Some amazing numbers there!

I have one question though. It says people spent £5.67m on McDonalds, then says people spent a total of £6.7m on takeaway. Is McDonalds not counted as takeaway? Or do Monzo users really get 85% of their takeaway from McDonalds?

I mean, I probably get 85% of my takeaway from McDonalds, but people tend to mock me for it, so I assumed I was unusual :wink:

I’m amazed by those travel numbers. I’d never have guessed they’d be so huge.

If you eat in, McDonald’s might be classed as a restaurant? :thinking::thinking:

Great to see these numbers as always - over 350% user growth! - the ‘big’ question’s still unanswered though - how many users are getting their salary paid into the current accounts now?

They’ve got deliveroo as eating out as well, surely that would count as takeaway.

I am assuming those travel numbers could be from online purchases? Whereby I buy from the US but never leave my home…

Or salary-like things, such as student finance payments…

Pretty sure McDonald’s is classed as a restaurant, seeing as they’re called ‘McDonald’s Restaurant’ :slight_smile:

Are these extrapolated figures correct:

~485k users
‪‪Payment volume: ~£965MM
Usage abroad as % of total volume: ~33%
‪Average annual spend per user: ~£1990‬ (down from £5280 in 2016)

I’ll give them a ring and book a table :grinning:

As soon as they bring in the switching service I will be across, until then I am paying about 50% of my salary by standing order.

The site doesn’t work at the moment. It gives a cloudflare 502 error connecting to monzo.com.

Working fine for me.

This is one of the reasons I hate CloudFlare…
