Right, so that's not the thing. Engagement is how much do you use Monzo, right? We don't look at it, so we look at it in terms of weekly transacting usage, not just revenue active. You could have a lazy balance with us and be making money for Monzo. I don't think of you as an active customer. Are you using the product? So that's engagement. Why is that important?

An example, we talked about investments a lot today, but when we launched our investments product, I literally did one press interview. And by that evening, we had 150,000 customers add themselves to the waiting list for the Monzo investments product. Distribution is the outcome of something. And I'm saying that it's the outcome of engagement and trust with us.

But that incredible customer base is not an accident, right? And that's the point. It's come about... Because we've built that love and trust. It's because warm, fuzzy words like mission are not warm, fuzzy words for us. It's about saying, how does it actually connect with the customer? What's the real problem we're trying to solve? And how do we stay maniacally obsessed with that?

There's a second piece of this, because what we're effectively building out, Harry, is a consumer platform where engagement is measured in the trust that customers place with Monzo, the love that they have for Monzo. By the way, here's a trivia question. Do you know how many times more likely it is that a customer uses the word love when they're writing a review about Monzo?
