Review of the Monzo, Flex Purchase credit card:

A Refreshing Take on Banking

5
I’ve been using Monzo for about four months now, and honestly, I don’t think I could go back to a traditional bank. Before Monzo, I was with a high street bank that felt outdated—slow transactions, clunky app, and hidden fees. Switching to Monzo has been a breath of fresh air. Features & Benefits: Instant Spending Notifications – One of the first things I noticed (and loved) was the instant transaction alerts. The first time I used Monzo, I tapped my card at a shop, and my phone buzzed with the amount before I even put my card back in my wallet. It’s such a small thing, but it makes spending feel way more transparent. Budgeting & Savings Tools – I used to check my bank balance at the end of the month and wonder where did all my money go? But with Monzo’s budgeting feature, I can see exactly what I’ve spent on groceries, eating out, and subscriptions. I even set up a savings “Pot” for an upcoming trip, and rounding up spare change into it has added up surprisingly fast! Fee-Free Spending Abroad – I recently used Monzo while on a short trip, and it was a game-changer. No extra charges, no worrying about exchange rates—just tap and go. A friend got charged a sneaky 3% fee with their bank, but I paid exactly what I saw on the screen. Easy Money Transfers – Splitting bills with friends is effortless. Instead of dealing with long account numbers, I just send money instantly via Monzo, and they get a notification right away. Great Customer Support – I had a minor issue when a subscription took money out earlier than expected. I messaged Monzo through the in-app chat and got a helpful response within minutes. No call queues, no waiting on hold—just quick and friendly support. Drawbacks: Cash Deposits – I don’t use cash much, but when I tried to deposit some birthday money, I had to go to a PayPoint, and they charged me £1 for it. Not a huge deal, but something to keep in mind if you deal with cash often. No Physical Branches – Everything is digital, which is perfect for me, but if you like visiting a bank in person, Monzo might not be the best fit. Interest on Savings Could Be Better – While I love the savings tools, the interest rates aren’t the highest unless you open a savings account with Monzo’s partner banks. Final Verdict: After four months with Monzo, I can say it’s made banking way more intuitive and hassle-free. The app is sleek, transactions are instant, and the budgeting tools have genuinely helped me manage my money better. It’s perfect if you’re comfortable with digital banking and want more control over your finances. That said, if you handle a lot of cash or prefer traditional banking, it might not be the best option. But for me, Monzo has been an absolute win! Reviewed on: 3rd April 2025

Uni Life with Monzo

5
I have been using monzo since I was around 16. it allowed me to independently manage my own money, create savings and spend money easier abroad. in recent years i have been using the flex card. this feature has saved my life so many times. as a uni student, it can be hard to find a credit card or someone that trusts you to pay it back. using flex has allowed me to make my priority payments, and then anything else I can pay back in instalments which creates more flexibility with my income.

Great product overall

5
Great product overall with fantastic user interface, branding and credit limits. Cashback offerings are decent but could be better and should be applied without needing to opt in. Had to dispute one charge which took a long time to be progressed by their automated process but once they manually reviewed the dispute, they progressed the matter quickly.
