Thieves Stay away

1
They will open account and then wait for you to put money in it and then block it.. Hundreds of people and their lives have been destroyed by them..Stay away or you will learn the hard way. Apparently I have found they have full dedicated team posting positive reviews to misguide people...STAY AWAY Reviewed on: 10th August 2018

Reply from Monese Hi there - sorry to hear you had trouble with your account. We only close these in the most extreme of circumstances, and you should have received an email from our team explaining why this happened (but let us know if not). Moreover, we can categorically say that all of our positive reviews come from very satisfied customers, feel free to explore their stories across a variety of sites and platforms. Thanks!

STAY AWAY

Had funds transfer from mum to maintaining family property. Moment money got into my...MONESE blocked the account. More than 7 days they have failed to get back to me. I have tried my best, called the customer services for the funds to be returned back to the sender. Nothing has been achieved till today. If you going Customer’s account, you might as well return Back the funds to the sender if you do suspect fraudulent activity. Reviewed on: 9th August 2018

Reply from Monese Hi there Oscar - accounts can be locked for a variety of reasons, and often temporarily as a precaution, while our team runs additional verifications. You should have received a note from our team explaining this, but if you haven't then give us a call to let us know - thanks! Response date: 5th September 2018

Stay Away!

Total and Utter Scammers and I can't understand how this is even allowed after reading other peoples reviews. I have had my account blocked for receiving a £1000 and not having access to the funds before the £1000 pounds payment came in. I now feel like they are now trying to brush me off after calling to complain. Reviewed on: 9th August 2018

Easy and quick

Only downside I have found is that it costs £5 to get a debit card. But if you use the promo code YRQTF2PP when signing up, you get £5 into your account when you first deposit £10 to it. But Monese does not require proof of address like all other uk banks, so opening up a bank account with Monese have been incredibly easy. Also, transferring money from my other non-UK bank account via the instant visa top up has been really quick and has saved me quite a lot of money in transaction fees. Reviewed on: 23rd July 2018

they have destroyed my and my family's future. THIEVES GIVE ME MY MONEY

I opened the account 6 months ago also reading on another review site (I do not name but understand what it is) all good reviews. SCAM ALL SCAM !! in my opinion they are fake. read this fake review and I trust .. until I had on the 500 euro bill all right as soon as I received an amount of 10,000 euros they freeze account. they ask for documents I give them. they ask for other documents I provide them. in short, all that they ask! then they disappear. I write emails monese nothing answer they disappear. I feel bad .. I'm physically sick. I do not know how to tell my wife that I got 10,000 euros cheated. I feel sick . then after 10 days they write to me that they want to close the account . I write email okay give me my money back. all money that I have! these scammers tell me that I have to wait at least 40 days before I can get my money back. I tremble. I despair, I do not know how to tell everything to my wife. these damn thieves do not want to give me back the money I start thinking. I start research online and I find review of monese and I get an accident .. many many cases maybe hundreds of cases like me. all robbed by MONESE .. almost faint, I get stomach cramps and I wonder me how can you allow FCA all this ? how did these thieves get FCA clearance? why does not FCA intervene? Is FCA useful? I'm sick very bad. DO NOT GIVE A PENNY TO THIEVES MONESE WHO DO NOT WANT TO DO MY END WITHOUT MONEY FOR ME AND MY FAMILY a desperate .... Reviewed on: 18th July 2018
