"Between approximately 11am and 6pm tomorrow (Saturday August 19th), you’ll be unable to send bank transfers to other people and incoming transfers will be delayed until after 6pm.
We will keep this message up to date throughout and update it as soon as bank transfers are working again.
We hope this doesn’t cause too much inconvenience — thank you for all you’ve done helping us test the Current Account Preview so far!"
I’m just wondering in the future when Monzo launches the current account, will this be a regular thing or will Monzo have a way of doing maintance without taking systems offline?
The problem with money is keeping the ledger up to date and it is often much easier to just stop things while you fix stuff rather than worrying about money arriving and not being credited to peoples accounts.
I’d imagine they will sort something out in the future but hey, at least they let us know!
Thanks for putting this up here - my card just arrived this morning so I haven’t been looking at maintenance pages and was contemplating transferring some money. I guess I may have worried a bit when it didn’t arrive on time with no explanation.
Am also interested in where/who the supplier is in relation to Monzo’s infrastructure. Will this be commonplace after launch? Things looked like there was redundancy built in when I saw some presentations.
