Reading the description of the event ‘Monzo Labs’ it seems this promises to be pretty interesting. Looking forward to seeing what the mystery feature is that you guys will release on the night. Shame I work thursday evenings.
Will “joint accounts/pots” cover having the monzo version of a separate second account OR is this not even covered at all and this just relates to joint accounts and updates to pots?
We mean Pots shared between two Monzo accounts. Having a secondary account (with functionality beyond that of just having a Pot on your account) would be something separate.
Not sure how Bluetooth alone would do this. Surely the payee would need some way of receiving the money into their banking app? Otherwise you’d need bank details, which kinda negates the feature anyway…? Or is it just to identify people already in your payee list who happen to be with you?
It’s probably an encrypted unique identifier shared via bluetooth, useless on it’s own, but the Monzo app would then take this and match it on their end. Wouldn’t need any user/bank/value details to transfer over Bluetooth.
Something to do with NFC I would think as NFC has the ability to read cards and communicate with other devices… just a guess. Bluetooth would make less sense.
