would be good too.
Also to have a visual of how your savings have been progressing over time would be cool.

PLEASE add IBAN/Swift and Cheque imaging.
These are basics in all other banks. ALL!
Even Starling added these very quick but still not in Monzo after years??
This is why I won’t go full Monzo. I can’t get paid from US to Monzo as they won’t allow Wise (I wouldn’t use a third party anyway)
Please add these basics into Monzo.
Been with you since Beta waiting for these.
I even remember IBAN “being planned” but then removed from plans…

So we’re just ending the seventh (!) week of the year and what better time than a quick look at how things are going.
i have to say I’m pretty disappointed at the pace of Monzo delivery. In those seven weeks we’ve only had a (partial) rollout of a years view in Trends. Come on Monzo.
It’s even more of a pity, considering that this period should have had some development stacked up from the Christmas pause. I think back on what the former Monzo product person said in their exit blog:
Just in the past few months we’ve shipped three Zero to One products: Monzo Flex, Monzo Pay and Monzo Trends. These new products are doing great. And we’ve already shipped tons of improvements to these brand new products.
I can’t help but think this was a little bit of a pat on the back when, in reality, Flex hasn’t been formally launched yet (and isn’t widely available) and Trends is still not available to everyone (unless @projectfortytwo is somehow mistaken). I don’t know anything about Monzo Pay, not being the target market.
My point isn’t to call out a vainglorious post but to say that, from a customer perspective, there’s still much further to go. Seven weeks in to the year and a marginal change to an existing feature is not velocity.
Anyway, let’s see how expectations are tracking with reality:
- Flex will fully launch
- Pay for Flex, and Plus and Premium, from Pots
- Direct payments from Pots launched
- 6 million users!
(reached at 2314 on February 9th: (The race to SIX MILLION users is over - #169 by AlanDoe))
- Summary is retired
- Different time periods in Trends (e.g. weeks, years, custom) (that a generous tick as it’s still rolling out!)
- Cheque imaging (I know I put this in my predictions as a curve ball - I must have been on the Christmas sherry).
- The forum will survive a year (so far!)
- Budgeting moves out of Summary (not yet - will the Summary/Trends/Budgeting/Left to Spend quagmire ever be resolved?)
- Monzo offers stocks and shares (or other investment products) (reminder: Monzo set this expectation - now they need to deliver on it).
- No one from the C Suite will post on the forum (so far!)
- Plus / Premium for joint accounts (sobs in @davidwalton)
- 7 million users (that’s actually an assumption as and we’re unlikely to know when it is hit, so shrug
)
- A proper web interface (unless you’re a business customer!)
- Payment directly between Pots / connected accounts
- Native international transfers in the app (with an IBAN)
- Master feed, aggregating different accounts or pots
- There will be (at least) one update email for investors (one popped into the inbox on 13th January)
- Enriched merchant data is updated / accurate again. :?: *(my app says no, but at least it’s not being totally ignored right now…)
- Tablet apps (come on now, this really won’t be on the 2022 to-do list, surely?)
- A founder will leave (Jonas is still with the company, and even popped up on a recent podcast).
- Pay in cash at the post office
- Removal of the blue buttons below the cards on the feed (I suspect this is a design decision that’ll never actually be realised. Le sigh)
- Monzo offers crypto products (
)
- Monzo will announce a profitable run rate
- No physical card by default (orderable for free)
- One or more of the C suite will leave (Chief Product Officer heads off)
- Monzo closes US operations (in fact, the US has exited beta!)
… I’ll leave the rest because we’re into diminishing returns!

Not sure where else I should look for this. I have Home / Plus / Pay / Help tabs at the bottom of the screen. If I tap on the pie chart icon at the top of the screen I see “left to spend” and budgeting options. Nothing in Monzo labs to select. Any pointers?

What app version are you on?
(click the cog top right when in the list view, it’s at the very bottom)
4.19.0 on Android.
I don’t think you’re mistaken. If you don’t have it, it’s not there!
@AlanDoe anything you could do to raise this internally? More generically, could you confirm if everyone should have Trends now?

These are majority things people have requested or want, not what Monzo has committed to, so can’t be too disappointed in wishful thinking

Just popped in over here to see if it’s worth an update to this list. I don’t think anything has shifted in the last two months, despite the excellent Savings feature in Trends…
I’m still a little concerned about pace of delivery. I wonder if there’s fundamental rebuilding happening in the backend?
That said, there are initial signs in teardowns of investments, and some UI tweaks, coming 
soon. (h/t @davidwalton).

You really need to stop with this line. Because you’re not seeing everything doesn’t mean the pace has changed. Even staff have told you that this isn’t the case.
One example of this is the new flow/improvements around the higher-transfer-limit-request thingy. Also the work to defer the initial payment of the Flex process, and rollout/investigation of that. Along with the work on building tooling to help with merchant data, and the wider rollout of lending tools.
Just because you don’t see everything, doesn’t mean the pace has slowed at all.
