It’s our 9th birthday this weekend 
A lot of you have been there since the very start, so let’s hear what your favourite Monzo moment has been?

Favourite moment was the release of Flex!
I love carrot cake personally! Where shall I send my address? 
Chocolate cake!
Favourite moment was when Pots allowed us to add our own photos. Absolute chaos of imagination and humour, and I was most definitely there for it.
Oh: Black Forest Gateaux

Not a favourite moment, more of a regret. This was back when Monzo cards were rare (early prepaid era). I’d travelled to the US and was in a relatively out of the way part of California, at a local store in Morro Bay. The person in front of me paid with a Monzo card - easy to tell with the Hot Coral. I really wish I’d said something but it would have been an awkward conversation to start!
The best birthday cake has the correct ratio of icing to cake.

I have to agree with @BristolMatt. Flex has been a game changer for me. The neon cards was also a highlight. Gutted I don’t have one anymore. 
I love Red Velvet cake, but cakes cake. I’ll eat any pretty much any cake (except Carrot).

Feature: Bills pots - absolute game changer.
The one I’ll be chomping into tomorrow 
As it’s my b/day tomoz, I wonder if I can get away with saying that the new thingamajig will be fantastic

Bills pots changed the way I manage my finances and I’ve never looked back. Best feature/moment by far.
I love Flex too. I’ve binned off Klarna, PayPal and most of my credit cards in favour of Flex.

I’ll be playing Pin the chip on the Hot Chip at my personal Monzo celebration this weekend. And maybe a some Musical Pots (move your money from pot to pot until the music stops). 
Will finish off with a game of Virtual Cards Against Humanity…
Birthday cake - Iced Madeira. That’s the important question.
Monzo moment - got to be the second iteration of the app design closely followed by the newest one. The engagement was superb and has been superb.
Of course, if @rossmonzo or @AlanDoe lets slip before the weekend on what’s next for plus/premium that might change things.
Happy birthday Monzo
A while ago moment was the big list. That was such fun.
A recent moment is mortgages in Monzo and what the team have managed to do from a credit file! Impressive.

Haaapppppy Birthday! I presume a ninth birthday involves sweets, a climbing frame and some pirate ship Lego. So enjoy 
My favourite bit was the person that made a custom pot image generator and worked with the forum to tweak it. So very cool.

Happy birthday! 
I’d have to say fully switching to Monzo and taking advantage of the features that allowed us to better manage our joint finances; pots in general, especially bills pots, shared tabs and trends, which really are a gamechanger.
I also loved the engagement around cashback and the new UI.
Birthday cake: anything with coconut!

Well in my case it’s inferred from Ross’s posting in the thread about plus/premium plus also talk of a new card.

Happy 9th Birthday. So glad to be a part of Monzo. Best bits were Monzo becoming a real bank and not been pre paid, plus the creation of flex!!!
Just wish all customers received a plushy with our cards! lol

Long time lurker, very occasional contributor, but congratulations on turning 9!
Flex has been a really great example of Monzo applying their own creative flair to an existing product, and the participation of the team in the forum has been great to see.
I also (possibly controversially) really like the current app redesign, and again, seeing that evolution in the forum has been really fun. I’ve found it invaluable in getting a more cohesive view of my finances.
Very niche, and obviously now causing some problems with new product launches, but I remember when joint accounts launched. My partner and I signed up as soon as we could, and even though we weren’t living together at the time, putting our joint expenditure (dining, and takeaways – so many takeaways!!) felt like that ‘next step’ in our relationship.
