Virtual Card - Pay From Joint Account

When creating a virtual card today it suddenly struck me - why can’t I have it pull from my joint account? All the other sources show up, and I have all the rights to use my joint account card anywhere I please, so why isn’t my joint account listed as a possible source of funds for a virtual card?

I know that Monzo have shown little progress on Joint Accounts for a long, long time (please won’t someone implement custom categories!), but, come on, how hard is it to add the joint account as a source of funds for a virtual card? At the user interface layer obviously absolutely and totally trivial. And while there’s probably some grubby permissions work to be solved in the backend, I refuse to believe that this could be that hard. Why can’t I use my own joint account as a source of funds for my own virtual card! It’s infuriating!

Progress really seems to have slowed to a half at Monzo. It’s a real shame. There are some small things they could do to really improve the user experience. I wonder if the burden of 1500 microservices is finally weighing on them.

Dispite being very careful where I input my card details I’ve now twice had to cancel my joint account card and have a new one sent out to to malicious overseas activity. It would be much easier for me to manage this myself with the virtual cards available, but for some reason that’s only available on my max account.
Virtual cards should be available on joint account, more so when both parties have paid current accounts!
