Monzo - Mobile Banking

It’s a truth universally acknowledged that an app in possession of a good eng team, must bash some bugs of a night. (With apologies to Jane Austen and her 250th birthday this year. Also we did some general maintenance.)

Instead of fixing bugs the way we normally do, we tried to use a humane bug catcher. But we couldn’t figure out how to get it into our computer...? So just the normal inhumane bug fixes and system maintenance.

Out, damned bug! out, I say!-Lady Macbeth, Scene 1, App release: 6.21.0

To put an end to the speculation: we will not be the new Bond. We will continue to fix bugs and do general maintenance, like we just did.

Dough, a term, a money term
Ray, a guy who joined our team
Me, a writer, who's writing this
Bug, a thing that is now gone!

We converted a spring cleaning checklist into an app to do list. Empty and clean bins > general maintenance. Sweep the ceiling for cobwebs > bug fixes. Clean windows and mirrors > over to you, maybe wipe off your phone screen?

Shall I compare thee to a bug-free app? Thou art more speedy and more maintained. (If Shakespeare could make up words, we can too. Also we fixed some bugs).

No, I don’t want no bugs, a bug in our code can’t get no love from me. (Minor bug fixes and general maintenance)

You need protein to maintain, not just to gain. Our app is pretty shredded rn. (That’s bug fixes and system maintenance in gym talk.)

This Is Just To Say* We have fixed the bug / that was in / our app / and which / you were probably / not even / noticing / All done now / system maintenance / bugs fixed / and now this (*but read the real one by William Carlos Williams)

Big news! Urgh that should be bug news. We fixed some bugs.

When I say ‘bug’ you say ‘fixes’, BUG — Did you say it? I hope so. Not much else to report. Just system maintenance.

It’s important to cut negativity out of your life. So we said goodbye to some bugs. We deserve better and so do you.

BIG news: I changed the lightbulb in my bathroom. I’ve been putting it off for weeks, but there’s only so many times you can keep putting shea butter hand cream on your toothbrush, y'know? Oh, app updates? Nothing to report. Just the usual bug fixes and maintenance.

We're keeping things ship-shape with some maintenance and bug fixes. No splashy new features just yet. Good things come to those who wait.

No updates for you this week, we've been busy with general maintenance.

Did you know that there are two cash machines in Antarctica? They're both located at the McMurdo Station US Antarctica research centre. Only one of them is in use at a time, with the other one being there for parts or spare things they might need to keep its neighbor alive and operational.

Thanks for using Monzo! Your banking app's running smoother than ever after some bug fixes and minor improvements.

Nil. Nada. Nought. Three words which are fun to say out loud and also mean absolutely nothing.

What we’re really trying to say is, there’s nothing much to update you on this week, outside of the usual bug fixes and maintenance.

We've got nothing that exciting to tell you this week. Unless you find app maintenance exciting. In which case, you're our kind of people.

In the words of Whitney Houston, we have "nothing, nothing, nothing" much to update you on. Since we're on the song theme, there's nothing major going on this week, just some minor bug fixes (sorry).

Nothing exciting to tell you about this week, just general maintenance. But that’s okay with us. After all, if every day was your birthday, would the cake still taste as good?

No big news this week, folks – just the usual fixes. Check out the rest of this page for the good stuff…

Nothing exciting to tell you about this week, just general maintenance. But that's okay with us. After all, if every day was your birthday, would the cake still taste as good?

Here's something of interest... We've increased our Savings rate to 4.00% APY

Popped by to find out what's going on? We've mostly been squashing bugs.

Oh, you're one of those people who reads this thing? Well, hi. Nice to see you. We're just over here doing some maintenance

Some weeks there's nothing specific to tell you about, and the update is that we've been doing general maintenance. This is one of those weeks.

Nothing much to report this week, we've just been doing general maintenance. Well, they do say no news is good news.

Not much to share this week. We've just been busy polishing up the app.

Nothing to see here, folks. We've just been maintaining the Monzo app this week.

Stopped by to find out what's new? We've just been fixing bugs and maintaining the app this week. We'll try and make it more exciting for you next time.

Updates for this week – bugs, fixed. And general stuff, maintained. Check back next week to see what’s new. We’ll see you then.

Roses are red, violets are blue, we've made some bug fixes, especially for you

Nothing groundbreaking to report this week. We’ve been debugging away, making sure everything’s running smoothly for you. That’s all for now.

We've fixed a crash that could affect a small number of users.

Nothing exciting to tell you about this week, just general maintenance. But that’s okay with us. After all, if every day was your birthday, would the cake still taste as good?

Sometimes, the less said, the better. This week = app maintenance.

Some things come in small packages. Like this update. We're just over here fixing bugs.

Our engineers are pleased to confirm that all bugs have been exterminated. We thank them for their service.

Nothing to see here folks (except some general maintenance). We've just been fixing what needs fixing.

No major updates this week, folks. We've just been keeping those pesky bugs at bay.

Not every week is filled with big news. And it’s one of those weeks. We’ve been busy behind the scenes – doing a little general maintenance here. Fixing a few bugs there. It’s those little things that count.

No updates this week outside of general maintenance, so we’re coming in hot with more money trivia. The term ‘piggy bank’ is thought to originate from the Old English word ‘pygge’ – a type of clay used to make containers that held money. So now you know.

We've got nothing that exciting to tell you this week. Unless you find app maintenance exciting. In which case, you're our kind of people.

This week, we've been crushing (virtual) bugs faster than you can say 'Is it payday yet?'

Bugs, banished. General stuff, maintained. That's all for this week folks.

No big updates this week – just our set menu of bug-fixing and maintenance-ing.

Let's give a hand to all the engineers fixing bugs and doing general maintenance this week. It's the little things that help make our app what it is.

Get paid early by switching your direct deposit to Monzo! You can now securely connect to your payroll account and automatically send your paycheck into your Monzo account. To setup, tap the "+" button from Home and select "Switch your direct deposit".

As the saying goes, time is money. So we've taken the time to make sure your money is safe with some general maintenance this week. See you soon!

If we had special updates every single week, they wouldn't feel so special. This week's been all about keeping the basics brilliant and bug-free. See you soon!

Like Lil Wayne, we’ve always got money on our mind. Unlike Lil Wayne, we’re mostly focused on ensuring you can access yours via your banking app securely. This week was no different, with some general maintenance to keep things running as they should. See you next week.

As the saying goes, time is money. So we’ve taken the time to make sure your money is safe with some general maintenance this week. See you soon! 

Bugs may be a vital part of our planet’s ecosystem, but they don’t belong in an operating system. We’ve banished our virtual ones, but think twice before squashing any you see in the wild. Until next time!

It’s the little things that matter. Which is why we’ve been busy maintaining and de-bugging the app this week. See you next week – same time, same place. 

General maintenance may not make the front page of the papers, but it keeps the app running smoothly. See you in a week!

General maintenance may not make the front page of the papers, but it keeps the app running smoothly. See you in a week!

We’ve been busy keeping the app shipshape, so it’s always smooth sailing for you. 

We’ve fixed a bug that made the app look like a past version of itself for a small number of users.

It’s one of those weeks where we’ve been busy sprucing, spring-cleaning and de-bugging the app.

General maintenance again this week. We do have a money-related fact though.

In the Middle Ages, people saved money in jars and dishes made out of orange clay called 'pygg'. By the 19th century, potters made pig shaped containers when asked to make pygg banks, and that's how they became the pink ceramic pigs we have today.

It’s one of those weeks where we haven’t got much to share with you. But that doesn’t mean we’ve not been busy squashing bugs and spinning up new things behind the scenes. Stay tuned.

It’s another one of those weeks. We’re busy bug fixing and keeping everything ticking along. Because of that, there’s nothing big to tell you about. Until next time…

"Nothing" is a song by English rock band A, released as the first single from their third album Hi-Fi Serious. Nothing is also what we have in the way of updates, it's been a week of bug fixes and general maintenance.

We're back with our usual round of bug fixes and improvements this week. Nothing too flashy, just keeping things running smoothly.

We’re keeping busy with some maintenance this week. Your app should feel fresher than laundry right out of the dryer.

No big updates this time around. Consider us your virtual clean-up crew, sweeping away pesky bugs so you can enjoy an app that's well-oiled. See you next week.

We're keeping things ship-shape with some maintenance and bug fixes. No splashy new features just yet. Good things come to those who wait.

Let’s start the new year right: Join Monzo and share your referral link with friends. You can earn $15 for every friend you invite!
We’ve made an update to our Plaid authentication flow making it easier to log into other banks and apps and maintain persistent connections.

[Insert generic ‘What’s new’ text here. Something about how we don’t have any big updates this week, apart from the bugs we fixed. Oh, and make it funny, LOL. ]

We’ve fixed some bugs. But why do we call them ‘bugs’? Thomas Edison used the term in the late 19th century to describe electrical flaws. But its more recent origins can probably be traced back to 1947 and Harvard University. Programming pioneer Grace Hopper and her team found a moth inside the Harvard Mark II computer. It was causing all sorts of havoc, so they removed it, stuck it in a logbook, and labelled it, “(the) first actual case of bug being found.”

Fixes a bug in the app due to which copy-paste doesn't work for certain fields.

Our app now supports dynamic font sizes. So if you’ve changed your phone’s settings to make the font bigger or smaller, you’ll see the same thing matched in Monzo.

App-solutely nothing to update you on this week, besides bug fixes and general maintenance. See what we did there? (Sorry.)

"Nothing" is a song by English rock band A, released as the first single from their third album Hi-Fi Serious. Nothing is also what we have in the way of updates, it's been a week of bug fixes and general maintenance.

Apparently, we had different navigation symbols in the app. Take the back button, for example. We had a blue arrow, a black arrow, a forward arrow looking in a mirror, an aardvark doing the moonwalk, and me slowly backing out of a room after I realized I was the first to arrive at the office party. Anyway, we’ve put a stop to all that and rolled out a consistent look for all navigation buttons. You’re welcome. Now, back to work, you.

If every week was special, no week would be. That’s a roundabout way of saying we haven’t got a big flashy update for you just yet.

Nothing wildly exciting to report on this week. So how about a horrifying money fact instead?
Paper money is far, far dirtier than a household toilet. An NYU study found more than 3,000 types of organisms on just 80 $1 bills. All the more reason to go cashless.

Let's give a hand to all the engineers fixing bugs and doing general maintenance this week. It's the little things that help make our app what it is.

The seasons are changing and the trees are shedding their leaves. Not to be all metaphorical about it, but that’s pretty similar to what we’re doing at Monzo right now – shedding some weight from the app to make room for new things this Fall.

You can now edit your Salary Sorter at any time. Don’t wait for the next paycheck to hit, you can change the way your money is allocated to different pots or accounts as needed by tapping the + icon and ‘sort income’.
If you have a Connected Account, you’ll now get notifications of any paydays or fees so you’re always in the know.
If you slip off-track on a savings Pot, you can now catch up and we’ll recalculate what remains to hit your goal on time.

We’ve spent this week mashing bugs and it makes this writer think of the 2002 creature feature Eight Legged Freaks. Anyone remember that? Of course you do, it was wicked. (We know spiders aren’t insects.)

You know what really bugs us? Bugs. We've fixed them so you can enjoy a smoother time in the app.

Supercharge your income with Salary Sorter. Introducing automatic sorting to an External Account. You can now split your paycheck into your other banks as well as into your Monzo Account(s) and Pots automatically as you get paid. Wake up on payday knowing your money is exactly where it needs to be without effort or stress.

Overview education cards make it easier to understand your money — from learning about new Monzo features to breaking down some common or complex financial terms.

Introducing Monzo Call Status! If someone calls you claiming to be from Monzo, you can now check to see if they’re telling the truth or not in the Monzo app. Head to 'Privacy & security' in Settings and if the call status says we're not talking to you, report it to us right away.

Ditch your spreadsheet. Monzo makes envelope budgeting easy. Automatically cover your expenses by spending directly from Pots. Select which merchants and/or categories to assign to a Pot and any matching transactions will automatically be paid from the Pot. Perfect for managing rent, subscriptions, groceries, or going out.

Start a Pot to achieve your goals on time. Tell us how much to save and when you want to achieve your goal by. We’ll do the math to automatically save to reach your goal.

Notice something different about how your Monzo app looks? We have a new Home screen! Designed to give you a better overview of your money, making it more convenient to see all your money in one place and easier to use more of the features Monzo has to offer. You can even personalize the layout to best suit the way you use Monzo.

No updates for you this week, we’ve been busy with general maintenance.

Did you know that there are two cash machines in Antarctica? They’re both located at the McMurdo Station US Antarctica research centre. Only one of them is in use at a time, with the other one being there for parts or spare things they might need to keep its neighbour alive and operational.

We’ve fixed a couple of bugs to keep your app running smooth. As smooth as your cat around feeding time.

We’ve been busy banishing bugs. I wish the same could be said about the humongous spider that’s made a home outside my bedroom window.

Not every week is filled with big news. And it's one of those weeks. We've been busy behind the scenes – doing a little general maintenance here. Fixing a few bugs there. It's those little things that count.

If there's bugs that need fixing. And an app that needs maintaining. Who you gonna call? Our engineers. (Perhaps not as catchy, but that's what we've been up to).

Based on customer feedback, we’ve added more control to your Credit Card Pot by enabling you to remove or pause a credit card. New customers will also find it easier to set up a Credit Card Pot with improved wayfinding and onboarding.

We've made it easier to track your subscriptions with a trio of improvements:

Improved automatic subscription detection: We've added 200 more subscription services to our automatic detection list.

Mark ACH payments as subscriptions: You can now easily mark ACH payments as subscriptions, like rent, mortgage, or bills.

Cleaned up merchant names & logos: We've cleaned up the merchant names and logos for a few dozen major chains.

These changes set the scene for exciting new features coming soon!

It's been another bug-fixing week. Since 'bug' is short for 'bugbear', here's one of ours: friends who don't have Monzo.

We’ve been working hard, fixing bugs and doing general maintenance this week which should mean things are a whole lot smoother for you. Enjoy your bump-free banking!

A little bug slipped its way into our last update that prevented some users from accessing their Flex and Pot accounts manage tabs. This update patches that up so you're all good to go.

We have enabled support for X1 and SoFi with the Credit Card Pot.

Did you just move? You can also request an address change in the settings screen.

It's been a week of bug fixing and general maintenance over here. How are things on your end?

A little bug slipped its way into our last update that could cause issues for some users editing their Pot details. We've sorted this with our latest update, so you're all good to go.

We've been working hard fixing bugs and making improvements, so you can make managing your money easy.

Payday shouldn’t be a chore to manage your money. You can now automatically sort your income into any account and Pot, and wake up knowing your money is right where it should be.
Stay ahead of your credit card debt with our Credit Card Pot, designed to help you automatically set money aside and use that money to pay your credit card balance.
Out late at night and need some customer support? We are here to help 24/7 with fast in-app support from real humans (some with British accents).

We’ve redesigned Salary Sorter to make it easier than ever to move money into your various accounts and Pots. You can also now see what percentage of your income is going to each account or Pot.

You can now set individual spending targets for any or all of your categories in Trends! We’ll even recommend amounts for each category based on your past habits.

Not much to report this time (besides the usual small improvements). So we’re bringing you another money fact from the vaults instead. Did you know only around 8% of the world’s money is in cash? The rest is kept in electronic bank accounts – and card payments mean we often use money without touching it. Oh, and speaking of card payments, do we have the card for you…

Fixes a crash when saving lots of data at the same time.

Say hello to emergency funds. Plan, build and maintain your savings, so you’re covered if you ever need emergency cash. To build an emergency fund, open the Monzo app and go to the Account tab (it’s in the top left corner). Then, tap Create Pot and choose to build an emergency fund.

You can now update your card PIN right inside the app. Tap “Manage” and “Change your PIN” to get started.

Fixes a bug where the Pot withdrawal screen could show an incorrect balance.

Still owed money for last week’s dinner? Now you can send reminders for payment requests and avoid the awkward conversation. Go to the Payments tab, select the request and tap ’Send payment reminder’.

We’ve been tinkering away to make sure your app’s running smoothly. This update includes small bug fixes and maintenance. After all, it’s the little things that matter.

Nothing big to tell you about this week, just the usual fixes and maintenance. But enough about us – how've you been?

Lost your card? We've all been there. Don't sweat it. Of course you can freeze your card to feel extra secure. Now you can also request a new card right within the app! New Hot Coral comin' your way to get you back on track.

You can now view Certificates of Deposit and Paypal's Credit Card with Connected Accounts and Trends.

Give your Pot a new look
We've created some new images so you can give your Pot a refresh. So pick the one that's perfect for you – and your Pot.

Everything's running smoothly
We've also been making the usual fixes so that everything's working as it should be.

We haven't got anything big to report. That's because we've been bug-fixing away. So you might find things feel that bit smoother in the app. Enjoy!

Securely share your Monzo data with other banks and apps with Plaid. Monzo is now listed in the Plaid exchange, enabling you to transfer money to or from Monzo from another bank and share your data with other apps.

Nothing new to report this week – only the usual bug fixes. So we'll give you some money history instead.
Did you know coins have been on the scene for quite some time – thousands of years in fact. The first ones were made around 2,500 years ago.

Hear ye, hear ye! Two big announcements:
Partners, couples, friends, and lovers can now create a Joint Account to manage money as a team! Budget, save, and spend transparently with the special one in your life to conquer your combined financial goals.
Get your paycheck up to 2 days early with Monzo. Set up direct deposit with Monzo and you’ll see payday come faster than ever.

Nothing to announce this week folks, just bug fixes and general improvements. I'll tell you what isn't nothing though: The Meg with Jason Statham. That, friends, is really something.

Another week spent working on general fixes and improvements to the way our app runs.
Thank you to Martin on Twitter for pointing out the typo in last week's notes – at least you know your bank's run by humans.

Nothing groundbreaking to report this week. We've been debugging away, making sure everything's running smoothly for you. That's all for now.

No big news this week, folks – just the usual fixes. Check out the rest of this page for the good stuff…

Our update's coming to you in the form of a haiku this time around. Here it goes. Bug fixing this week.
There's nothing more to report.
We'll see you next time.

Custom Categories: Managing money is a very personal experience. Now you have an option to customize what types of categories exist in your budget. Start creating your own categories by tapping into a transaction and change the category. You can create your own category name, icon, and color!

Split transactions across categories: It's that time of year where, if you're like me, you're shopping for the holidays. Have you ever bought something from Amazon or another merchant and wanted to split how you spent at that merchant by certain budget categories? We certainly did so we created a way now to select split categories on transactions. Does this work with custom categories? Sure does.

Nothing to report this week. We’re working on the usual bug fixes and general maintenance. So here’s a fact for you. The oldest bank in the world is Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena in Tuscany. It dates all the way back to 1472. That’s over a whopping 550 years old. Makes us feel rather young.

General maintenance again this week. We do have a money-related fact though.\n\nIn the Middle Ages, people saved money in jars and dishes made out of orange clay called ‘pygg’. By the 19th century, potters made pig shaped containers when asked to make pygg banks, and that’s how they became the pink ceramic pigs we have today

You can now block other payees who have a Monzo account, so you can stop them sending you any unwanted requests and payments.

We’ve not got any big updates to tell you about this week - only the usual fixes - but we have a metallic money fact for you instead. Those little coppers you might have hanging around deep in your pockets, they’re not actually copper. They’re made of steel. What’s made of mostly copper is every other coin worth more than 10p (even though they don’t look it). Who’d have thought it?!

It's another one of those weeks. We're busy bug fixing and keeping everything ticking along. Because of that, there's nothing big to tell you about. Until next time…

You can now see your Monzo card number and CVC in the app using the 'Card details' button on your Home screen.
And, we've improved the transfer screen for moving money into Monzo. We show you the balance of the account you're moving money from, and more.

We’ve been busy modularizing our code. It’s a technical term to describe breaking our app into independent sections. It means we can ship improvements to your app even faster and as a bonus, helps make our code easier to manage.

The seasons are changing and the trees are shedding their leaves. Not to be all metaphorical about it, but that's pretty similar to what we're doing at Monzo right now – shedding some weight from the app to make room for new things this Autumn.

If you're reading this there's a good chance you're an engineer or developer. But which title do you associate with? Either way, our [insert label]s have been doing general maintenance this week.

It's another one of those weeks where sprucing up the app is keeping us occupied.

We wouldn't leave you without a money fact though. The farthing (a quarter of a penny) was in use in the UK until 1956. Its name comes from an old English word "feorthing" meaning "a fourth part".

Way back when, there was actually an English coin shaped like a clover - so any of the four parts could be broken off and used as separate currency. Clever, eh?

Spending at a restaurant or bar? You can now track your tip which will show your updated balance right away. Let Monzo do the math for you with 3 suggested tip percentages, or enter a custom amount. We’ll even remember your preference for next time!

You can now add Monzo to Apple Pay right from the app. If you’re new to Monzo, you can start spending right away, even before your hot coral card arrives. Pay safer and faster using your Monzo card with Apple Pay.

Some weeks there’s nothing specific to tell you about, and the update is that we’ve been doing general maintenance. This is one of those weeks.

We've introduced dark mode so you can view your Monzo app in a softer hue. Head to your phone's system Settings to turn it on.

We've been tidying up the app: if you go to Payments, you'll see that everything which used to be on the 'Shared' tab is now under 'Payments'. That's one less tap to worry about (or one fewer, if you're being a pedant).

They say good things come in threes, and today's update is no exception:
1. We’ll include a tip suggestion in your payment notification at restaurants and bars, so you can leave your calculators at home
2. You can now refer your friends and family to join Monzo – tap the Gift icon to share the magic
3. And last but not least, customize an amount when using TopUp to add money to your account.

Some weeks there’s nothing specific to tell you about, and the update is that we’ve been doing general maintenance. This is one of those weeks.

They’re both located at the McMurdo Station US Antarctica research centre. Only one of them is in use at a time, with the other one being there for parts or spare things they might need to keep its neighbour alive and operational.

We’ve been tinkering and fixing as usual, but no big news this week. We have a bank-related fact though if you’re interested? Did you know that since 1953, the Italian bank Credito Emiliano has been accepting Parmesan cheese as collateral for small business loans?

Summer's the busiest time of year for all things that fly, scurry and slither. And because Raid isn't much use when it comes to virtual bugs, we've done some general maintenance to stop any from crawling into the app. If you come across the other kind of bug, we recommend furiously batting them away with your hot coral card.

General maintenance again this week. We do have a money-related fact though.

In the Middle Ages, people saved money in jars and dishes made out of orange clay called ‘pygg’. By the 19th century, potters made pig shaped containers when asked to make pygg banks, and that’s how they became the pink ceramic pigs we have today.

Since we're busy fixing bugs, here are some uses for your Monzo card in a heatwave:

• As a miniature fan to cool yourself down
• Generating a very small rectangle of shade
• As a coaster for an iced drink
• Budget frisbee in the park
• Actually buying things like ice creams

Stay safe out there, folks!

Bug fixes and general maintenance this week. How about a word fact though? (We like words at Monzo.)
The term ‘bank’ comes from an Italian word ‘banco’, meaning a bench, since Italian merchants in the Renaissance made deals to borrow and lend money beside a bench which they placed the money on.

New for Connected Accounts: You can now change categories! Making it easier to track your spending across your accounts.

Now you can keep track of all your accounts in Monzo. We've launched Connected Accounts, so you can link your checking accounts, savings accounts and credit cards, making it easy to track your spendings and savings in one place. No more jumping between banking apps.

"You say it best, when you say nothing at all.” That doesn’t really apply to release notes – we’d rather tell you about something cool if we could, but that isn't possible this week. Sorry.
Plenty of bug fixing and general maintenance going on but nothing in the way of announcements. We won’t let you leave empty-handed though, how about this for a bit of pop trivia?
Did you know that Ronan Keating’s 1999 ‘When You Say Nothing At All’ was in fact originally a hit for country singer Keith Whitely? You do now!

Nothing major to share this week—just some bug fixes and maintenance.

Nothing new to share this week, just bug fixing and general tidying up.

Nothing major to share this week but we are busy working behind the scenes!

We’ve been doing some spring cleaning in the app – cleaning, fixing and tweaking.

We don't have any big updates this time, just bug fixes and improvements to keep things running like clockwork.

Nothing major to share this week, so why not round up the week by giving round ups a go? Monzo makes saving a daily habit by automatically putting the spare change from every payment you make into a Pot. Just create a Pot, toggle the round up transactions option and give them a try.

Nothing major to report this week, folks! We've been fixing bugs across the app to make using Monzo as smooth as possible.

Nothing major to share this week - just some bug fixes and maintenance.

Nothing major to report this week. Lots of good work going on under the hood though.

New to Monzo? Firstly, welcome! Secondly, we’re making it easier for you to set up an account in 5 simple steps. There’s no thirdly, but we like things that come in threes, so we’ll just say welcome again.

Nothing specific to share this week. We’ve made some bug fixes and performance improvements to keep everything running smoothly.

We've fixed a small bug where dark mode could sometimes hide your balance. Phew!

No major updates for you this week, it's been about bug fixes and maintenance.

Building a banking app is like making a cake. The more you practise, the better you get.
That's why even when we're not launching big new features, we're making lots of small improvements to Monzo with every update. So your app gets more delicious over time. Or something like that anyway.

We fixed a few bugs that meant signing up to Monzo wasn’t as smooth as it should be. But you probably don’t need to worry about that… you’ve already got Monzo.

Nothing juicy to tell you about this week, just bug fixing and general tidying up. That’s no bad thing in our eyes – if it was your birthday every day would cake still taste so good?

We've made some essential improvements behind the scenes to keep the app running smoothly. And because we've not got a glitzy update, we'll leave you with a word of the week: fastidious. It describes someone who's very concerned with accuracy and detail. Here's how you'd use it in context:
'The people who work at Monzo are a fastidious bunch – they always make sure the app is working as it should, so people can manage their money safely.'
Have a good week, folks!

Some weeks are for big updates and new features, and others are for all the essential work that keeps your banking app running smoothly. Think you can guess what kind of week this one is!

We're making it easier than ever to signup to Monzo, with no more waiting around! Just download the app and apply right away. If you're eligible, you could have your account up and running in 10 minutes or less.

Happy New Year! This week's update contains some small bug fixes.

We've been making it quicker and easier to get Monzo, as well as making it smoother to add money to your account. We'll be back with lots of exciting stuff in 2022. Till then, happy holidays!

Nothing specific to share this week outside the normal code cleanups and product polishing.

We've made signing up for a Monzo account better! From now on, new customers don’t have to wait for their card to come in the post before using their account. Once you’re in, you’re free to access your account straight away.

Nothing specific to share this week outside the normal code cleanups and product polishing. Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate!

We’ve been busy prepping some exciting things to round out 2021. Plus, we’ve made some updates to keep the app working beautifully.

We’ve been improving how we do customer support behind the scenes, so the eagle-eyed might notice small but mighty changes that answer your questions via chat faster.

We're working on our sign-up and customer support experience. So this week, all of our updates lay the groundwork for those improvements.

Stay tuned!

It’s now even easier to keep on top of your bills, subscriptions, regular saving transfers and more with Monzo. Introducing our new Scheduled tab, where you can manage all your recurring card payments and scheduled Pot transfers in one place.

No one: It really grinds my gears when my Monzo app works exactly as it should.
That’s why we’ve been busy under the hood this week, working hard on small fixes to keep our engine finely tuned.

Now you can track payments you've requested in the new "Shared" screen.

It'll show you pending payment requests and incomplete bill splits.

So you know who owes you!

Did you know ants have superhuman strength? According to the Journal of Biomechanics, the average field ant can carry almost 5,000 times its own weight. Impressive, huh? We’re big fans of bugs – except when they’re in your banking app. We got rid of the critters so managing your money should be smoother than ever.

Did you know the total weight of all ants on Earth is greater than the total weight of all humans? Speaking of bugs, we’ve been fixing some this week.

In this week’s release we’ve fine-tuned the engine to keep your banking app running smoothly. Think, bug fixes, tweaks and general tinkering. See you next week for more.

We’ve fixed a bug so it’s even easier to add your other bank accounts and credit cards to Monzo. Other than that, we’ve been working behind the scenes to keep everything running as it should.

We're inviting more of you to link your Monzo and non-Monzo accounts together in the app. It lets you quickly move money between them, making it easier to manage your money.

This week’s update is a little like your regular visit to the grocery store.

Except instead of your weekly essentials, it’s essential code that makes your Monzo app run smoothly.

We’ll see you next week for more. In the meantime, stay safe and look after yourselves.

Now you can link to your other non-Monzo accounts! Quickly move money between your other accounts and Monzo—all from inside the app.

Exporting bank statements from Monzo? We’ve made a small fix to add the date range you’ve chosen in the title so they’re easier to find later.

We've listened to your feedback and improved statements. Now you'll see the address you were living at in the date range you've asked for a statement.

Even better, we're no longer showing Pot transfers on your statements so you have a clear view of the money moving in and out of your Monzo account. We'll give you separate statements for Pots.

Plus, you can now set up 'If This, Then That' (IFTTT) triggers when you spend on your card.
"

Nothing significant to share this week besides bug fixes. Keep your eyes peeled for some launches coming soon.

Nothing big to tell you about just yet. All the work we’ve been doing has been happening behind closed doors, gearing up for launches coming soon.

More maintenance and building below the surface this week. We’ve got a nice queue of announcements lined up for the next few months though, stay tuned.

We’ve been working on some routine maintenance this week to make sure your Monzo app is performing at the top of its game.

Nothing specific to share this week. We've been busy with the usual work of keeping everything running the way it should.

We're (almost exactly) halfway through the year. Thought you should know.
We've also got some exciting updates coming to your screens soon – but not just yet. Stay tuned!

No announcements today, but we’ve been busy writing lots of code for things we can tell you about soon. Stay tuned.

We’ve added 200+ new emojis for you to use when thanking someone for a payment. Which means there’s now a huge 1,720 ways to say cheers, much obliged, big up, ta.

Routine maintenance, this week.

Nothing to update you on this week, just ongoing maintenance. Stay safe.

Just some routine maintenance and bug fixes for you this week.
But while we've got you, why not create a Pot in your Monzo account? You can use them to separate out your money however you'd like.

Tracking your spending just got easier. You can now see a progress bar against your budgets, right under your balance. So you can see how you're doing at a glance.
(And if you don't already have a budgeting cycle set up, tap the pie chart on your home screen to get started.)

We promise we're using our extra hour of sunlight productively, but there's nothing big to report this week.

Bugs, there are less now
Yes, we said less not fewer
We’re descriptivists

Nothing to tell you about this week. We've been busy with invisible work that keeps things running smoothly.

Not much to report this week that you'll notice in the app, just lots of little performance improvements that help everything tick along.

Spin through your accounts and Pots by tapping the neighbouring image or card.

No juicy announcements this week, sorry. Lots of work going on behind the scenes though. Seen any good movies recently?

Nothing to see here folks. Another week working on things under the hood.

You can now give friends nicknames, add descriptions for their bank accounts and combine details where you have multiple contacts for the same person. We’ve moved your pals out of the Payments screen and into the new payee hub so they’re easier to find, and we’ve decluttered by separating your Monzo contacts from the contacts in your phone. We’ve given the Payments screen some love too with new icons, refreshed wording and a general glow up.

This week we’ve squashed a rare (but annoying) bug that was causing the app to crash when moving money around with Pots.

Nothing major to report this week. Lots of good work going on under the hood though.

We’ve cleaned up the look of our bank statements – now with a more useful summary of your money on the first page. Tap ‘Account’ under your card in the app to find them.

Happy New Year! For our first update of 2021 we’ve got... bug fixes!

We’ve fixed a bug that was stopping 16 and 17 year olds from signing up for an account.

We've improved searching for transactions, so you'll now see your results much faster.

And you'll find more accurate logos, locations and names for the places you've used Monzo, as well as being able to suggest improvements to them.

This is our last update of the year, so a Happy New Year from all of us at Monzo. See you in 2021!

We’ve added a ‘roundup’ label to payments so you can clearly see when you’ve put money into savings. We’ve made some improvements behind the scenes too.

Listen out for some new sounds for when money moves in and out of your account. As well as a completely different sound for other little alerts.

We’ve made ordering and activating your Hot Coral card even smoother.

We've improved explanations for why a contactless card payment might have declined, so you know what to do to fix it.

We've been doing some housekeeping around the app – cleaning, fixing and tweaking.

Lots of 'backend' work going on this week. Which, if you don't know, means the parts of our code that make the app work behind the mask.

We've been doing some housekeeping around the app – cleaning, fixing and tweaking.

This week we had a party! Not your typical party with cake and funny hats, but one where our engineers deleted lots of old code that didn't need to be there any more. Things should work a little faster now.

Create new payees without needing to send them money first – head over to the Payments tab to give it a try. We've also fixed a bug where the bill splitting option wasn't appearing for some transactions.

Refactoring is when you change the structure of code without changing what it does. The aim is to make it more reliable and less susceptible to bugs – we've been doing just that this week.

Bug watch: we fixed an issue where the app was making iCloud backups larger than necessary, and one where the app crashed for some users on iOS 10.

You'll soon be able to order a personalized Monzo card, because if you like it then you should put your name on it. Look out for an update in your feed to find out more!

This week we worked behind the scenes to make the app more reliable and less susceptible to bugs!

This release includes some refactor work - which means we've made existing code more reliable and less susceptible to any bugs!

Our app widget is now faster and more reliable. You can use it to quickly glance at your balance and spent today without needing to open the app.

Two key fixes to report this week. The first one straightened out an animation issue that popped up when going from home to the accounts list. The other is to do with loan repayments. Some of the content in that area of the app was all squished together, and now it isn’t.

Lots of ‘backend’ work going on this week. Which, if you don’t know, means the parts of our code that make the app work behind the scenes.

We're all staying safe and wearing masks at the moment. So we've added the ability to open the app with your iPhone passcode, for times when your face is covered. You need to be using Face ID to unlock the app for this fallback to appear.

This week, we're *gifting* you a new spending category. (It's gifts.)

We fixed a bug where cells were a little wonky in the ‘Manage your account’ section of the app when using a large device.

Grace Hopper introduced us to the term "bug" – or at least in its computing form anyway. Apparently she used it to describe a malfunction in an early electromechanical computer. Well here's to you Grace, cos we've been fixing bugs.

There was a pesky issue where some customers on slow connections could get stuck when trying to reset their PINs. We're happy to say that that bug's officially squashed. Onwards!

You’ll see some especially fun product improvements and bug fixes this week. Make sure you check out the spinny animations that show when your balance is being refreshed.

It’s a low-key update this week. Things are moving, but we’re not ready to share anything major just yet. Trust that the usual flurry of fixed bugs and improved performances are included though.

This week we’ve improved accessibility for Pots by making it easier for screen readers to navigate and understand those pages.

People with a UK and US Monzo account would sometimes see their profile pictures swapped around. Not anymore, friends! That bug is well and truly squashed.

Customers who use VoiceOver should now find steppers and number entry fields easier to navigate. We've changed the messaging to improve what's read out by the screen reader.

We fixed a bug where the app would crash after granting permission to take photos when adding receipts to your transactions. From home, of course.

Another busy week clearing out bugs here at Monzo. Which got us thinking: we talk about 'bugs' a lot, but we never thought to ask if you know what that means? When we say 'bug', we're talking about an error or flaw somewhere in our system.

With this update, we're rolling out the ability to hide and sort your Pots! Reorder them in a way that works best for you, or tuck them away entirely so they're out of sight.

We’ve been making our app more resilient this week, in the unlikely event we see trouble with our in app chat we’ve put in a backup option. Safety first!

More bug fixes and hard work behind the scenes this week, so here's a fact instead. Did you know that US paper money isn't made of paper at all? It's cloth. In Ben Franklin's day, people repaired torn bills with a needle and thread.

We're still working from home, still squashing masses of bugs, and looking at adorable puppy videos to stay cheery. Keep safe out there, pals!

This week we've all been working from home, fixing bugs and tidying up the app.

If you have any questions about coronavirus and your money, head to our website for information and guidance. We hope you're all staying safe out there.

Some people were a bit confused about when your card can, or can't, be unfrozen. So we made a new 'blocked' card state, which should clear things up. Enjoy!

The spring cleaning is still in full swing here. We're dusting off old code and vacuuming up any bugs (the computer kind, not the buzzing, six-legged kind).

We fixed a problem that meant the app was crashing when some of you tried to open it.

We took a leaf out of Marie Kondo's book and gave the app a spring clean. (Before we removed any old code, we thanked it for its service.)

Ever heard the saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words"? We couldn't agree more. That's why we've updated our merchant logos, so you can see exactly where you're spending.

If you’re waiting in line for a Monzo account, we’ll now let you know where you stand, and offer you ways to jump ahead! (Fun fact: our British cousins call a line a ‘queue’. Wild!)

We’ve also fixed a silly bug that was stopping people telling us their apartment number in sign-up.

You can now split the check with friends in the app. No more paying with multiple cards, frantically swapping account details or awkward conversations about who owes who. Phew.

If you have a US and UK Monzo account:
1. Lucky you
2. You can now switch between the two in your accounts list, for simpler money management.
And where's number 3, you ask? Well, there isn't one. Not all good things come in threes.

Forget copying and pasting bank details. Now you can send money to other friends on Monzo easily - all you’ll need is their phone number.

January's the perfect time to get things organised. We've tidied up the Profile and Settings pages so it's easier for you to find things like legal documents and notification preferences. Another tick off the to-do list.

You can now pick your own PIN when you sign up with us. Sometimes it's the little things.

Pots have arrived! They're our way of letting you separate your money from your spending balance. Slice of the pi, anyone?

New year, time to reflect. In 2019 we gave 1,000 people early access to our beta card and loved meeting lots of you at our community events across San Francisco, NYC, Las Vegas and LA.

Now we're busy prepping for 2020. First up, our product roadmap. Using your feedback to decide what we build next is super important to us. Later this month you'll be able to see what we're planning, plus comment and vote on what we should do next! Watch this space…

An extra Christmas gift, so soon?! We’re treating you with one last round of bug fixes before we sign off for the year.

You know how you get socks for Christmas and it’s never really fun but it is useful. Well that’s a bit like this update. Our gift for the holidays is... bug fixes! Don't say we don't treat ya.

We're working on general bug fixing and performance improvements ahead of the festive season. With this update everything should feel snappier and run smoother.

Great news! Our new app layout has landed on US soil.

We hate to do this to you, but all we’ve got is bug fixes. It’s important work, sure, but we appreciate it isn’t the most exciting news you’ll get today. Or maybe it will be.

We're preparing for a makeover to set Monzo up for the future alongside a healthy dose of squashed bugs and polished edges. Keep your eyes open because we're just getting started.

How do you stay regular? Some people recommend plenty of leafy greens. Others swear by prunes. We prescribe a week of tweaks and fixes to make your balance and transaction updates quicker and more reliable. (Prunes optional.)

We've been fixing bugs. Not the squishy, buzzing, two-winged, eight-legged, 12-eyed kind. But the in-app, computer, code kind.

Say cheese! This week we updated the identity verification experience during signup to include clearer messaging and improved photo and video capture.

You asked, we answered! This week we added your account details and bank statements to your 'Manage' screen because that's where most people were looking for them. Sensible, eh?

You might've heard on the grapevine that we're giving our app a whole new look. We've been working hard behind the scenes to make this happen for US accounts soon.

We've also listened to your feedback and helped make it clearer during signup why we collect SSN and how we safely and securely store that data

Nothing much changed for US accounts this week!

If you have a UK account:

This is the big one: 3.0! We've had a makeover, and this new-look app is Monzo for the future. We've made it easier to find the things we do already, and left plenty of room for what's coming next. Keep your eyes open because we're just getting started.

For US customers, we continued our mission to localize the app - thanks to everyone that told us where things were getting a bit too British

This week we've been working on big, important things like making payments more reliable and localizing the app. But we also got rid of a silly, confusing message about changing your PIN at cash machines, which you can only do in the UK right now. Like we said: silly.

For UK accounts:

You might've heard on the grapevine that we're giving our app a whole new look. If you want special VIP access* then head to Monzo Labs in your Profile. We've made it even easier for you to discover things like Pots and loans in there. And on that note, we've now launched loans to all eligible customers!

*Okay, it's actually just early access. But what we said sounded better.

This week we stopped explaining to US customers how American restaurants take payments differently from UK restaurants, because you already know how restaurants work.

We also made it clearer when you first see your PIN that you can get a reminder at any time.

For UK accounts:

The new navigation keeps on getting better! You can now open your Summary by tapping the Left to Spend progress bar, and you can access your accounts list by pulling the transaction drawer down. Try the new navigation in Monzo Labs.

Monzo is coming to the US!

This week we've been busy replacing pound signs with dollar signs, and getting rid of every 'u' that doesn't belong.

Monzo is coming to the US!

This week we've been busy replacing pound signs with dollar signs, and getting rid of every 'u' that doesn't belong.

In the words of Oprah, you can get Monzo Plus! You can get Monzo Plus! Everyone can get Monzo Plus! (Because we’ve taken away the Monzo Plus waiting list and it’s available for everyone.)

Great news for Monzo Plustomers! (See what we did there?) We’re giving you two new features as part of your core bundle, at no extra cost.

- You’ll earn 1.5% AER on all positive balances up to £4,000.
- You’ll also get access to exclusive offers and discounts (including TIDAL, Zipcar and HelloFresh).

We’ve also fixed some scaling issues on smaller phones so our terms and conditions don’t get shrunk down and tricky to read.

If you had your region set to China, Japan or Canada, you weren't able to enter your date of birth when signing up for Monzo. We've fixed this now - so you can apply away!

“That sweater is not just blue.” and neither is your card, if it’s Monzo Plus. We’ve fixed a bug so you can update your app icon to match your card, quicker. And, we made some changes under the hood to make your balance update even faster.

We've made it even easier to discover awesome Monzo features when you first join. So, you know, if your friends still need a nudge, now's a good time to do it.

Our poor app's been lugging extra weight around for no reason. We've helped lighten the load by removing files it didn't need from iCloud backups.

Sometimes, it's the little things in life that bring the most enjoyment. A single snowflake resting delicately on a young puppy's nose; a fresh cool breeze cutting through the fug of a hot city day; or us changing the name of our Flexible Savings Pots to Easy Access Savings Pots.

Just some regulation tidying up and fixing bugs this week. Since there's not much to see here, maybe try and find our ads on TV?

There's now two million people with Monzo! This week we made it easier for you to see and manage all of your borrowing options at Monzo. We also fixed a few bugs, so navigating around the app should feel smoother.

Life is all about balance. This week, we've ironed out some creases in the app (gotta be done). But we also prepped for the launch of our TV ads (*bites nails*). Keep an eye out for Monzo coming to a screen near you!

Things you can do in under 6 minutes:
- Floss your teeth
- Pet a dog
- Play an instrument
- Make a fruit smoothie
- Switch your energy supplier to Octopus Energy or OVO Energy through Monzo

(By the way, they offer great customer service and use renewable energy too).

Payday's the single best day of the month. And to celebrate it, we've made it even easier to get your salary paid into Monzo. Just go to the Account tab and tap 'Add money' to get the ball rollin'.

We’ve spruced up the animation in the app for when you’re looking back at days gone by, we’re also doing lots of work behind the scenes to make the app fit for 2019 and beyond.

Introducing ISAs! You can now save money without paying tax on the interest you earn by opening a Savings Pot ISA (individual savings account). Find out more by creating a pot on the Account tab.

Lots of new features: good. Lots of notifications: a pain. So now features we think you'll find useful have a spot above your list of transactions in the Home tab. Also, if you change your email address, you can now update it yourself (along with your address and phone number) from your Profile in the Account tab.

ISAs for everyone! You can open an ISA in the app today, in the same way you'd set up a Savings Pot (head to your Account tab to get started).

Also: we've added some Monzo magic to moving money between your accounts. You can now add notes to these just like other payments to people on Monzo.

Behold: a shiny new Payments tab. We've tidied things up so your options are more streamlined. We've also listed all the apps connected to your Monzo account under 'Manage Apps and Devices'.

Sometimes you don't know what you don't know. So when you join, we'll guide you through Monzo's handiest features to take you from rookie to pro in no time.

There's nothing more motivating than seeing what you're saving for in front of your very eyes. So now you can choose your own Pot images - be it your dream holiday destination or a brand new hoover (we won't judge).

Plus, add regular payments to Shared Tabs and we'll work out who owes what. No more awkward conversations about last month's water bill. Ever.

Sometimes it's releasing exciting new things. Sometimes it's "Oh no, this thing is broken". This week it's the latter: we fixed a bug that meant some people saw a zero balance when opening the app, or switching to their joint account.

Forgotten your card and need your card number? No problem. Tap 'PIN & card number' in your Account tab and watch the magic happen. You can even tap and hold the number to copy it (clever, we know).

You told us you love locked Pots, but that not being able to unlock them easily was a pain. So we’ve fixed it! Now you can unlock Pots early in the app.

You know the old adage: “Pay someone once, write a payment reference. Pay someone twice, Monzo autofills the reference you used the first time.”

Joint account friends! If you’ve been waiting to make the switch and go full Monzo, rejoice. You can now use the Current Account Switch Service (CASS) to move your joint account across to Monzo. It’s free, takes a week, and we do all the admin for you. Kick off your switch from the Profile section of your Account tab.

Receipts are dead! Just joking – they're alive and well. But, while it won't reverse climate change, you can now get digital receipts from EAT, Itsu, Pod and Pure in your Monzo app. Just tap on a recent transaction from one of these places to get set up. Also, ask mates for money without splitting a bill, submit your passport details more easily and recover your PIN before you've even activated your card. Capeesh?

You don't (usually) start a conversation in an empty room, so we figured you shouldn't start a chat with us on an empty screen. We've made some changes to Monzo Chat so it's clearer what to expect when you start a conversation with us.

We’ve given Monzo Chat some much needed TLC so it’s even easier for you to tell us when something’s urgent. And now you can check who hasn’t paid up from splitting the bill at dinner last week. Handy.

Making new friends is a good thing. So now you can add someone to an existing Shared Tab.

A bumper crop of new year updates. You can now (deep breath): change the frequency of your standing orders and scheduled payments; save your chats with Monzo as PDFs and download or send them; see details of payments you’ve sent by text or email and cancel links if you like. Phew.

Happy new year! We had a small sign-up bug which was making it harder for people to open accounts. Not ideal. But it's fixed now!

We’re mostly making it easier to *not* use Monzo this week. You can now add payments to Shared Tabs that weren’t made on Monzo, for example if they were cash or on your credit card. And we’ve added the ability to send money to anyone – even if they’re not on Monzo – by text or email into Labs for testing.

We've added Shared Tabs so you can split ongoing expenses with your friends! We've also made improvements to Monzo Chat so you can now see an estimate of the wait time. And as usual, we fixed a few bugs and added a bit of polish to your current account too.

A quick fix for a few crowdfunding bugs that were reported, including the investment banner being hidden by an Apple Pay banner. Update now to get the chance to invest.

Our noble team have spent the week questing through the app in search of bugs to vanquish. (We've also been playing a lot of Dungeons & Dragons recently.)

This time we've made scrolling through the app a smoother experience. Sometimes it's the little things that make all the difference.

We’re pretty excited about this one: Shared Tabs have landed in Labs. It even rhymes! Set one up with friends to split ongoing expenses, and let us know what you think.

We’ve also made subscription and Direct Debit predictions more flexible, so you can set them two-weekly, monthly and quarterly.

Finding stuff should be easier now. In Help we've made it simpler to query transactions, and in Settings we've added information about our fees. Plus the usual round of bug fixes.

A bumper crop of tweaks this week. We've tidied up Pots so your transaction information is clearer. We've redesigned the 'add money' screen so it's easier to see your options. And we've wrestled with a few bugs that were making the app just a little bit less elegant.

Bill splitters of the world unite – we've made it easier to tell that you can split bills with people even if they don't have Monzo accounts! Although, you know, if they wanted to get Monzo accounts that would still be cool.

We fixed a silly bug in your Pulse graph that meant you could tap on a day in the future and see a 'Spent today' box. Like we said: silly.

Thanks to everyone who’s been testing bill splitting in Monzo Labs. This week’s release contains some fixes for when you split the bill with people who aren’t using Monzo.

This week we've focused on smoothing out the log-in process, so it's easier to access your app.

And we're full of gratitude for the million people using Monzo to manage their money. No YOU'RE crying at your desk.

We’ve jazzed up the card activation flow, so it’s a nicer experience if you’re using your card for the first time. And, as always, we’ve battled a load of bugs.

You may have noticed we skipped over version 2.14.0. But rest assured, this week’s release is definitely 0.2.0 better than 2.13.0!

Your Monzo app should feel a little snappier. We’ve fine-tuned the performance of your feed and pulse graph, as well as sped up switching between tabs.

We’ve also made it easier to order replacement cards, and check the status of any current card orders. The rest of your settings have moved into the profile section.

We've heard that some people's apps were a bit slow, so the fixes in this update should help make scrolling around your feed buttery smooth.

No big news, we've just fixed some bugs for joint accounts. But we do have some small news: the Brazilian pygmy gecko is so small that it can walk on water.

Ever heard the phrase 'unknown unknowns'? That's the things you don't even realise you don't know, rather than just the things you know you don't know... make sense?

If you're new to Monzo, you might have a few unknown unknowns. So we've tweaked our Help section to suggest things that new people might find more useful, rather than leaving them to fend entirely for themselves.

We've also made it so you don't need to talk to us if you want to update your phone number. You can edit it yourself from your Profile.

Should make things easier for people, you know?

Splitting bills is a pain, right? If only there were some way to make it better. Take a look at our Labs area where you can try out new features.

This week: we’ve made some updates to the Joint Account sign-up process, and fixed some issues that were affecting how Summary works with Joint Accounts. There’s also some behind-the-scenes work to make paying your bills a bit less stressful. Coming soon!

The bald eagle actually has quite a silly cry. So film-makers dub them with something more majestic-sounding (usually the red-tailed hawk).

Are release notes without anything in them even technically release notes? Hmm.

There’s not a lot to update you on at the moment, just some general sprucing up. But we didn’t want to leave you empty-handed, so here’s a nature fact:

Some types of snail can sleep for up to three years. Remarkable.

We've been giving a little feature you know and love some TLC behind the scenes, to tidy it up and make it easier to find. We'll let you know in-app once it's ready for the main stage.

This update contains a quick fix for a shiny new something that we're previewing later this week.

Come to or watch our event on Thursday night to hear more!

While most people are outside enjoying the summer-y, we’ve been indoors tinkering with Summary. (Sorry.)

Now you’ll see sub-totals for your upcoming payments within each category, so it’s easier to spot what sort of things you’re spending most on.

You know how people say no news is good news? Well this must be the best news ever, because there's literally nothing to say about this update. Just your regular dose of bug fixes and tidy-ups.

Remember Targets? They’re now Budgets. (Because we realised that really they’re budgets to stay under, not targets to hit...) As well as setting individual budgets for particular categories like shopping and going out, you can now set a overall spending budget for the month too.

It's the World Cup soon! So we've done something totally unrelated and let you add notes and #tags to your Direct Debits.

Are we doing this marketing thing right?

Last weekend was literally named for companies like us. It's the only time we're allowed to take any holiday. We're imagining a beach full of employees from all the big banks, chatting about money and finances together, having a really great time.

Or not. Doesn't sound like our cup of tea. So instead, here's a new app update to make your bank even better! It's mainly fixing some bugs around Apple Pay (if you didn't hear, it's here!) and Summary (if you didn't hear, it's here!). We've also improved Direct Debits, so you'll start to see the amounts and dates on them (once the next ones come out).

Hope you enjoy it and all you bank employees enjoyed the bank holiday!

Here’s version 2.0! There’s lots of new things for you:

Summary is here for everyone! We’ve been testing Summary in Labs and it’s now here for everyone to enjoy. You can set when your month starts (when you get paid) and see how much you have left to spend throughout the month. Big buys you’ve been saving up for can be excluded from your targets. So you won’t be in the red.

You can also delete payees in the Payments tab, with a swipe and a tap!

It's hot out of the oven! A quick fix for a crash we were seeing for some people as they upgraded their accounts. Smells like fresh bread…mmmm, fresh bread. Yum.

In today’s episode of “Monzo Release Notes”:

• We’ve made it easier to switch your salary to Monzo — just open the Add Money screen!
• We’ve also made improvements to Summary (you can turn it on from Monzo Labs), all based on your feedback

And that’s it folks! We hope you enjoyed this week’s episode of “Monzo Release Notes”. See you next time!

There's a lot going on at Monzo. Like, really a lot. Unfortunately most of it isn't quite ready for the light of day, so only one announcement here: we've added 'Family' and 'Personal care' as two new spending categories, and renamed 'Cash' to 'Finances'. Hurrah!

Keep an eye out over the next couple of weeks though. There might well be more news...

We’ll keep this brief.

If you’re eligible for an overdraft, we’ll send you a notification to let you know. Then you can find out more and switch it on in seconds if you like.

Other than that, it’s all behind-the-scenes tweaks this time around. ¡Adiós!

Hello! This week it's mostly a lot of stuff behind the scenes that you don't need to worry about, like bug fixes, tweaks and general sprucing up.

This release is what we call a hotfix – we found something that was broken and have quickly fixed it and released it to you.

The new Help screen was crashing the Monzo app if you were on a lower version than iOS 11. We're really sorry. Turns out, there was a recursion between heightForRow and numberOfRows.

Nope, not sure what that means either. But we're happy to have fixed it! Those recursions get everywhere…

Two chunky changes this time around:

Help is getting an overhaul. We’ve (hopefully) made it easier for you to find what you’re looking for, and done smart stuff in the background so you’re more likely to see relevant information before you even start looking.

If you’re close to going overdrawn, we’ll let you know before it happens. So you can choose to go into your overdraft (if you’ve got one), or add money from elsewhere.

Spring has technically sprung, and fresh shoots are sprouting on the Monzo allotment. Actually, do shoots sprout? Or do sprouts shoot?

Anyway. You can now:

- get your card delivered anywhere in the world when you’re upgrading
- tell your Monzo contacts apart from other payees with a Monzo logo
- display your preferred name for P2P transfers
- see why a transaction declined in the transaction details screen.

I think it was Ernest Hemingway who said: ‘App updates. Gotta love them.’

Next time you pay someone in the app, you’ll see a little dropdown with references you’ve used before.

We’ve also put your bank statement history in your Profile, so it’s quicker to find.

Plus we’ve battled bugs, fixed errors and generally spruced the place up.

Hopefully it all makes your life a little easier. Until next time!

Steaming app updates, fresh out the oven:

We’ve fixed it so you can get your card delivered wherever you like, rather than just to your registered home address. Maybe get it from your parents’ house and do some washing while you’re there?

Plus we squished bugs, as per usual. (Sorry for making you think about bugs in an oven.)

Bank statements! A dream come true, fresh PDF statements you can download and decorate your home with (if you like). You'll find them in the spending tab, but maybe not straight away. We're rolling them out gradually so don't panic if you can't see yours yet.

We also fixed a problem with international keyboards and transferring money, and added some shiny new statistics on international ATM usage in the transaction screen.

New year, new us. Well, not really. We're still the same Monzo but, in the spirit of self-improvement, we have a few fixes for you (plus something a little more fun to say thanks!)

• Sorted a couple of layout issues we were seeing on iPhone X (because that's no good)
• Fixed an important button (the kind you click, not the kind you sew on)
• Improved the performance of the feed (at least 3x snappier!)
• And best of all we added badges for our crowdfunding investors, and Alpha and Beta users (because you're amazing!)

Happy New Year! ¡Feliz año nuevo! سنة جديدة سعيدة! godt nytår! Магчыма, вы перакладаеце ўсё гэта!

This release just fixes a lil bug we noticed over Christmas where a button was missing when you joined the waiting list. We're ramping up for 2018 now, so watch this space…

On this day in 1962, American astronaut John Glenn plopped down into the Atlantic Ocean after orbiting the Earth three times.

Today, the world celebrates another momentous landing, with the arrival of our latest app update.

You can now:
• Find out your PIN if you've forgotten it, securely from inside the app
• Tell us if your question's urgent

And we've also:
• Tidied up the screen where you see your account details
• And fixed a couple of bugs

Phew! As John Glenn put it as he re-entered the Earth's atmosphere, "Boy, that was a real fireball."

This one, this time, is legitimately bug fixes and performance enhancements! We’ve fixed some issues with Pots that were reported and a fix for a ‘black screen of death’ that others reported. Thank you for all the reports

All these stores starting up the Christmas music and lights and it's not even December. Bah humbug. There's no early Christmas here at Monzo HQ — we want to get your app releases out to you ASAP. So here's another one!

In today's show, we answer the following questions for customers who've upgraded their Monzo account:

* What happens if you lose your brand new debit card and need a new one?
* How do you change your home address?
* How do I use Monzo.me and bill splitting?

For all this, and more, tap that Update button. Yeah, that one. Go on, do it!

I'd love to be the person with the job of writing release notes for those apps updating below. Just copy and paste each time: "Bug fixes and performance enhancements". Then head home for the day.

Instead, they make me write long essays here at Monzo. Locked in a cupboard all day, writing away. But it's all for you dear friends. And this release is pretty darn exciting.

Why? Because it has support for Pots! Segregate money away from your main account to save up for holidays, gifts or a rainy day. It's pretty cool :D

You can find Pots in your Account tab!

We're excited about this one!

This latest release means we can start inviting existing users to upgrade their Monzo account to get features like a sort-code and account number.

To upgrade, just look out for an invitation in your app over the coming weeks. It takes less than five minutes to upgrade, we'll transfer your balance and transaction data over, and put a new hot coral debit card in the post.

Happy days!

Rather unhelpfully, we added some bugs into the last update.

The good news is, we've fixed em!

We’ve fixed some bugs! Swatted them away. Squished them underfoot. Did that gross yet satisfying thing where you squeeze them between your fingernails. Anyway, they’re gone!

We’ve just got a couple of quick updates for you, so we’ll be sure to keep it quick. You know, get straight to the point. We won’t go round the houses. Or beat around the bush. We’ll cut to the chase. And get right to it. We’ll be done in a jiffy. In two shakes of a lamb’s tail. So, where were we?

• We’ve fixed a few bugs related to spending and support
• And we’ve made some updates in light of iOS 11

This fixes one thing, changing your address, which we conveniently broke in 1.9.13, sorry about that!

Tonight, on the Monzo update show, we have version 1.9.13. Featuring:

• Preferred name now displays in your Profile. There’s not much you can do with this at the moment, but in the future you’ll be able to choose a preferred name (e.g. Andy, not Andrew) or remove some of those pesky middle names your parents gave you and you never want anyone else to find out about. Cough.
• Improved support for feed items that embed a webpage in them – we’re beginning to run a few tests with partnerships that’ll save you money and this helps with that.
• Fixed up some wording around the app. Because words are important.

And that’s it. Lucky number 13!

I.IX.XII. That’s right. We know Latin. It comes in pretty useful at Monzo Towers, as you can imagine.

In hoc versionem:

• Improved instructions for making bank transfers, so you can make them even more correctly
• Fixed some bugs around identity verification, when you switched your chosen method of ID halfway through

Quod ut 'omnis. But in the background, we’re working hard on current accounts. You can see how we’re doing at monzo.com/current-account/live if you’re that way inclined.

Gratias tibi. Vale Monzonauti.

The team at Release Notes Towers™©® are slowly running out of hilarious oddities to put in these notes. Which is bad for those of you who like them. And good for those who don’t. Kind of a win-win, lose-lose situation where nobody is happy.

But don’t worry! There’s still some juice in the old tank for this release, which features improvements to identity verification, improvements to card replacements and improvements to the Contacts tab so that you can scroll to the top by tapping the Contacts tab. All the improvements. None of the deprovements. Because that’s what we’re all about at Monzo Towers.

Enjoy friends!

This is version 1.9.10. Yep, that’s right. We went there. And we’re not sorry. Well, not that sorry anyway. Quite sorry. OK, we’re fully apologising. But we had no choice. There wasn’t another option. We’re saving that sweet 2.0.0 for you-know-what.

The most exciting fix in this version is that the yellow hex value of links on the Help screen is now #E28D00 to increase contrast. If you have no idea what that means, don’t worry. You’re not missing out. Just know that in the background, sweet sweet 2.0.0 goodness is happening.

Thank you wonderful people. Monzo out.

Version 1.9.9. A number so close to the elusive version 2.0, yet so far. Where could we possibly go next? Send your guesses on a postcard to Monzo HQ, Monzotown, Monzoworld, M0 NZ0.

This is a release that sprinkles a few improvements in hard to reach places, mainly helping people who are going through identity verification. Other than that, there’s not much to it that you’ll notice — but we’re hard at work behind the scenes on the all important current account.

Adios amigos.

On this day — 313 AD: the Edict of Milan, an agreement between Constantine the Great and Licinius to treat Christians benevolently within the Roman Empire, was posted in Nicomedia.

On this day — 2017 AD: Monzo releases version 1.9.8 of their iOS app, mainly with bug fixes. It also includes some improvements to requesting your PIN so it’s easier to do if you forget it, and implements support for some new survey-style feed items so we can start to ask how you feel about Monzo. Something like that anyway.

Big day tomorrow. Maybe. Who knows really. All we can say from here is, go out and vote if you can, join in our democracy and enjoy this update, brought to you by your friends at Monzo.

What did we do? Here’s what we did!

• Made the app smaller! So small you can fit it in your pocket. As long as it’s on an iPhone.
• Added links to forum travel wiki posts in travel reports for the most popular countries. Check them out and edit them to make them better!
• Fixed lots of bugs and crashes! Thank you to everyone who reports issues and please keep the feedback coming.
• Included a top secret test revamping one of the screens in the app to make it easier to use. Not everyone will see it, so keep your eyes peeled in case you’re in luck!

That’s it! Behind the scenes, we’re hard at work on current account features so don’t fret if you’re sad to see these smaller updates. It’ll be worth it. Promise.

This isn't what you might call an exciting update. Sorry about that. It's what some companies might call "bug fixes and performance enhancements". There are a couple of tinsy changes you might spot if you're especially eagle-eyed:

* A new PIN entry screen, so it's clearer that you're entering your card's PIN and not your phone's lock code
* Add Note and Add Receipt are now available on Top Up feed items, so you can now use them

After last week's giganticnormous update, we thought we should follow up with a minnow of an update. It's mainly bug fixes (a big thanks for reporting those!) and an improvement to ordering a replacement card to make it clearer what happens to your registered address. And that's it. No… really. No one more thing here. Adios.

It might be called version 1.9.4. And that might make you think this is a boring update. But you’d be wrong. Switcheroonie! Here’s a short essay so you can see what we’ve changed.

• Profile pictures — the one you’ve all been waiting for! Add a profile picture so your friends can see who they’re paying and everything looks 1746 times more beautiful. Guaranteed.*
• New style Pulse — that useful graph at the top of your feed is now fancy, faster and more fabulous. And it’s always visible now too so you can revel in its fabulousness.
• Request PIN via SMS — if you’ve forgotten your PIN, you don’t need to chat to customer support anymore to get a reminder. Just like that.
• Faster login — if you’ve got a bunch of transactions, you no longer need to wait a bunch of time for all of them to load. Boom, ta-da, flash and a bang.
• Change address in-app — moved house? Moved tent? Moved boat? No matter! You can now change your address within the app in a few seconds. Just don’t forget where you live.
• Shiny help screen — it’s infinitely more useful, so we can answer your questions before you’ve even asked them. Or something like that anyway.

And way more changes that we can’t fit in! Google Maps instead of Apple Maps on your transactions, an improved banner so you can see what we’ve changed in updates (like this one), no more ‘pull to refresh’ (because everything’s always up to date) and hundreds of thousands of bug fixes. Well, at least 10.

* Dependent on your friends.

Here’s an exciting one, just for you! It’s our very first version of bill splitting – and it’s going to become even better over the coming months so that you always get paid back by those pesky friends who always ‘forget’…

• Easy link to Monzo.me within each transaction, so you can split bills with friends in a heartbeat. Thump thump.

And:

• Updated limits – accessible from within your Profile. We’ve made it all whizz-bangy and slidey, as well as included better prompts for when you’re nearing those limits so you don’t hit ‘em accidentally.
• Better VoiceOver support – if you use this, please give us your feedback and let us know what’s working and not working! We want to make it perfecto.
• Bug fixes galore – identity verification is clearer, Search searches all transactions (because it’s search so that’s what it should do), no more disappearing push notifications, an improved replacement card flow and better errors when top-ups aren’t working. Wowee, that was a mouthful eh?! Well, they’re all working much better now.

Have a wonderful week friends!

You know when other apps write things like “Bug fixes and performance enhancements” in their release notes and it’s really annoying because you don’t know what changed? Yeah, we feel you.

Unfortunately this time, there’s not much else to write — this update is mainly…you guessed it…bug fixes and performance enhancements. For the technical among you, we’ve upgraded to Swift 3 (a newer version of the language the Monzo app is written in), so that should lay groundwork for the future. We’ve also fixed an issue that lots of people reported where they were continually logged out. Sorry about that one.

Don’t panic though! We’re working on an exciting new feature that should make using Monzo.me much easier to use — coming in the next update. Watch this space

Back at work? So are we. New year, new you. Let’s do this. Dust your Christmas body off for an update from your friends at Monzo. And join the gym.

• View your PIN in the app if you have Touch ID. Visit the Card tab to give it a go and activate it. Which brings us nicely on to…
• A redesigned Card tab. We’ve separated out your Profile settings and cleaned it all up for 2017. Which brings us nicely on to…
• More details of the limits on the Monzo Beta card and Monzo.me. It’s all in the new Card settings section. Which brings us nicely on to…
• Just kidding. That’s it! We fixed some miscellaneous bugs and of course made a bunch of performance improvements, because that’s what all the cool kids do.

All the New Year love and support to you, wonderful Monzonauts

Imagine if you could send anyone a link, which they could use to pay you using their existing debit card from a boring, old-school bank?! And if they had a Monzo account, it automatically prefilled a payment to you in their app?! And imagine if that was totally free?! And instant?! And beautiful?!

Well… you guessed it… we did it. Monzo.me is here! Create your own page with your unique username and send the link to anyone. It takes them less than a minute to pay you (typing speed dependent) and the money is in your account instantly. Go check it out under the Request tab of Contacts!

We also improved Golden Tickets to make them even better. Now, once you’ve received a ticket and someone uses it, you get another to use on someone else. We’re like real life Willy Wonkas with golden retrievers.

And we didn’t stop there. Oh no. We fixed a bunch of those pesky bugs you wonderful people keep reporting and also put in a beautiful new animation when you freeze and defrost your card. It’s pretty cool. At least, we think it is.

Have a wonderful day Monzonauts.

We have an update – and nobody does updates better than us, believe me – it's the best update. The best update. It makes Monzo tremendous to use with friends. Tremendous.

• An all new Contacts tab that lets you see which of your clever friends are already on Monzo, easily send them money and more importantly, receive money from them.
• Magstripe ATM support for when you’re travelling and need to withdraw cash. Turn it on for 24 hours in the Profile and withdraw away (with no fees, obvs).
• Logout bug fixes. They were pretty annoying but we think we’ve fixed the last of ‘em. Hopefully.
• Notification settings. Turn instant payment notifications on or off from your Profile, just in case you want a few less emoji in your life. Which would be weird.

That’s all for this update!

Ooops. We accidentally stopped new users from receiving notifications with transactions. Which kind of makes the whole instant notifications thing a bit pointless. Sorry about that — it's now fixed! Have a great day :)

Greetings to you, the lucky finder of this app update, from Monzo! We shake you warmly by the hand! Tremendous things are in store for you! Many wonderful surprises await you!

Along with a new feature we’ll be testing (hint, hint), we’ve also squeezed in:

• Improved instructions for topping up by bank transfer. It’s easy and efficient, so why not give it a go?
• More fixes for bugs with Touch ID protection. We must have them all by now!
• Various fixes and improvements to our new Targets feature, so it keeps you even more on target. Is that even possible?
• A more affordable initial top up for students — the new generation need all the help they can get.
• A bazillion (well, some) other bug fixes and tweaks to make your experience as smooth as a very smooth piece of smooth material.

We are preparing other surprises that are even more marvellous and even more fantastic for you! Coming soon…

Updates coming thick and fast now! This makes a few improvements and lays the groundwork for something even more exciting…

• Merchants without a logo now come with a colourful category icon to prettify your feed. Grey initials are boring. We used to do this, then we changed it, now we’re changing it back. Progress yo.
• The identity verification process is now easier, with the option of signing instead of speaking. All suggestions and feedback on this very welcome.
• More tweaks to reduce the number of unwanted log outs people are experiencing. Sorry about these — we’ve still got some work to do to fix it completely.
• Secret support for our biggest new feature yet which will magically appear in your app at the beginning of next month. Yep, October. That’s pretty soon.

Have a splendid weekend beautiful people

Seven is the first integer reciprocal with infinitely repeating sexagesimal representation. That’s why with version 1.7, we wanted to bring you something special. Obviously.

*Siri on iOS 10*

You can now use your voice to send money to any of your other contacts that also have Monzo, perfect for when you’re too lazy to use your fingers :)

Siri can be a bit temperamental sometimes while it’s still young; we’ve found using a sentence like: “Send £10 to Andy using Monzo” works best, but feel free to go all experimental.

*iOS 10 support*

If you’ve updated to Apple’s latest and greatest, we’ve also spiffed up our widgets to match the new design and made sure everything works like a charm. We’ve got lots more iOS 10 goodies coming up that we can’t wait to share with you too!

*Bug fixes*

This also fixes a bunch of bugs reported by our users, especially around Touch ID and Search. Please keep the feedback coming. We love it all

If you didn’t manage to pre-order the new iPhone, fear not — Monzo has you covered with this new update (no headphones included)!

This update brings a new Limits page (go to Card => Profile to find it) that shows your spending and top up limits and how much you’ve used of them.

We’re also working hard on some iOS 10 specific features, coming very, very, very soon. Watch this space.

Mondo is now Monzo! We’re incredibly excited to announce our new name and share it with you. You can read all about the change on our blog at monzo.com/blog – we hope you like it!

The great bug squashing release of 2016! Well, August at least. Here’s what we fixed:

• On smaller iPhones, text sometimes overlapped the edge of the screen and was cut off. Having a small iPhone is difficult enough; you should at least be able to see all the text.
• A few of the graphics weren't correctly aligned. That made our Head of Design very sad, so we lined them up.
• You could sometimes top up more than your limits. Which means they weren’t really limits.
• Mondo sometimes forgot to keep your top up card details for next time. Typing a 16 digit card number every time you want to top up is no fun. Fact.

Oh, by the way: on Thursday, your app is going to change forever. Goodbye Mondo, hello M… ;)

Bonjourno! Hola! こんにちは! It’s Monday, so let’s hit the ground running…with a new Mondo update:

— Your Running Balance (that graph thingamajig at the top, formerly known as the Pulse™) is now super silky, smooth and splendid. Because why would you want it any other way?
— We revamped the design! New tabs and more light backgrounds make their debut today and pave the way for future features. Because 3 tabs really isn’t enough for anyone.
— Touch ID bugs have been squashed in their thousands…well…low single digits. But they were squashed and that’s what matters here. Because Touch ID isn’t that useful if it doesn’t work now, is it?
— This release also has a new secret feature that we’ll be enabling in the next few weeks…the clue is in these release notes. We’re clever like that and thunked ahead.

Adios!

Another week, another update! This one brings some yummy treats, including:

​Profile

Protect Mondo from prying eyes by turning on Touch ID and edit your personal details in case you moved house, changed email or just mistyped your name on that pesky keyboard. There's also a little surprise at the bottom that might give you bragging rights in a few years…

Tips and Tricks

Are you a new user? Welcome! We've made it even easier to get started with Mondo by guiding you through some of the supercalifragilisticexpialidocious features and benefits. Become an expert in no time!

Update News

Believe it or not, not everybody reads these release notes :disappointed: So we thought we'd make it a bit clearer—we'll now tell you what's changed when we update Mondo so that you don't miss out.

Other Fixes

CSV exports no longer show declined transactions. Because that was silly.
Declined transactions no longer show in the Merchant History. That was silly too.
We added an FAQ in Chat. And answered the questions.
Search is a bit snappier. Who wants to wait? Not us!

Not bad, eh? Next time we'll just write "Bug fixes and performance improvements"…

So… this is a bit awkward. Our last update made the app crash on launch for some people, which is bad. We fixed it, which is good. Sorry.

This is one of those really boooorrring but really important releases in which you (hopefully) won’t notice anything different in your app (unless we mucked it up…)

We’re moving to a new payment processor behind the scenes and this makes it all hunky dory. The next update is going to be soooo nice though to make up for this boring one.

1.5.0

That’s a big number. It deserves lots of new features right? Right!

We took a look at Search and thought, “We can make this so much better”. So that’s what we did. Search is now fandabbydosey (and magic) – search by categories, retailers, people, time, amount, location and more, all with a couple of taps. The days of CMD+F’ing through your bank statement are long gone. Loooonnnggg gone.

That’s pretty cool huh? But that’s not all. There’s ONE MORE THING (in honour of WWDC this week).

Export options! You can now export your beautiful Mondo feed to CSV and QIF if you’re in to that kind of thing and do whatever you like with it. We won’t judge. Go for it. It works from Search and from the Your Spending screen too, so you can choose exactly what you want to export. We’re nice like that.

That’s it. Not bad for a week’s work. Now we’re going to get back to it.

You know how sometimes release notes are just "bug fixes" and nothing else? Well we actually did that this time. This release fixes one bug, where the app occasionally crashed when tapping declined transactions, sorry about that.

Hello! We’ve just had lunch and thought we’d give you a little update on this bright Friday morning. We’ve got improvements for the foodie, the photographer, and the designer in each of you:

• Eating at a restaurant in the USA? We now give you some more info about the ‘unique’ way they do things over there…cough, cough.
• Moving house often? We’ll now ask you to verify your identity in some pretty clever (and super simple) ways if we can’t do it automatically.
• Finding bugs in Mondo? We’ve fixed a small issue with attachment uploads, another one with sending money and a third with push notifications. All gone. Wham-bam. Boom.

Please keep the feedback coming lovely people. We have some pretty fun stuff coming up soon ;)

This release is all about speed: refreshing your feed should now be oodles faster, and receiving a notification now automatically updates it in the background so that it’s always ready when you need it :)

We’ve also added support for topping up by bank transfer, so you can now set up regular payments to your Mondo account.

Finally, we’ve fixed the niggles with adding receipts to your transactions, made sure that you can always find the right payee when sending money, and revamped transfer stats for when you do.

Have fun!

Do you eat your 5-a-day? This week, we've been eating apples every day which means… lots of love for you iOS power users.

It's version 1.4 featuring:
• A Notification Centre widget to see your balance at a glance
• Spotlight integration to search from your home screen
• Interactive notifications from your lock screen (swipe left on them to see the actions)

…and for you lucky iPhone 6s or 6s Plus owners:

• 3D Touch to access Quick Actions on the Mondo app icon
• “Peek and Pop” actions with 3D Touch to get an instant view in your feed

We also fixed a bunch of bugs and little niggles, including correctly counting declined transactions in your transaction history. Have a great week!

It’s a drab Monday, so what better way to cheer yourself up than an update to your Mondo app full of bug fixes and improvements?

It includes clever things like being able to remove informational feed items (like active card checks), as well as making it clearer to our brethren outside of the UK when they might get Mondo.

Have a great day Mondonauts :)

A bonanza of a release to mark our first major update for the App Store! We've made improvements across the app and fixed lots of snags under the hood. A few highlights for our wonderful users – now you can:

• Submit better merchant information to beautify your feed
• Order a replacement card if you lose yours
• Read and join in on the community forum within the app
• See the exchange rate for your foreign transactions (with no fees!)
• Check the reason your transaction declined
• Revel in improvements to Your Spending, P2P and logging in
• Enjoy even more animation goodness on the waiting list

Enjoy!

Lots of little fixes for our signup process, as well as improvements to P2P payments and a fix for a crash that snuck in.

Sign-ins to the app will now need to be verified by email. This is a first step towards comprehensive multi-factor authentication that will make Mondo more secure while still being a pleasure to use.

We’ve fixed some pesky bugs – less jankiness when you search, less jankiness on an iPhone 4S, less jankiness in the UI.

Lots of small fixes:

• Made some speed improvements, especially on launching
• We now double check you're getting notifications when you update
• Some little UI improvements
• Removed some annoyances around the dashboard

Thanks for all the feedback!
