We just updated our roadmap! (Last update: 14/8/18)

And I take it mine is invalid then? - An argument isn’t just 1’s right, 1’s wrong. Take the nature vs nuture conundrum. Or, to stay on topic, you could argue why not get 1 engineer to do the quick fix until the big change happens?

This is a matter of opinion & preference. - Which is why I said “unless I’m missing something?”. That was an invitation for a counter point.

I’ve been saying this all along too. It makes zero sense to take the sole 1 engineer off Coin Jar let alone put it on the “backburner”.

P.S. I’m one of the last people in this forum who needs to be schooled on the virtues of a good debate.

You seem to be a little bit obsessed with the idea that Monzo should improve Pots just because Revolut’s Vaults have additional functionality but that’s not how this works:

  • users haven’t requested all of that functionality
  • Revolut isn’t Monzo’s competition right now (the high street banks are)
  • Monzo doesn’t build features / functionality just because other companies build it

As the team has said, there are other things that are a higher priority. They’re never going to have infinite resources to build everything we could imagine so they will always have to pick & choose. That means that their decision not to make this change right now doesn’t indicate a lack of resource, it indicates a different focus, which is informed by information that we don’t have access to. You’re just going to have to accept that, rather than suggesting that they’re doing something wrong by not hiring another engineer for this.

I mentioned 6 reasons… 5 that have nothing to do with Revolut, yet you focus solely on the competition element. Feature parity and benchmarking is perfectly reasonable.

I’m just not going to engage with you as we’ve gone back and forth on this in multiple threads.

In your last response we agreed to disagree. Let’s leave it at that because we’re on different wavelengths.

I’m publicly also going to request that you refrain from interacting with me in this forum. You’re too partial which is even worse given you’re a leader.

That’s up to you. But since this is a forum, every user is free to reply to you, sharing different perspectives is one of the reasons why we’re here. So I will continue to reply to your posts. I hope that you’ll continue reply to me too - someone needs to point out the flaws in my ‘incredibly biased’ comments :wink:

Please don’t waste your time and mine.

It’s not just your biased posts that are frustrating, but the fact that across multiple threads you ask/say the same thing even you you’ve had a response to it.

Example being 10 hours ago in the £1,000,000 Coin Jar thread I responded to this same “Revolut obsession” comment with this:


For the sake of my own sanity I don’t want to go around in circles with you.

4 posts were split to a new topic: Are the other challengers Monzo’s competition?

I just realised category splitting isn’t in the roadmap at all - I thought that was going to happen?

@hugo said it “could happen as part of category review in the next few months” in 2016.

Roadmap update!

We’ve moved Apple Pay (was “Mobile NFC Payments”) to Done.

In case you can’t tell we’re very very very very excited about this.

Here’s the blog post:

Shame about the rename. So Monzo have ruled out any other NFC payment methods? Samsung Pay, Garmin Pay, Fitbit Pay?

The rename is a good thing. It means they can still add other payment methods to the roadmap. If they hadn’t renamed it, then that’d have said everything’s done.

Yep, we’ll add the remaining NFC methods to the roadmap once we’ve got an idea of the timings on those :+1:

So then - can you say what all the secrecy was about?

Unlikely - some NDAs have provisions that never expire, and Apple is known to very secretive.
