I've been using Monzo for a few years now and also have some friends there. I have to say the app is just amazing, none of the traditional banks even come close to what Monzo provide. There is nothing overly complex to it - but it just works. Shows you things you would expect a bank to be able to show you, for example the name of the shop where you made a purchase and it's location. Rather than some random name of a parent company. Sending money to friends has also become so easy now, I make Monzo to Monzo payments on a weekly basis it just works. I've heard they're great to work for too. Would be interested in working there myself one day.

> name of the shop where you made a purchase and it's location. i would hope that this data can be obfuscated or hidden if the end user desires it.

  Hidden from who though? The bank obviously needs to know the exact business because what if a dispute opens over the charge. And the end user presumably would like to check that they actually made the purchase so they will need to see the details.

    I’m guessing they were considering the possibility of a curious spouse/partner looking at your records. Which to me seems far, far less likely to happen with an app-based transaction history than a traditional paper statement posted out to you.

      If your spouse is checking your bank statements you're probably in an abusive relationship. Hiding things from them seems like a huge red flag in this respect, too (though I'll admit that perhaps gifts are a valid exception here).

  You can do that with Revolut. I am not seeing that option in Monzo.

  Monzo was really great to use, and a step in the right direction for banks, so nice job with that! I ended up closing my account when you switched to being a 'proper' bank, but for the couple of months I used it, it was very good. As for the jobs, fully remote would be ideal, but at least you're offering it at all :). London is such an expensive place, even spending 1 week out of 5 there would be £££.

I love Monzo for the instant payments between account holders. That said, since I stopped working in London I've barely used it - up north I don't run into many people that use Monzo.
