That was … interesting. Geddit? Geddit?
Hello…?
Anyway, there was mention about the Bank of England and banks lending to/borrowing from them. I’d quite like it if this was expanded upon, essentially an explanation of how a bank operates/makes money I guess, but it might be worthy of its own article?

Thanks for this.
It’s a really useful guide and answered a few questions for me.
Monzo may well become my portal for finance guides as well as money.

Interesting… Any idea when the Monzo pots will start earning interest?
I’ve been seeing and hearing about it for months but not able to start earning yet.
Thanks

Hi everyone
As you might have seen in our recent @MakingMonzo tweet , we’ve been working on a way for you to get interest paid on your savings in Monzo. And we’re ready to take an important step towards bringing that feature to everyone!
Today, we’ll start testing this out with real users (after the staff testing we’ve been doing for a couple of weeks).
To help us understand how people will use it, and to make sure everything works properly, we’re going to test this out with 12,000 rand…
