Monese Money Account reviews (5954)

Excellent bank! And free £10 for signing up!

5
Swapped from Barclays as the app is very outdated, and Barclays charge if I use my card in the EU, never looked back! One of the best banks I have ever used, simple but efficient app! And free up to £200 to with withdraw from cash points in the EU ( I generally use mine in Belgium) if you do decide to give it a go use referral code SAMKE738 for a free £10 ! Absolutely no catch! Also just to add it took about 5 mins for them to open my account which I verified with my passport Reviewed on: 10th September 2019

Blocked account

Blocked my account on 29/7 for security reasons!! Not sure what was the security issue. They dont answer any e mails , phone calls get ignored. I have asked them several times to close my account and refund my money, Ignored. Surely there must be held accountable for keeping people's money!!! Stay away from Monese Reviewed on: 27th August 2019

Scammers

1
Closed my account and now will not return my money. Been 2 months now and lost my home and in so much debt to friends so I could buy food. My emails get ignored. I call 4 times a day with no information. This company is happy to put people on the streets and I will make sure every social media platform is made aware of the scam. Get a generic response 'sorry to hear you having trouble and we cannot discuss on social media, call our office and get help. Nonsense. I call and get no help. Call backs are not returned. Two friends have learnt from my experience and the service provided and are closing their account before this happens to them. I have no money and cannot even afford my anti depressants. Company like this is why people lose the will to live. Reviewed on: 14th July 2019

Frozen account

They freeze your account and can terminate without any notice. I have over £18,000 in the account and cannot reach it. It's a scam to take your money Do not fall for it because you will regret it. Check out other sites and you will read the reviews on how many customers money they have taken. I am close to becoming homeless because I cannot pay my rent or food and there is no understanding Reviewed on: 3rd July 2019

I am making sure to write this review on all social platforms. No one deserves the stress. Reviewed on: 3rd July 2019

Account closured without any warining

1
I am having an issue with Monese Bank account. They've blocked my account and card last Friday (27/06/19) with a non reasonable explanation. I was just informed by email that the account is being closed. After several phone calls to their support line I couldn't get any more information. I have in that account +-£2680 which they said I have to provide them with another account details that I own so they will transfer my funds but I didn't get yet any confirmation of this. Also, I was travelling on holidays and this situation caused me several issues (I had to transfer money from another accounts to have money available for me, I had to transfer money from my savings, my Standing Order to pay my letting agreement was not proceed, one direct debit was not possible to pay. I am now struggling to know when will my funds be returned to me. Reviewed on: 1st July 2019

Fantastic app - Get £15 free with promo code VINCE428

Been with Monese for a few months now, and the registration was quick without any problems, the app is easy to navigate through, and it shows all the transactions on your account. I was able to transfer money to my account within 2 hours ! It’s a fast and free online account available to anyone wanting online banking, instant and portable, no proof of address required. Receive and make payments, set up Direct Debits and shop online. It's a fantastic app and would recommend to anyone. Plus if you my promo code VINCE428 you will get £15 absolutely free when you complete your first card transaction. Limited time offer ! Reviewed on: 17th May 2019
