Monzo vs Focus FS Ltd

My understanding is that the latter is the actual company name and the former is the company's trading name. We should probably standardise on the former for the article.

Right now the company infobox uses the legal company name and a lot (but not all) of the references also use the same legal name. To add to the confusion some of my references are attributed to "Mondo" which is obviously incorrect now!

Adam williams (talk) 22:59, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A quick update on this: Tom Blomfield referred to Focus FS Ltd as the company's "old name" in a talk I was at a few days ago because they had to "choose a name quickly" when it was incorporated. I'd suggest we refer to the company as Monzo throughout the article. The "Name change" section includes info on where "Focus FS Ltd" comes from. Adam williams (talk) 18:18, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The legal name remains Focus FS Ltd and this is clearly stated on the website "Monzo is the trading name of Focus FS Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (No. 09446231)" Cordyceps-Zombie (talk) 12:18, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

09446231 is MONZO BANK LIMITED (and has been for a while now), so the legal name Focus FS Ltd seems less and less relevant. Adam Williams (talk) 16:05, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Monzo (bank). Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added {{dead link}} tag to https://getmondo.co.uk/blog/2016/08/25/monzo/

I work for Monzo and would like to request an edit to this article. (According to Wikipedia's COI policies, this is the best way to do this).

Please change the address to "38 Finsbury Square, London EC2A 1PX". Thanks! Cookywook (talk) 10:17, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request reply 03-SEP-2018

Edit request implemented

Address changed to 38 Finsbury Square, London EC2A 2EP, UK (not 1PX), per the Monzo website's Google maps inlay. Please notify if this is incorrect. spintendo 00:23, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Spintendo: 1PX is correct. One source is https://monzo.com/legal/terms-and-conditions/ Cookywook (talk) 07:55, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request - 28/1/19

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

I work for Monzo and would like to request an edit to this article.

The latest edit added this line: Blomfield has indicated that community centres will be created around the country.

This isn't currently planned (and it lacks a source). So it needs removing.

Thanks. Cookywook (talk) 17:12, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request implemented

The claim was unreferenced and violated WP:NOTACRYSTALBALL.

Regards, Spintendo 17:56, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So was this request implemented? (And then reverted?) Unclear. Zezen (talk) 08:14, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Monzo (bank) → Monzo
Monzo → Monzo (disambiguation)

– Monzo is by far the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, with more pageviews than all other contenders by two orders of magnitude. I tried it with a csd-g6 but got bounced. - hahnch e n 18:52, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Pageviews indicate an overwhelming primary topic. Station1 (talk) 02:16, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I agree the bank is the primary topic. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 14:19, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Neither the video game nor the Transformers character looks especially significant, and none of the people seems to be primarily known by surname alone. Narky Blert (talk) 16:55, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It was never a WP:G6 candidate - page history needs to be preserved. Narky Blert (talk) 16:58, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I was trying to g6 the obsolete Monzo (disambiguation) redirect. - hahnch e n 19:28, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom; page views show a clear PRIMARYTOPIC. – DarkGlow (talk) 17:25, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Proposal to update logo

I work for Monzo, and I understand it's not best practice for Monzo employees to edit the Wikipedia page.

We have recently refreshed our branding, and the logo shown on the Wikipedia page is now out of date.

The new branding, including logo assets, can be found here: https://monzo.com/press/ 2A02:C7C:3958:4000:9933:E2B7:672:9536 (talk) 10:44, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Request: Logo

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

I work for Monzo and would like to request an edit to this article. (According to Wikipedia's COI policies, this is the best way to do this).

Please update the logo to our latest version, this can be found in our Press kit at monzo.com/press. We requested the change before in December but didn't use an edit request so I guess it got missed. Thanks! Cookywook (talk) 09:06, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
