Monzo to take on Tesco and Asda with mobile phone service
Monzo is exploring harnessing its brand to offer a mobile phone service to its 12 million-plus account holders. The online bank is in talks with mobile operators about using one of their networks to offer a Monzo-branded service. Such a tie-up would put the company in competition with a number of other so-called mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs), including Tesco, Asda, Sky and giffgaff. Monzo has already expanded its product range to include pensions, investments and insurance, but this would be one of its first forays outside financial services. 'Monzo is known for transforming products — and an entire industry — to deliver a great experience for customers,' a spokesperson said. 'So when we heard from our customers that mobile contracts can be a pain point, we set out to explore how we could do this the Monzo way.' The development is understood to be at an early stage with no launch date yet set. MVNOs have no physical masts or infrastructure, but buy wholesale access to the system from one of the three incumbents: the BT-owned EE, Virgin Media 02 or Vodafone Three. They then package up offerings, choosing their own service mix and pricing. • Is it game over for Britain's challenger banks? Tesco Mobile is reportedly the biggest MVNO, with as many as five million customers. Monzo plans to offer a more attractive service after listening to common complaints about mobile phone package suppliers by clients on its own community pages. Other digital finance suppliers are poised to enter the market, with Revolut and Klarna both aiming to offer mobile services. Octopus, the energy supplier, is also examining a mobile offering, according to the Financial Times, which first reported Monzo's interest. Monzo, founded in 2015, is one of the fastest-growing digital banks in Britain, with customer numbers growing by 2.4 million to more than 12 million in the year to March. Revenues were up by 48 per cent to £1.2 billion in the same period, with deposits pushing through the £16 billion mark. Underlying profits grew eightfold to £114 million. • Community Fibre eyes mobile market launch to rival big networks It has already launched tie-ups with other providers, forming an alliance with BlackRock to sell a range of exchange-traded funds — low-cost investment products. Other tie-ups include contents insurance using Chubb and travel insurance using Zurich. As a branchless bank, most of Monzo's customers use mobile phones to go into their accounts. The Financial Conduct Authority fined the bank £21 million last month for a string of weaknesses in safeguards to prevent money laundering over a period of almost four years up to June 2022 — failings now 'firmly in the past', Monzo said.

Amazon beats Dyson with £100 off cordless vacuum that 'makes cleaning so much easier'
Amazon beats Dyson with £100 off cordless vacuum that 'makes cleaning so much easier' Amazon has undercut Dyson on its 'most powerful' V8 vacuum cleaner, offering Brits more than 31% off. The Dyson V8 Advanced is 31% off at Amazon. Amazon has beaten Dyson as it slashes more than £100 off a cordless vacuum that's said to make cleaning 'so much easier'.

This represents a 31% price cut from the usual £329.99 and is slightly cheaper than Dyson's own £229.99 price tag. This model is touted as Dyson's 'most powerful' V8 ever, delivering 10% more suction compared to previous Dyson V8s. It boasts a digital motor that spins at up to 110,000rpm to generate 130 Air Watts of suction, with two settings including Eco mode or the more powerful MAX mode for more intense cleaning. It's powered by an advanced six-cell battery that provides up to 40 minutes of runtime, while a de-tangling motorbar cleaner head prevents tangles and sucks up long hair and pet hair from all floor types. This also ensures deep cleaning of carpets and removes dust and debris from hard floors. The V8 Advanced is said to be lightweight for quick and versatile cordless cleaning and can also be transformed to a handheld vacuum for getting into hard-to-reach places around the house and car. As well as the vacuum cleaner, buyers will also receive a combination tool for quick switching between cleaning and dusting tasks, plus a crevice tool for narrower spaces. Other affordable devices include the Shark PowerPro Cordless Stick Vacuum (£179.99), which is hailed for its 'exceptional cleaning performance' and 'powerful hair pickup'. Dyson V8 Advanced Cordless Vacuum Cleaner £329.99 £229 Amazon Get the deal here Product Description Amazon has slashed £100.99 off the Dyson V8 Advanced Cordless Vacuum Cleaner. There's also the Hoover HF1+ Home Cordless Vacuum Cleaner (£99), which comes with a specially designed tool for tackling pet hair. But for those sticking with Dyson, the V8 Advanced Cordless Vacuum Cleaner has achieved a 4.5-star rating after more than 3,500 reviews. One happy customer said: 'I'm really impressed with the Dyson V8. It's super lightweight, powerful and makes cleaning so much easier than I expected. I love that it converts to a handheld – perfect for the sofa and the car. The battery lasts around 35–40 minutes and it does a great job picking up even pet hair. It was worth every penny.' Another said: 'This is brilliant. The suction tremendous, and best of all the pet hair remover. I have three dogs and with all my other vacuums I had to clean the brush head constantly, but not with this one. I have used this several times now and not once had to clean the brush head.' 'It's lightweight, powerful and makes cleaning so much easier'. Article continues below Others have criticised the Dyson V8's 40-minute battery life, as this buyer said: 'The battery does not last long enough and the replacement is too expensive to keep purchasing.' While another five-star review said: 'Lightweight and easy to use, excellent cleaner. Purchased this for my elderly mother and she finds it easy to use. Powerful without being too heavy to push around. The battery lasts long enough to do the full house.'

Some of the gorgeous plants included vibrant pink and purple blooms - and there was plenty of greenery to add to her garden. According to Lesley, ''all'' branches should be running the offer, she told other members of the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group. ''I scanned them on my smart shop app.'' While most of these came in nursery pots, you could easily put them in more stylish pots - and there are plenty of second-hand options available in charity shops. And it's not just Lesley raving about the cut-price bargain, as dozens of people flooded to comments to share their finds. One Sainsbury's shopper said: ''Thank you for your post I was at my store at 7am and managed to get 30 plants.'' Someone else chimed in: ''Thank you OP [original poster].
