Wowee.
Though this is a bit cutting.
“Shocking-pink” or “shocking, pink”?!

So glad they mentioned millennials in the first line, now I know it’s definitely an article about Monzo

How do they refer to us oldies that aren’t millennial that seem to be quite a few.

It warps their narrative too much so we are largely ignored

Sorry, can you speak up a bit. My hearing isn’t what it was.

Maybe you should be flattered that they are calling all Monzo customers young

I love how the article keeps jumping between £ and $. Pick a currency and stick to it please, it confuses my not-millennial old brain.

So I have to ask… short term unsecured loans? Accel Partners who backed Wonga?
“Monzo you’re not going to be offering 5000% loans are you?, no not Monzo?”

Spread the cost
They gave Wonga cash, doesn’t mean they had any say in the business
I know in my heart, it’s just not Monzo.

Out of curiosity (and to honest brand pride) anyone hazzard a guess as to market valuation of Starling?

Too much about them is hidden, how could you even guess a price?

Wonder if Monzo are waiting to hit 1 million accounts before announcing this.
Either way looks like it’s true along with the guardian article

I’m assuming that there might be a crowdfunding round to go with any speculative future funding round…? 
(btw, were you the very first Crowdcube investor?!)
(PS @glasgow @Dannytc @Jackcrwhitney - any chance of merging these threads?)

The Guardian article refers to “high-interest savings accounts” which is promising, the other threads assumed they’d be < 1% given Monzo take their fee out of the interest too. Here’s hoping for something competitive (I think the highest quick-access savings account is just 1.4% at the moment though, or 3% or 5% with some bank accounts on a fixed term).
