Hey everyone
We’ve been a bit quiet on here recently, but I’m excited to share some exciting news! In Core Experience, we’ve been improving some of our most core parts of the app to make them simpler and more user friendly
We’re currently working on improving the experience for sending money to someone else and we want you to be part of the journey!
After our last project, you gave us some feedback about wanting to try our features early so you didn’t have to wait for the full release. So… here we go! We’re still in the early stages of development, but starting today, you can head to Labs and enable our new Payments flow.
It currently only works for sending money to someone else on Monzo, but we’re working on expanding this to any account right now!
Some of the key things we’ll still be adding:
The ability to change the source account (Joint Account users, we see you )
The ability to schedule payments
Improved ways to find the payee you want to pay
Simpler ways to add amounts and references
As I said, we’re making this available early so not everything will be perfect and you’ll be able to toggle it off at any point to use the existing experience if needed. We’d love to hear feedback on how you find the new design - things you like, things you think we can still improve and anything else that comes to mind!
It’ll be available for everyone next week, or from today if you’re a Beta user. Head to Labs and turn on New Payments Flow ✨
As a heads up - as it always comes up in these things - the Feed item that you get after activating it doesn’t do anything even though it says “Tap to find out more”
I didn’t hit send - but the flow looks good, UI’s neater and cleaner for sure! Be good to see this expand!
I understand in the new flow I need to select an account to transfer from, but it would be good if maybe the current account is preselected, and the amount is prefilled.
Can you make it more simpler to see which account your moving money from. Half the time I think I’m moving money from my current account but ends up taking it out of my joint account, and then when I’m trying to pay into my partners account it ends up going into the joint account because for some reason my partners picture is on our joint account which is the same as his current account. It’s very confusing. It should be just a simple screen asking which account you want the money to move from and to who…. With a drop down bar of all my payees or something. We should also be able to have the option to edit our payees images so we can easily see who we’re paying
Hey @NickyPreston 100%! I’m sorry you’ve experienced this Making it easier to know which account you’re paying from is one of the key problems we’ll be solving for in this new flow. We’ll also be letting you easily switch the source, so you can jump between your Joint/Personal accounts.
Can’t wait until we implement this! It’s on our list, but we have some work we need to do first around getting the new flow working on all payment types first.
