No updates other than some bug fixes this week. But we won’t leave you without a bit of historical money trivia. Aegina became the first city state to issue coins in Ancient Greece. The noble Aeginans of old were particularly proud of their seafaring skills – so they featured turtles on their shiny new currency. That’s what we call turtle power.

We've been fixing bugs and doing general maintenance this week. But when we have something exciting to share, you'll be the first to know! (Assuming you're the first person to check this space of course...)

No updates for you this week, we’ve been busy with general maintenance.
Did you know that there are two cash machines in Antarctica? They’re both located at the McMurdo Station US Antarctica research centre. Only one of them is in use at a time, with the other one being there for parts or spare things they might need to keep its neighbour alive and operational.

We’ve been busy banishing bugs. I wish the same could be said about the humongous spider that’s made a home outside my bedroom window.

Not every week is filled with big news. And it's one of those weeks. We've been busy behind the scenes – doing a
little general maintenance here. Fixing a few bugs there. It's those little things that count.
5.34.0
We've been fixing bugs and making small improvements to keep your app running smoothly. You know what doesn't run smoothly? Me, during a 10K.

Bug fixes and general maintenance this week. How about a word fact though? (We like words at Monzo.) The term 'bank' comes from an Italian word 'banco', meaning a bench, since Italian merchants in the Renaissance made deals to borrow and lend money beside a bench which they placed the money on.
5.30.0
We've been tinkering and fixing as usual, but no big news this week.
We have a bank-related fact though if you're interested? Did you know that since 1953, the Italian bank Credito Emiliano has been accepting Parmesan cheese as collateral for small business loans?

Nothing to announce this week folks, just bug fixes and general improvements. I'll tell you what isn't nothing though: The Meg with Jason Statham. That, friends, is really something.

Nothing groundbreaking to report this week. We've been debugging away, making sure everything's running smoothly for you. That's all for now.

Our update's coming to you in the form of a haiku this time around. Here it goes. Bug fixing this week.
There's nothing more to report.
We'll see you next time.

Nothing to report this week. We’re working on the usual bug fixes and general maintenance. So here’s a fact for you. The oldest bank in the world is Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena in Tuscany. It dates all the way back to 1472. That’s over a whopping 550 years old. Makes us feel rather young.

Here's a couple of extra things you can now do in Monzo:
- You can now block other payees who have a Monzo account, so you can stop them sending you any unwanted requests and payments.
- If you're a business customer, you can now choose and use your own invoice numbers. And if you have a Pro plan, you can also sync your transactions with Google Sheets.

It's another one of those weeks. We're busy bug fixing and keeping everything ticking along. Because of that, there's nothing big to tell you about. Until next time…

Nothing exciting to tell you about this week, just general maintenance. But that’s okay with us. After all, if every day was your birthday, would the cake still taste as good?

The seasons are changing and the trees are shedding their leaves. Not to be all metaphorical about it, but that’s pretty similar to what we’re doing at Monzo right now – shedding some weight from the app to make room for new things this Autumn.

This week we fixed a bug that was showing a blank payment authentication screen. We did other things too, but the rest was mostly general maintenance.

Nil. Nada. Nought. Three words which are fun to say out loud and also mean absolutely nothing.
What we're really trying to say is, there's nothing much to update you on this week, outside of the usual bug fixes and maintenance.

General maintenance again this week. We do have a money-related fact though.
In the Middle Ages, people saved money in jars and dishes made out of orange clay called ‘pygg’. By the 19th century, potters made pig shaped containers when asked to make pygg banks, and that’s how they became the pink ceramic pigs we have today.

Since we're busy fixing bugs, here are some uses for your Monzo card in a heatwave:
• As a miniature fan to cool yourself down
• Generating a very small rectangle of shade
• As a coaster for an iced drink
• Budget frisbee in the park
• Actually buying things like ice creams
Stay safe out there, folks!

New to Monzo Flex: You can now manage your Flex limit (the amount of credit you can use to pay off purchases in instalments) straight from the app. Whether you’re decreasing your limit or requesting a higher limit, once you confirm, the change is effective straight away.
Head to Flex in the app and choose “change limit” in the ‘manage’ tab to get started.

"You say it best, when you say nothing at all.” That doesn’t apply to release notes – we’d rather tell you about something cool if we could, but that isn't possible this week.
Plenty of bug fixing and general maintenance going on but nothing in the way of announcements. We won’t let you leave empty-handed though.
Did you know that Ronan Keating’s 1999 ‘When You Say Nothing At All’ was originally a hit for country singer Keith Whitely? You do now!

Plus and Premium customers can now see merchant logos for transactions on other accounts, for a better view of their overall spending. Nice.
