Trends - a big update to the Monzo experience

This works for me. It’s an absolute nightmare to keep on top of as pot movements are automatically classed as ‘transfers’ (except round ups)so lots of recategorising is required.

I look at transfers as solely between Monzo and non-Monzo accounts and should always balance to £nil; that way the ‘Savings’ category is a true reflection of the net position of my deposits and withdrawals.

Took me an absolute age to find a way that made it work how I wanted it to - it’s not an easy one.

I think this is an example of where Monzo needs to offer flexibility for us to do as we’d like. They can help that by letting us set a default category for transfers to/from each pot, but other than that, I think don’t impose any other model.

(For example, I differ from you by categorising transfers to pots I use for savings as, well, Savings, whereas set aside moneys - like bills pots - just get treated as Transfers).

Because the bot is an unreliable witness.

Absolutely this :+1:. Having to reclassify 15 or so transactions on my ‘Salary Sort’ day each month just because they automatically default to ‘transfers’ is a nightmare.
