Turning off debit card top-ups for new users

[jzw95]

I was going to suggest the same as @alexs: the best thing would be to use Open Banking to allow pulling money from other bank accounts from within the Monzo app. Samantha mentioned this in the original post on reducing the cost of debit card top-ups, and I really think it’s the way to go:

@SamanthaD

we’re also exploring ways to make adding money even smoother, like the Current Account Switch Service, as well as the opportunities that the forthcoming Open Banking initiative offers. Imagine being able to trigger bank transfers from your other bank accounts from within the Monzo app.

Any update on how likely this is to feature in the app one day?
