The Mombo App is changing: we've had a makeover

This Tuesday, 8th June 2021, we’ll start upgrading everyone to the shiny new Mombo 3.0 app.

This is Mombo for the future. We’ve outgrown our current app, and it’s time to shake things up. Right now there are features that customers tell us they have a hard time finding (like loan guarantee), and we plan to add a lot more to Mombo very soon…

Here's what's happening

  1. Don’t worry: you don’t need to do anything, and this won’t affect your money, or any balances, in any way. It’s not a change to your actual Sacco account, it’s just about the way the app looks.
  2. You’ll still be able to do everything you can now, but things are going to look and feel different.
  3. We’ll be emailing everyone on the old version of the app to let them know that this change is coming.
  4. On 7th June, we’ll start moving people across. We’ll do it in stages, and you’ll get a notification from us to let you know when you can try it out. When we do move you over, the change will be instant – the next time you open the app, you’ll see the new version!

We've outgrown the current Mombo app

The current app was originally designed with a techie mindset. As we’ve added more features over the years it’s becoming obvious we need to evolve — we want Mombo to be the centre of your financial life, the home for everything to do with your money but with the customer at the center of our design. We hope this new version of the app, and the features we’re launching along with it, can tempt you away from your old bank and/or Sacco for good.

You might notice we removed the Assets and liabilities from the home screen. It’s something we introduced in 2018 and it was no longer serving the purpose it was originally designed for. But don’t worry, in the future we want to take some of the core functionality from Assets and Liabilities and make it more useful for the product we have today. 

We've made it easier to find new and existing features

Customers sometimes tell us they have a hard time finding new features in the app. Lots of people don’t know that we offer loans, or that we have things like Savings, or Insurance.

With the new app we’ve made it much easier to see everything you can do with your Mombo account.

We’ve given you more visibility of your money

Switching between your different accounts, and other things you’ve added to your Mombo is much simpler – now you can quickly swipe between them.

We've made room for the Mombo that's coming

We’re not done yet. We have some new features that we’ll be releasing soon; keep an eye out on our blog for more announcements soon.

When it comes to the new app structure itself, one problem high on our list to solve next is how to deliver a budget tool that gives you a complete overview of your financial life in a neatly organised place, just one tap away on your side menu. It’s part of our effort to give you more visibility of your money, and put you in control of your spending.

We want to build the right tools to give you visibility of where you stand today, to put you in control of your spending and make better decisions. It’s all part of our journey to make money work for everyone.

Building it with you

For the last few months, we’ve been developing the new version of Mombo with you. We got over 1,000 pieces of feedback from social media community, feedback through customer support, street and lab testing. We also called customers to hear what they thought, and ran satisfaction surveys. The qualitative feedback loop was a critical part of our product process.

We’ll continue bringing you into the centre of everything we do. Thank you to everyone that contributed to this project, through your feedback, insights, and challenge! We couldn’t have done this without you.
