Verve App (Previously Tail - the Cashback App)

Yes, unless you signed up ages ago and got the email just this morning, you won’t see the option for Monzo.

FWIW, I’m also getting the Android bug, where I grant access with Monzo in a browser, get a magic link email which bounces me back to Tail*, but Tail then errors out and goes back to asking me for my email.

* Well, my email client gives me the option to open in a browser or Tail, the browser option gives me what Danny screenshotted above. I use Firefox which is far less aggressive at auto-launching apps that are registered as URL handlers, it just gives you the option to launch the app if appropriate, which in this case just fails in the same way as if I’d just asked my email client to launch Tail directly.

Can anyone tell me what Tail and the shops/restaurants see from your banking data in return for the opportunity to have ‘offers’ plonked in front of your eyeballs?

Hey Michael,

We had some issues with the Android sign in, but we have already deployed a fix.

See if you can update the app and let me know if that works?

That’s cool that people can use Monzo on Tail. Are they the Tail beta users that can access Monzo or something?

That’s correct, we are now onboarding more Beta users from our waiting list (www.tail.at)

Updated the app and now it works, thanks, although it crashed shortly after pairing, it remembered the pairing and worked after a restart.

I last got an email in July 2017. I guess I was somehow removed despite linking to my Starling.

Can we remove a bank? I don’t use Starling so it’s not connected. So I always have this message:

Just registered, looking forward to offers in South Wales and with bigger uk brands hopefully.
