Monzo on Top!

5
Monzo are at the top of the leaderboard for an online bank. I have used a few of their competitors but have always found a better experience using Monzo. I love their pots and how I can save my extra change from purchases by rounding it up to the pound. Having the Monzo Flex feature is great as well! Reviewed on: 21st January 2024

A Frustrating Experience with Monzo: Account Frozen

1
I’ve been a Monzo user for several years, appreciating its convenience and modern approach to banking. However, my recent experience has drastically changed my opinion. The issue began when I ventured into cryptocurrency. Shortly after my purchase, Monzo froze my account for 48 hours, trapping a significant amount of £37,000 without any clear explanation. Monzo’s support system has been disappointing. They keep mentioning that a “specialist team” is looking into my case, but there’s no direct line of communication with this team, leaving me in the dark. The lack of a physical branch exacerbates the problem, as I have no option to address this face-to-face. Their response times have been extremely slow, and they haven’t provided an estimated time for resolving the issue. Despite my efforts to cooperate and provide all necessary documentation to prove the legitimacy of my exchange, the responses from their support team have been generic and unhelpful. This situation has been a wake-up call. Monzo’s actions suggest that they might restrict customer access to funds based on their own discretion, particularly concerning activities they deem unusual, like cryptocurrency transactions. It feels like I don’t have full control over my own money, a fundamental expectation from any banking service. Given this experience, I advise caution to anyone using Monzo, especially those considering engaging in activities like cryptocurrency trading. It’s unsettling to realize that your access to your own funds can be so easily and opaquely restricted. I urge everyone to consider this risk and possibly look for more reliable banking alternatives that respect and ensure easy access to your funds. Reviewed on: 21st January 2024

Ever since using the bank I’ve had my finances under way more control . Having everything right there in front of you makes things simple. The bank has a very modern feel to it too unlike the antiquated dinosaurs like Lloyd’s Reviewed on: 21st January 2024
