So I have just migrated to Monzo and loving it, especially how the transactions are so detailed.
I am also in the process of writing a tool to analyse my bank accounts to see where money goes… I wonder would it be possible if I could supply a CSV of my legacy accounts over the last number of months and get them augmented by Monzo.
I mean, would you guys take my CSV file and return another file with the advanced details for each transaction… would you be willing to that as a one off for customers?
I don’t think this is something Monzo would do but I wonder if it could be achieved via the API. I’m not sure if you can use their retailer database through it yet.
As far as I’m aware, the API only gives developers the ability to create feed items, not transaction entries.
I’ve just come across this quote from Simon though, about the open banking standard & what it’ll mean for Monzo users in the future
in the meantime, I expect a manual import would be complex (mapping the columns in your csv export to Monzo’s database) & too time consuming to do on an individual basis. That’s assuming that your file even has all of the information that Monzo needs for transaction entries but hey, there’s no harm in asking
We’ve not got any ability to create “historic transactions” yet, but it’s something we’ve talked about. If the CMA OBS, or some kind of enhanced CASS (current account switching service) makes large quantities of historic transaction data generally available, i think we’d definitely support importing it into Monzo. /2c
I don’t think it is on Android, correct me if I am wrong. Suggest Monzonauts always say in their comments or replies if they talking about Android or Apple’s iOS (or perhaps at some later date Windows 10 Phone)
