It’s final time!
Without further ado, here are the results of the Monzo Community Jury:
1. Best Monzo Launch UK
- Flex available for all
- Flex takes first instalment next month, not immediately
- Overview (new Home Screen) in Labs
@TheoGibson and team romp home with a convincing one-two knock out. @emmag and @leepethers put in a compelling third placed, albeit last minute, entry for the new home screen though!
Huge contracts to both teams

2. Best Monzo Launch US
-
Monzo US Exits Beta!
-
Joint Account Beta
It could never be anything else could it?! Monzo’s first (of many?) international expansion went live in 2022.
And then made the UK folk sad by powering through to joint accounts, too. It got so bad I had to Monzo @davidwalton some money for a comfort animal.
US seems to be powering through. Really keen to see what happens in 2023 and the States
3. Best Community Moment
- Free neon cards for the community!!
- Three launches in 24 hours! (Mortgage cards in Labs, new Overview home screen in Labs, Targets)
- @emmag reveals what that odd thing in the app was all about…
Could never really be anything else, could it? Everyone loves a freebie. But more multi-launch days please, that was fab! And closing the circle on that early homepage design was a class act
4. Most Suffering Monzonaut
We turn to the @AlanDoe vs @jackcully grudge match. Who wins?
- @AlanDoe for putting up with the lot of us (and having to do the occasional forum equivalent of “mop up on aisle 7”).
- @JackCully for the Forum Emojis incidents
It’s Alan! Thanks Alan for everything you do around these parts! And well done Jack. I think the restraining order worked wonders!
5. Best Community Engagement
- @TheoGibson and the Flex team!
- The App Evolution Team
- The Community Team
It’s @TheoGibson and team! A glorious and well deserved win, but again contested hotly by @emmag, @leepethers and folk.
Given how I’ve treated @TheoGibson during the course of this poll, he was very nearly also the a late entrant and automatic winner for Most Suffering Monzonaut.
Sorry for all of that Theo and Team - it definitely was not on purpose! Loving your work
6. Most Anticipated New Feature
- Investments in Monzo
- Flex physical card
- Full roll out of the Overview home page
Sadly, Theo didn’t quite make it the hat-trick! But investments seems mysterious and interesting… We haven’t heard from the deep-under-cover investments team on here yet, so here’s hoping that they’ll break cover (and compete for Best Community Engagement in 2023).
And yes, I think we’re all looking forward to getting physical!
7. Best Logo
Classic Monzo!
Hot coral Monzo!
Finally a massive thank you to everyone on here, and everyone at Monzo. It’s been a cracking year! Prizes (such as they aren’t) may or may not be coming in the new year!
And well done to all the finalists and prize-winners. You da best!
PS, I’ll unhide the original thread with the votes in, and merge this one into it, tomorrow.
