Great idea, but occasional reliability issues prevent full-on usage

4
App works well and got great usability. Launched Currents Account recently sparking further features. Very helpful customer service. So why 4 stars? The overall offering is still not as competitive as others (such as having multi-currency accounts) or offering interest on balance. Most importantly, they got repeat issues with cards not working. TL;DR: they're definitely spearheading the fintech revolution in the country and got a great package, but got some homework to do to ensure folks are not just using them as a "side-account" but making the full-on switch.

Fixing my financial life

5
The app is so well built (if still a little light on features - this changes on a weekly basis mind you) and really has made me realise how much unnecessary spending I was doing. So easy to budget and track my spending, send and receive money, and the look of the card is to die for! Reviewed on: 27th January 2018

Simply the best

5
Fantastic customer support, instant notifications. Reviewed on: 24th January 2018

Best bank I've ever used

5
Monzo has given me the experience I've always wanted banking to be. The customer service is top notch, and they have a friendly, active, open community. They clearly believe in doing things right for LGBT+ people (no gendering, no gendered titles, preferred name on card), and for everyone else too. They're open and honest when things go wrong, the card looks great, and the app is fast and works well. It's secure, but without layers of useless security theatre that just render many major banking apps unusable. A* and I'm excited for the future as a Monzo customer! Reviewed on: 23rd January 2018

The Future!

Simply the best banking app that I’ve ever used, clearly only getting better. Reviewed on: 21st January 2018

Great Bank not traditional

5
Instant notifications and easy to understand spending habits make these better than traditional. Reviewed on: 21st January 2018

Convenient banking!

5
Very easy to see recent transactions and so many things that I can do on the app that other traditional banks don't offer. Reviewed on: 20th January 2018

Awesome

Awesome innovative features and lovely UK-based customer service. Highly recommend! Reviewed on: 20th January 2018

MONZO FOR THE WIN

5
Having used both Monzo and Starling for me Monzo prevails in almost everyway. Starling is 2 years old than Monzo and already Monzo is being compared with Starling . The pace in which Monzo is developing is fast and impressive! Monzo is very transparent about what they'd like to achieve and when and encourage community members to join in on the debate . I don't get a community feel from starling or any other legacy bank I've had! All I can say is 2018 watch Monzo develops and be apart of the growth ! Reviewed on: 20th January 2018

There is always Pepsi but Coke is better

Johnny come lately riding on the coat tails of fee free overseas cash. The current account is far from developed and hasn't really moved on from the pre paid card. Reviewed on: 20th January 2018
