I would have expected a more even split for the preview too but according to Tristan it just hasn’t worked out that way (the split filling out the interest form).
At some point I imagine this will become larger remote batch offers to sign up/convert and that’s when I expect it will more closely reflect the prepay ratio 55/45.
Makes sense, they should do one up north tbh, I’ve seen someone say on here they were travelling from Scotland for it (dedication!!) Why not come to Manchester again later in the year?
I just expected everyone to be really enthusiastic about trying the CA out but I guess they saw they had to travel to London and didn’t finish applying or something like that
I’m heading down Tuesday from Yorkshire! Not sure I would have done so from Scotland unless it tied in with other activities. A northern sign up would have been perfect. Will likely be remote sign ups the day after I get back
this seemed like the best place to ask, whats the reason that you have to go to London offices to open the current account? is this likely to change soon at all so you can do it online/through the app?
Eventually (in the very near future ) Monzo will shift towards sending debit cards via the post!
It’s currently being tested but in the mean time while the numbers are low / the current accounts are just getting started, Monzo want to keep a good level of control on sign ups, etc.
A few people have started receiving magical letters through their doors!
I think the main reason is to stress the pitfalls of it at the moment and give people the chance to wait for the tried and tested account in a few months
I’ve been invited for the current account rollout for Android in London but I cant make the dates available. Can someone point me in the right direction of letting someone else take my place and i’ll try again in the next round? @tristan or @Naji maybe?
Not sure my friend is interested enough to join an auction. Was more that I’m already going and he was already coming with me and meets all the Android criteria (except having an invite which he doesn’t).
Though I have not had a response yet if he is actually allowed to accompany me without an invite (he will be pretty bored stood outside for an hour)
