My Bank in my hand

5
Everything just works so seamlessly on my phone - from opening an account, to downloading my card into ApplePay, to making payments and tracking my spending. I can do everything at the click of a button, and it's secure with TouchID, and never have to sign a piece of paper or phone my bank again! Reviewed on: 5th December 2018

The only current account I use!

5
After switching many moons ago now, I have little regret. Monzo are centring there beliefs, and developments around the customer. Such a useful current account that is simply getting better with time. Reviewed on: 4th December 2018

Great app, good international options, shame about the interest rate

4
I don't use Monzo as my primary current account, because my accounts with other banks give in-credit interest at a significantly higher rate than Monzo's savings pots, and without the need to wait 24 hours when withdrawing money from them. However, the app is first-class, giving far better performance than I've experienced with other banks, and getting the MasterCard base rate for currency conversions is very nice, as is being able to take out (some) cash abroad without being charged a fee. Reviewed on: 3rd December 2018

great modern account

4
It's a lot better than traditional banks in that I can see what i'v spent immediately (not the next working day - nothing is ever 'pending') and all of my spending is categorised so I can easily see what i'm spending my money on and how to budget. It also lets you save with 'pots' which are little savings accounts and I enjoy using the feature that lets me round up purchases to the nearest pound and the pennies go into the savings pot. They also offer a 1% interest pot if you deposit £1000+. The only reason I give it 4/5 is that they do not offer any interest or offers on daily use. Barclays for example have blue rewards that gives you £7 a month for a £3 fee if you have 2 direct-debits. Reviewed on: 3rd December 2018

Love Monzo!

5
Before using Monzo I'd never really considered that my previous banking app was lacking - I was so wrong. I love the instantaneous balance updates, the money pots are great, as are the spending projections and the travel money feature. Reviewed on: 30th November 2018

A current which is moving with the times!

4
Since the launch of the current account, Monzo has been developing and implementing create features such as savings pots that roundup spending when using the Monzo card etc. The bank is also transparent about pricing as well as keeping customers up to date on what features it is developing for the near future. Customer service has been great, albeit they do take slightly longer to respond but I assume that is largely down to taking on a large number of new customers in a short space of time.
