Review of the Monzo, Current Account:

AVOID THIS BANK! CROOKS AND. CRIMINALS

1
Monzo Bank froze my account and made the decision to close it, withholding all of my funds and leaving me and my two young children—a six-month-old baby and a toddler—without any way to buy food, pay for heating, or keep our electricity on. I provided Monzo with every piece of documentation they requested, including proof of an incoming transaction from a well-established UK business and all related invoices, yet they have ignored everything. Instead, they’ve kept our money and left us in the dark without a word of explanation. I am horrified by how Monzo has treated us. After repeatedly explaining to them how serious our situation is and showing them proof that we have access to no other means or funds from elsewhere they took the unimaginable step of blocking my phone number entirely from being able to call them and cutting off any way for me to reach them via a call. No calls or messages ever became heated or escalated, I simply begged for help to get my children and me through this crisis. For Monzo to prevent me from even contacting them is heartless and cruel. No bank or financial institution blocks your phone number to ensure it’s harder and difficult for you to obtain your funds and should never treat a customer this way even if they have decided to terminate banking relationship our crime is that a uk business paid us and we provided everything they asked for immediately. This is not how a regulated financial institution should behave—it’s what you would expect from criminals who take your money and disappear, with no thought or care for the people they harm. I am at my breaking point. We are suffering without access to our own funds, and the stress is unbearable. Monzo has shown complete disregard for our well-being even tho stated plenty of times and begged for release of our funds and made them aware on numerous occasions about the young children,Their actions are unethical, unprofessional, and shockingly inhumane.

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.

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
