Amazing, flexible, puts you in control.

After spending decades with regular hight street banks switching to Monzo was like waking up on another planet. Everything is so much more flexible, amazing organizational capabilities, very good UI, customer chat that waits for you so you can swap messages with the advisor when you have time, just the whole package is amazing. Thank you Monzo, my whole family is with you including my 12 year old and we love it. Thank you for creating such an amazing platform. Reviewed on: 9th February 2025

Love Monzo recommend it to everyone particularly for saving and using abroad. The kids Monzo I brilliant I can keep track of everything but they have freedom and sense of responsibility to manage their own money. The only negative I have found is that because they don’t have sort code /account number family members can’t send money to their account they have to send to me to transfer over. I would like the option for other to send money direct to the kids. Reviewed on: 9th February 2025

Best online bank

5
Monzo is the best bank I have banked with so far. The fact it is an online banking system makes keeping track of our money and accessing our accounts extremely easy. With setting up my son's under 16s account I can easily keep track of his account under my own along with easy transfer of money and tracking his spending. The under 16s account was super easy to set up, I am very pleased with it. Would highly recommend. Reviewed on: 9th February 2025
