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.

Monzo has been my bank provider since the day I moved to the UK to work. My collegues needed me to set up an account fast and for a foreigner who is just starting to adjust to a new country this sometimes can be tricky. Compared with the other banks Monzo was the easiest and fastest to sign up to, and 5 years after i don't regret that choice. I've seen many useful changes being implementent over the years which have made the usability better. I'm always in control of my finances which gives me a great peace of mind. I'm using Monzo for my personal account and I also set up a joint account which works very well (it took sometime to be approved though and until them we were using the shared tabs function which is not too bad). The only thing i've not been using is the Flex credit card because I feel it doesn't actually provide the benefits of an actual credit card. Reviewed on: 26th April 2024

Great digital banking

I have been with Monzo for about 4 or 5 years. Customer service was good when I needed to contact them, polite and helpful. Their app is very easy to use, they are always imroving it and ask for recommendatins from customers on how to improve. Credit card called Flex with the option of 3 months interest free or spread payments over 12 months. Interest rates are very fair. Have recommended this bank in the past and would do so again.

a next-level bank...

Monzo is a next-level bank, easy to navigate and their customer service is excellent. The key features easily accessible, and in addition to often being the first to introduce new features and services, they actively engage their customer based. I've been with them for more than 4 problem-free years. Reviewed on: 21st April 2024
