It is a beta and it is prepaid. If you wait for the current account that will have a debit card rather than prepaid.

The resolution will come with the current accounts where Monzo will no longer be considered like a prepaid card. In the meantime I donât think anything will be done - even if they tried by the time they fix this the current accounts would be out so it wouldâve been quite pointless.
Oh Uber works again with my card

Got declined while trying to buy MetroCard in NYC, probably because you need to type postcode, but my UK postcode isnât numeric, obviously!
Itâs been few days and despite transactions were declined the money was still taken, transactions marked as pending and no refund. Anybody knows how long it might take?
money wasnât taken, it was âring fencedâ⌠It should drop off after 5 days or so - or contact support if it hasnât

There was similar post not so long ago, Sarah explained that her colleague got it to work by using 00000 as zip code:
Okay thanks, I will try to use the 00000 trick next time!

Should be 6â7 days exactly but weâll reverse it if you let support know!
The magic zip code appears to be either 00000 or 99999.

A post was merged into an existing topic: Unable to Make Online Payment
Even using a Barclays debit card at the self service fuel pumps they authorise ÂŁ1 them appear to request the fuel amount a day or two later, Im guessing they donât accept prepaid cards for some techie type issue around authorisation.
Given that they never authorise the full amount, it could be that theyâre afraid the card has no money in it and that prepaid card issues are more likely to tell them to Fâ off where as standard debit card providers may let the account go overdrawn to process their transaction.
Hello, the card doesnât appear to work with the new contactless payment devices on the ticket machines in London Waterloo (says declined + doesnât appear on the app at all). Iâve tried a few machines and the contactless works elsewhere.
Which generation card do you have, as they have different chips
Does it explicitly say declined, or do you get an âunspecified system errorâ. If the card machine explicitly declines your card, that means either the machine couldnât get online (although 2nd gen cards should work better offline) or Monzo declined the transaction. If the latter, you should get a notification.

Great to hear, they must have whitelisted our card BIN! 
I was in email conversations with them for about a week & did have to send over the first few numbers of the card.
Ended up speaking to the point of sale manager and hey presto it worked.

I got Card not supported at the Sheraton in Stockholm using my 2nd gen CA card. Starling worked ok.
Card (contactless) declined at Tesco @ Piccadilly in London for around 8 quid. Used it about 45 mins prior at M&S Oxford St for about 7 pounds, which was OK.
No description other than âCard declinedâ in the app. Used a debit card and it went through fine. Had sufficient funds on the Monzo card and wasnât frozen.
