Have good amount of money there, but unable to access or transfer my funds.Customer service can't help,keep asking to wait for an email.Every day spending hours trying to contact by twitter,fb,email ..NO RESULT! Facing huge problem..Made a complaint with FCA,report to police,filled in with ombudsman, but due to Corona it may take months.Planning to hire a solicitor .Absolutely Nightmare!!!!

My friends, be careful to register with this bank They are thieves and swindlers, as soon as your balance increases, they close the account for you for no reason under several illogical arguments at first. I was comfortable with them, but I discovered that they are thieves after closing the account, they cannot take your money Reviewed on: 21st October 2020

Reply from Monese Hi Sandro - we're sorry to hear we weren't able to offer you an account at this point. We sometimes might need to close accounts when we believe they don't meet certain requirements, but we never do so without a good reason, you can find more details on monese.com/blog/blocked-account Response date: 22nd October 2020

Stuck abroad due to pandemic - Monese lock my account

1
I am Swedish citizen, born in Sweden, and I have used Monese for almost a year. I have only deposited 1200 euro and mainly used my account for smaller expenses I have in Europe. Account havent been used to anything else. After a 3 month vacation in South Africa I got stuck here due to the coronavirus lockdown. South Africa have now opened its borders, but due to the corona situation I am laying low. A client of mine wanted to assist me with extra funds (privately) and made a transaction to my Monese account - unfortunately using the wrong name. I contacted Monese's support, which probably is the worst in the fintech industry, for assistance. Instead they informed me they will lock my account since they do not offer their services in South Africa. 1. I am a Swedish citizen, living in Sweden. 2. I do not use my account for anything South Africa related since i been stuck here - only European related payments. 3. The. person who tried to send me money is based in Europe. I have tried to explain this to Monese support (which most often is a chatbot called Mo or a young man named Selman sending standard replies without acknowledging what I am telling him - nor does he answer my questions). I recommend you to stay away from them if you are traveling alot. And until they manage to sort out their customer support. Clearly they have now confirmed that they can lock your account if you are traveling outside the EEA. "Please kindly take all your funds before the deadline and your account can be reopened once you returned to EEA." ps. I pay 15 euro to Monese a month for nothing. Reviewed on: 17th October 2020

Impossible to contact no reply to chat, email or phone. This is not a bank more of a fly by night scam by the look of it - AVOID. Reviewed on: 20th August 2020
