[LiE]

How many of you are on Monzo+ I had the trial a few weeks back and I quite liked the temporary digital cards and it's got me tempted but not sure if it's really worth it or not

If it offered the same features as my Natwest account I'd switch

A virtual card works just like a normal debit card, but it’s linked to one of your Spaces instead of your main balance.

Yeah cancelled my monzo premium (had additional benefits) but the main one was for virtual cards after setting up my starling with a recommendation from here a few weeks ago.

I'll Still make use of monzo flex though my fave offering they offer for my needs.

Got my physical Monzo flex card today.

Had an email to say virtual cards are now available for joint account spaces. Can't see it yet. Anyone else?

Will be super handy for reoccurring card payments like Amazon Prime, Spotify, etc.

Yeah, been using it for ages with a virtual card.

The physical card can now be used to pay at the pump.

Yup, had to revert to other cards. They have got a notification in the app and on their status page (https://chaseuk.statuspage.io/incidents/mnrh9y95nn1s), so worth keeping an eye on it.

Kroo Bank now up to 3.85% from 1st July. Pretty certain another interest rate hike is on the way, so this is in anticipation of that.

Considering they're such a big bank they can't seem to keep their backend systems running very well.

Yeah, they have had a few issues recently. Not sure which cloud provider they are using but it seems like they've gone with the cheap option!

Been using my Monzo as my "spends" account and I am now in the process of switching my high street bank account over to Starling for my "main" account.

Used Monzo abroad recently with no issues what so ever which is all you ask for!
