Yes I can imagine Adam having a side gig. Iād actually be surprised if he didnāt, or if indeed FreeTrade itself began as a side gig.
A healthy indicator of what? If you mean Monzo will be more healthy because of his departure,I couldnāt agree moreā:+1:
Healthy indicator of hiring the right talent. Ie Monzo wouldnāt be where it is without him
Which is a good thing??? I actually think you are agreeing with me in a roundabout way
Iām definitely not
Did Tristanās business affect his job at Monzo or you are just speculating? There are companies who encourage their employees to do what they do besides their 9-5 as far as it does not interfer with their paid job.
Seems to be quite a few ex employees doing things that can be distribution partners for Monzo. If he went higher end on wine or got to be known then whats not to stop his company being able to lend so that people could buy wine. He could charge 12% or so like the rental deposit guys are planning and Monzo charge him say 3 or 4% and gets some of their deposits working. Actually with licencing problem more likely that he became a marketer of lending for buying wine
Interesting articleā¦
A head of marketing at a bank with millions of customers usually isnāt a 9-5 role
In my youth, when Switch/Solo cards were a thing and they had an Issue Number on the front alongside expiry dates, I went through so many lost & replacement cards that Natwest had to get IT involved (apparently) because there wasnāt an āIssue 10ā and they needed to circle me back to Issue 1 for my latest replacement.
Oops. So yeah, more banks should probably do this.
In Japan, and soon everywhere, banks are going to have to add more than 16 digits on debt/credit cards as we are running out of new combinations.
Thoughts?
Always a sucker for metal cards
I unsubscribed from Plus recently because I wasnāt too into the benefits, donāt see the added features here swinging me, either
itās in line with Nationwideās offering. I would consider it if I had a family and went on regular holidays.
To be fair if youāve got Ā£2,000 in a pot youāll get back Ā£30 for the year (i.e. 2 months free Premium), making it around Ā£12.50 a month.
Decent phone insurance alone is about Ā£10 isnāt it? Plus the travel insuranceā¦ doesnāt sound too bad.
I signed up to plus, but was going to cancel it, yet this may actually sway me to upgrade as I need the insurance!
The nationwide offering gives family travel insurance, breakdown cover, and phone insurance for you and your family for Ā£2 less a month.
The two offerings seem quite different
The difference is that Nationwide gives breakdown cover where Monzo goes for 1.5% interest up to Ā£2000 and up to Ā£600 free cash withdrawals in their price which is pretty good if you travel to Asia for holidays. If you get the maximum interest then itās Ā£12.50pm
Massive Monzo fan and investor but Iām close to cancelling my Plus because itās offering is poor and this Premium offering isnāt exciting me either. A real shame. Every new release seems to headline with a shiny new card and then padding beneath that trying to make it seem worthwhile. Iām sure there are other POVs to disagree with this but Iām struggling to understand releasing a phone and travel insurance offering when weāre on the brink of another national lockdown and hardly anybody is travelling anyway.
Global travel insurance? What jokers.
They had an opportunity to launch a product that offered something different and relevant - instead theyāve gone with what everyone else did pre Covid.
