I hate it, it’s the only reason I don’t use the pots. Not sure why Monzo keeps around arbitrary one working day legacy rust.

What savings pots have instant withdrawals? I don’t see any choice.

Normal Pots, yes i know they do not have interest.
but my point was not talking about interest.
Thanks for the response.
I think there needs to be more clarity and exposure than that in part because Monzo has an issue with the term flexible. Perhaps this is now historical but it seems to be you have, at least until recently, been using the term flexible as a synomym for easy access. The result of this is when you use the term flexible in relation to ISAs it can be unclear whether the term is being used as a synonym for easy access or if it is being used in relation to flexible ISA rules.
This applies to the screenshot you have shared. I think on screens like this you need to provide an explainer for “what does flexible mean” to make it clear you are really referring to flexible ISA rules rather than easy access terms. Most banks provide much better clarity than Monzo on this.
[EDIT - Just read a bit further down the screenshot and now realise there is reference to withdrawing and replacing money not affecting the ISA deposit limit. However, I think it would still be useful to start thi sentence with “What does flexible mean?”]
Also, when I am in the app, I don’t see a ‘What’s an ISA’ link next to the list of ISAs. As such I don’t seem able to access that screen.
Is it possible to make terms and conditions for the ISA accounts accessible via the community for the time being, at least until improvements are made which makes them accessible in-app in advance of account opening?
Does the new interest pots qualify as part of the 1.5% interest received if you have Monzo plus upto £4K
No the interest pots are held externally to Monzo so don’t form part of it.
Worth noting Monzo are not offering interest via Monzo plus now

Similar for when they were using ‘instant access’ when they initially released savings pots. They need to be clearer on their language, sometimes.
Hey Emma, this is part of the reason it took us longer than we liked to reduce the minimum deposit. We ran a bunch of tests reducing the minimum deposit for some users to see how the behaved with Monzo and our Savings Pots over the long term. We’re happy to go live as we’re confident we can balance the ratio with the increased amount put in Savings due to this and other changes.
I’ll ask the data scientist who worked on this if she’d be happy to do a write up at some point in the future if people are interested.

Amazing news! 
Now I can have all my savings pots with interest. One issue for me resolved, because for some it’s not that easy to start saving with £500 right away. This will help to get there. Thanks!

I set up one of these at the weekend, but “interest for september so far” is showing as 0. I assumed this would update each day, is that not the case?

I have done the same and was also wondering the same as you. Does anyone know?
Money is credited the next working day so that’s today and interest will be accrued from midnight tonight
