Account Blocked longer than app stated

I verified my account. The message said that it would take a minute or two. It’s been several minutes and my account still remains blocked. What can I do to unblock my account?

Wait or ask support. Those are your two options.

Hi Matt,

Is this relating to a newly created account, or a check that’s been prompted to be completed for an account you’ve held a while?

Once someone has had chance to review the information provided you’ll be updated.

If it’s been over a week and you’ve no access to the chat function, drop an email from your registered address to help@monzo.com explaining so someone can take a look.

I know this was one year ago but sometimes this can take some time.

For me personally it did not take too long, it was a shock though when I verified my card PIN when switching to Android however and then the account being blocked.

I’m sure it’s not taken a year.

One time I was locked out for about 3 hours for them to verify my ID after I set up the app on a new phone, and then it was all fine. Usually it’s only been seconds.

My guess is sometimes the AI system needs a human to review the video to make sure it’s okay!
