Well done guys slow roll out and nicely done.

Got my card and activated the current account yesterday. Added some money and will probably test it on Monday.

Best of luck :slight_smile: The speed does seem to have increased over the last few days (there are some graphs somewhere) so fingers crossed

Random question for those in the know…

So with the prepaid, would I be right in saying that the cards are or were sent out by Monzo themselves? Whereas the current account cards are sent out by an external producer (kind of dropshipping).

So at the moment there are ~400,000 prepaid cards and ~30k in the queue and at some point they are going to want to move over to the new current account when it goes full.

Question is this, do we know if it will be a phased move over or does their contract with the producer have the capacity to make such a move if everyone (or a large proportion) said yes on the same day and do we know what form the overlap between the two accounts being public is going to take? Otherwise waiting weeks for a card once ordered could be detrimental to the brand.

I would assume currents account going live would mean the prepaid product ceases to be sent out then there will be a run-down of the prepaid culminating in a switch off but do we know how long these overlaps and run-down periods will be? Obviously there should be enough time for people to have the opportunity to switch comfortably and to get the word out there that it’s happening.

It’s normal, Live Current Account Rollout Counter

Usually corrects itself by around 8am

There was a comment by Monzo in another thread that overnight maintenance of some sort changes the counter and as @ylt states, usually corrects itself by the morning. They did state they would freeze the counter overnight so it wouldn’t go backwards.

Not that I watched it all night but it take a drastic dip (500+) and then crept back up by a few 100s.
I initially thought my page hadn’t updated so kept refreshing. Even used a PC to check.
