Simple, Transparent, Efficient

5
Immediate alerts when money is spent, categorised spending and simple access to 3rd-party savings accounts (so pretty good rates thanks to making them compete). Lightyears ahead of the old banks. Reviewed on: 18th January 2020

More Tech than Bank

3
Although I have no problem with Monzo, and I wish them every success, I feel they focus more on the tech and community aspects of their business than they do on being a bank. This would not be right for everyone, hence the lower recommendation score, but I still wish them every success Reviewed on: 18th January 2020

Poor product

1
They keep chaning their policies and taking away things that made them good at the beginning. They are also trying their had to push a horrible Plus version of their current account and they are planning to take away essential features like customer service. Be wary if you have cash as you will be charged an extra £1 for deposit. Stay away from Monzo and use any other bank, even old fashioned banks are better. Reviewed on: 18th January 2020

The best bank

4
By far. Still not perfect. But there is no better Reviewed on: 18th January 2020

Revolutionised budgeting for me

5
Using Monzo has fundamentally changed how I interact with money. I am so much more in control of my spending and haven’t used my overdraft at all since making the switch. The instant transaction notifications have also saved me from potential fraud this week and after I froze my card and reported it I got a new card the very next day. Absolute hero’s. Reviewed on: 18th January 2020

A company redefining banking.

5
Great in every aspect, this is what a bank should be. They are lightyears ahead of everyone else. Reviewed on: 18th January 2020

Bank as always imagined

5
The future of banking, no other traditional bank can compete with Monzo. Reviewed on: 17th January 2020

Changed the way I bank

5
I always was and still am frustrated at the pace at which legacy banks crawl forward. Whilst Monzo's pace has slowed as they've become more established, they're still head and shoulders above the competition and their transparency of their plans and active developments is great. The only uses for my legacy bank now is for their credit card offering and to issue cheques when the rare occasion arises. Reviewed on: 17th January 2020

Excellent service and product

5
Super useful, cares about customers Reviewed on: 17th January 2020
