Monzo / Mondo / Revolut banking

I foubd myself going over budget a lot so I used the IFTT integration to create a home screen widget to track my days spend.
Seems to be working.

Monzo notification tells me that anyway.

Maybe you don't get that feature on iOS?

It tells me if I open the app and look, and the pinging notification doesn't quite do it for me.

Also, is android

That’s an android screenshot, I get the Monzo notification on iOS and watchOS personally

Interesting.

When I use the card I get a notification telling me what I spent and if I make multiple purchases I get a notification with a daily running total as well.

Maybe check your notification settings?

I just tend to dismiss it and swipe it away.
I spend £8 and immediately I get told I just spent £8.
It's the wrong moment in my day to help me reflect on my running expenditure.

I need ongoing visibility so I don't end up going into the shop and spendibg the £8

Revolut notifications also tell me the total I spent that day.

edit: oh, I'm just repeating things others already mentioned. Nevermind me

Haha tbh I agree with you, my notifications are always, you spent £3 making it £21 for the day or whatever, at which point it’s too late.
Knowing what I’ve spent today ahead of the purchase, Apple Pay screen maybe? Would be beneficial

Is it possible to turn off the email notification every time I transfer money from Revolut to another bank account?
There is no "click here to unsubscribe" or some sort at the end of the mail, haha

Who's gone for the Metal Revolut card?

Tempting but a bit too pricey given that I have a load of that stuff with Amex that I don't use. May change my mind if rumours of airport lounge access are true (although I suspect in reality it will still be paying to access them).

I did try Premium and one really good thing is disposable virtual cards. It sets up a one-off card that expires as soon as you use it. Great for those subscriptions where you only want a month but just know that you'll forget to cancel it (or that cancelling it will require a load of time on the phone).

I’ve done it - but only because the cash back should offset the increase in fee and I like the increased withdrawal limit.

I also like the virtual cards and I’m a sucker for a marketing gimmick!

A colleagues maternity gift collection is being done via monzo.

I sold some gig tickets on a forum and the geezer ask "do you have Monzo"

My wife now has Monzo.

The tide is turning.

Was a bit annoyed when I wasn't picked out of the raffle for investing on Crowdcube a couple of years ago. Moreso now. Ho hum.

I dunno man... I could see this MarketPlace dieection falling flat

I put a bit of money in the last time they raised, which is handily now 'worth' 2.5x what it was (not that it means anything until/unless they exit)

Are there any other apps/credit cards/banks that offer virtual disposable cards (i.e. one-off cards for online transactions)?

I really like that feature of Revolut but I'm struggling to justify paying for premium membership just for that.

Hey, you can use Revolut to park spare cash as euros. Could be a tidy little earner around March the 29th 😉

justify paying for premium membership

Do you have to? I don't and I have that option.

Are you sure, looks to be a premium option https://www.revolut.com/pricing I don't remember it from when I was on the free version.

If you tap that option, you'll be directed to premium/metal membership

@aggi @bibimbap That's strange, I just did and it activated.

It just activates for me as well, no need to be premium? I think you can have a maximum number of cards when not premium though

Hmm, that's the virtual card. The disposable one automatically changes number each time you use it.

I guess the question is, are you limited in the number of virtual cards you can generate if you're a free user?
