Police AFOs (Authorised Firearms Officers) are not special police. They are regular police officers who have volunteered to carry firearms. They do not get paid any extra for this. They do get a lot of extra training.
Sure, I can look up Wikipedia too but there’s more than just the EU and western countries. Japan and Singapore doesn’t have their police routinely carry guns, for example- just tasers or batons. But we’re getting off-topic so I’ll stop here.
This thread is getting pretty long. Any chance of a phase 1.5 blog post to summarise where monzo is now and what’s next? For example what app changes are expected between now and customer launch?
My CA card should arrive shortly. I’m heading out of the country and won’t return until December. The roll out of the full CA is stated to start in a month’s time. Is there a risk that my prepaid and test CA cards could be deactivated while I am away?
Is anyone else having issues with push notifications? Some of my payments simply don’t trigger a notification and others are a lot more delayed than they are on the prepaid app
Haven’t used it loads as waiting for this months salary to be paid but got most of my Direct Debits moved (that was a bit of hassle as lots of phone calls) but its got all the promise of the pre-paid app so still instant spending notifications, targets, categories etc.
I’m looking forward to the Recurring payments section to get a bit more thought put into it but that’s been confirmed that it’s probably going to be done before general release and it needs it!
