Review of the Monzo, Current Account:

Once a pioneer, now in with the crowd... still good

4
I moved my 'spending' money into Monzo from my main NatWest account as it had loads more functionality. Market leader in sending payments, splitting bills, paying abroad etc. unfortunately not much newness has happened (relevant to me) and all the other banks have caught up and copied Monzo. So great, but no longer a pioneer in my eyes and part of the crowd now. Reviewed on: 15th March 2024

I was looking to open up a separate bank account from my main bank, and came across Monzo. I am very happy I did as it provides me with all of my banking needs, and has benefits such as cash back with certain retailers. It was quick and easy to set up a bank account online, within 15 minutes it was completed. Reviewed on: 16th June 2024

Not Crypto friendly in the slightest.

Not Crypto friendly in the slightest. I would give zero as a rating if that was an option. Deposited a small sum in a new monzo account and as soon as I tried to send it to a cryto exchange, the company have frozen my account whilst 'specialists' look at it and have requested various info. If I'd tried to put it onto a gambling site, they would have allowed me. No interest in their customers wellbeing, just want to stop UK customers moving to crypto assets as it impacts their bottom line. Terrible customer service on chat, waiting for hours a a time for a response. Avoid at all costs. Reviewed on: 9th June 2024

Love this app.

5
Love this app. Really helped me get on top of my money and budgeting. Forever in the black due to the simplicity of use. Ability to set money aside in pots and to squirrel the odd pennies into a savings pot is brilliant. Gives perfect resonance to the saying about pennies adding into a pound.

I've been using Monzo for years and I can't even imagine using a different bank as my main account. The experience has been great, and I've been using premium (now Max) which gives me so many extra benefits (e.g. I travel a lot and I needed a travel insurance, but decided to pay for Monzo instead of a separate company I'd need to deal with).

They don't really support you if you've been the victim of a scam. Plus the customer service takes ages to get back to you. It's almost as if there is no real human behind the customer service wall. This makes me weary of them. It's a shame because all of the other perks and features are quite nice. Reviewed on: 5th June 2024

Best bank i have ever been with!

They offer various perks, a free 1 year railcard and weekly greggs. Like how could i ask for more? The service is reliable and i love the system where you use pots to save money in! Overall Monzo is now the main bank I use. You can even ask for your pay a day early! Reviewed on: 2nd June 2024
