As a young person, I'm told repeateadly by elders that I should focus on my credit score, so that when (if ever!) I'm in the market to buy a house, the banks won't do me a dirty 🏦
A key component in building your score is ensuring that you do not miss a payment.
Now, clearly, to do this you must have the money to pay off your statement. Yet the purpose of a credit card is to pay with money that you don't yet have. hmmmm 🤔
So I'm thinking, if using my credit card impacted my debit card balance, it'd be tougher to overspend!
So spawns this tool - designed to maintain pots within your Monzo account(s) that you can withdraw from when the time comes to pay your bills 💸
