Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

#4643 implemented banners on mobile for recommended budget actions, but even on a larger phone, the banners take up a significant portion of the screen until the conditions are met for them to be removed. There is no way to dismiss them or prevent them from appearing in the first place.

For users who prefer to use the envelope budgeting method and are paid throughout the month, this results in at least one semi-permanent red banner that just becomes noise after a while. This is likely to train those users to ignore other banners over time.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

As an MVP solution, users should have the ability to toggle the visibility of each type of banner in Settings. For users who would prefer a less permanent method, the ability to temporarily dismiss each banner with a swipe or by tapping a button could be helpful as well. The delay before having a banner re-appear could be fixed, say 24 hours, or possibly user-defined.

Alternately, a potentially more involved solution that is likely the most ideal would be the addition of a notification button at the top right of the screen that opens a new view, modal window, or pop-out section to display the banners. The button's icon would need an indicator for maximum effectiveness.

Teaching and learning

Documentation in the appropriate page(s) on the existence of the toggles or notification panel would be useful, perhaps linked to the page on Envelope Budgeting. For a notification panel, the prominence of its button would make it organically discoverable.
