Upgrade (Migration) Updates

Got my card and transferred over. Annoying that my PIN has changed.

No coral core :disappointed: But it’s even more hot coral than my BETA card! :sunglasses:

Any news on overdrafts? It’s says that I can’t be offered one. I’m almost never in it but I like the safety blanket of one.

The help screen should definitely have an FAQ/this is what the Current Account can do. I don’t want to have to “Discover” features and definitely like to get the most out of this new kind of bank.

Wasn’t expecting my card until next week. Upgraded later on Wednesday, card was through the door today (Friday).

Well done Monzo! Pat on backs all round! \o/

Yeah the cards (at least the prepaid) tend to fade over time so the new CA one looks like “hotter” coral. :heart_eyes:

You on a different calendar to us?

Yep. Same for me. I need overdraft just in case… to cover Direct Debits…

My Nationwide card - 078FA5EB-7B25-4804-8A6F-5B9ED921F321

You get a new PIN with any new card. Just change it when you get to an ATM.

They’re still a few months away!

Overdrafts are planned. No news yet :wink:

Be gentle. My brain tricked me into thinking today was Friday, and now I realise I have work tomorrow…

I meant Tuesday / Thursday (to my dismay).

I know it’s a different card linked to a different account but I just memorised my PIN!

I actually received a check as a refund from a late train today with my Monzo card, good thing my legacy account is open…

One of the really cool features of Starling was that you can set your pin before you receive the card and add a virtual card to your Apple Wallet and start spending. Still wasn’t enough for me to keep it though

Setting PIN on card order is a feature we’ll add soon ™

@Haitch you can change your PIN at most ATMs, look for “PIN Services” in the menu :slight_smile:

My wife moved to CA from PP last week her PIN wasn’t changed. When she got her card was bit confusing because there was no PIN sms so got in touch with COop when they sent a reminder realised it wasn’t changed.

I got asked to choose my PIN number when I converted from prepaid to current account.

But you already do ask this in the app. I just upgraded to the CA the other night and if I remember correctly you can’t actually proceed with the order until you’ve chosen a pin.

So yeah I’m confused why some people are complaining about PIN changes. Does it not get set to the one we choose? I haven’t received my card yet so can’t verify yet, should have it tomorrow I hope.

I was offered the opportunity to set my PIN on card order. Very nice. Great process generally.

Adding to Android Pay before receiving physical card would have been a nice bonus, as would using push notifications rather than SMS for the out of band component of Android Pay setup.

But still, absolutely beautiful process and pain free account opening. Also, a beautiful card even without the coral core. Same company as old Metro Bank cards used to be. Durable and good card!

The last 2 refunds for late trains have gone straight onto my Monzo card. Greater Anglia now allow you to provide card details when applying for the refund online and it goes straight on to the card a few days after it has been approved. This feature is being rolled out to other TOCs if it’s not available already.

This is obviously a measure of how generous and profligate you are, whipping your card out at every opportunity :grin:

Actually mine stays hidden in the back of my wallet most of the time but is definitely looking a little more beige and weary after just 3 months (1st gen CA, I think). Cleary not a very stable material to dye.

Does anyone else have this issue, after the upgrade to the CA on iOS the app keeps logging me out.

Are you using the Finger ID?? I have been having the same issue, it looks like you have been logged out. However If you fully quite the app and try again it opens up.

I’m also wondering about overdrafts - us Android lot don’t even have any option to apply. The app’s hardly changed (for the end user) in a year.

I didn’t think I needed an overdraft but then two direct debits got rejected because they were on the same day as payday!

turn off touch ID on app open

should be fixed in the next release
