✅ Depositing Cash at the Post Office

Original Starling account holders (including me) could fund their current account using a debit card until about three days ago. Starling has just withdrawn that feature completely.

That’s awful news :frowning: Settleup is crap.

Just do a bank transfer. Same outcome and instant.

There are reasons why people prefer not to do that (but admittedly not super important ones).

If your doing a debit transaction it really makes no difference :man_shrugging:

The paypoint limit should be raised

It can’t, they’re pay points they’re not there to take bank deposits and that was never the intention of the service.

It can be raised.

Monzo claim it’s due to money laundering yet the competition have been doing it for months.

I understand that these are just corner shops, have a daily limit, hell even have a weekly limit but there is no reason why there should be a £1k limit every six months. Monzo are behind the curve and it hits the lower paid the most.

I’ve read this a lot but no-one has ever produced a statistic to prove that lowest paid members of society are paid cash, so…source?

I don’t think there is one. I certainly haven’t found any when I’ve researched the subject at uni.

if it is not possible to pay in elsewhere besides a bank?

Type in the search box on here and you’ll find there is a topic that covers this already. This will answer all your questions and more :slight_smile:

If you want to pay in cash, you do this via Paypoint. Have a search in the help section of your app and all the instructions for that will be there too.

Monzo said if they wore going to allow us to do this it would mean every customer would need a new card and that at this point would be a lot of work for what they have on right now.

I to would like to see this but for now at least it is not possible pay points only.

Hope millions of newly issued cards are capable of this and Monzo will one day surprise with an announcement.

They might do it one day I think paying in at a post office would be better j had time where a paypoint in my area did not know what to do I also had one offer time when it failed so I could not put the money in.

I don’t if it would be more reliable at the post office I mean they still be a a bit of a whait depends on time of day.

Huh? :confused:

Even Yoda wouldn’t understand that text!

Anybody know when monzo are going to be allowing us to pay money into our account through post office?

It’s unlikely to happen this year, I’d guess. Unless it arrives with Monzo Plus, which is still unlikely, to be fair.

I think your question should be ‘if,’ not ‘when.’
