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 Before Monzo, I was with a high street bank that felt outdated—slow transactions, clunky app, and hidden fees.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

Best credit card provider MONZO

5
As a new migrant in the UK no financial service provider gave me a chance when I was searching for a credit card, but Monzo did, they didn’t stop there, I can use my credit card and repay it over 3 months INTEREST FREE that’s the climax for me. I am so much impressed with that, I have used my credit card for over a year but have never paid a penny in interest because I clear my balance in 3 months. Very helpful and handy in time of crunching financial needs. Reviewed on: 18th April 2025
