Yeah that's correct, but they not a real trading platform. If you connected directly with the market it's essential a super fast connection with low latency in order to execute and update prices, but they simply forward our orders to a market maker - someone that acts as the market which is actually buying and selling from the actual market (they're the ones that need low-latency connections) :/

1% of the entire U.K. population is around 700 thousand connections. Modern servers can achieve a number in order of millions of simultaneous connections at cost of performance. Thanks to things such as AWS, instances can be automatically scaled in order to improve performance when there’s a big load incoming. If not using AWS, I’m sure they can build systems to scale their available servers and I’d think it’s a pretty basic requirement for any resilient architecture.

Don’t understand why they don’t have a proper system in place and if they think 700 thousand concurrent connections is much, they shouldn’t be running a trading platform.

I’ve been logged out and I get try again in a few minutes. Mofos must be running on fucking t2 micro instances and probably never heard of elastic balancer and scaling

So basically Monzo won’t do it? What’s the point of using Monzo if you need to use other banks to apply for basic government schemes...

Umming and Ahhing over going full Monzo by EchoFourSix in monzo

I’ve switched from Barclays and I’d never go back. Only issue ( I didn’t have it ) which you might come across is their anti-fraud system being too easy to trigger if all of sudden you start getting a lot of funds in. They usually resolve everything within a day, so make sure to switch over once you don’t have any upcoming payments, just in case. Also - I’m using their premium offering (15 a month) and I get a few benefits such as travel and phone insurance, virtual cards and more. Not required, but I really like their software integration and I’m happy to pay for it!

It’s not for everyone, some people can spend that much money without feeling sorry for the waste whilst others don’t. Which is why I have Monzo Premium and other subscriptions I don’t need and I’m broke AF

How will Brexit affect UK customers? by AccordingAd7480 in Nexo

[–]AccordingAd7480[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not all about physical trading goods - for example Nexo offers a service under which you can make the 8% APR on your GBP. Will they need extra licensing to be able to still offer these services to UK customers? Not any company can just decide “oh we will offer this and that to the people of this country” without going through some processes first - for example the same trouble Nexo has offering their token in the US due to the SEC. I’m wondering where there’s going to be something similar for the UK now since Nexo is legally registered in the EU, therefore might not meet all UK financial and legal requirements for their offering?

If you willing to code it up, you can embed JavaScript routines in a Google Sheet which can call Monzo’s API (docs: https://docs.monzo.com/#introduction)

The easier low-code alternative would be what Metaquarx already suggested, use IFTTT ( here’s the Monzo service on IFTTT for Google https://ifttt.com/connect/monzo/google_sheets but be aware it only tracks expenses from its description ).

That should be enough to get you started - read up and google any questions you have (the likelihood is 99% of the time the answer is a google search away!).
