Desktop version of the Monzo app (full feature Monzo Web)

I’m a millennial in my 30s and my eyes are getting tired of poking around on a 6” screen these days.

I could :100: do with looking at how big of a financial hole I’ve digged myself in higher definition.

Bring on web banking, Monzo. You’re an established digital bank now, not a start-up anymore.

I’m not sure about that reasoning, I think it’s more that Monzo have decided to focus on being a mobile only bank.

Yeah, if you look at online banking from most providers they won’t check for antivirus etc.

And those that scan your PC or mobile are guilty of overreach…

Maybe 2026 is their year :grimacing:

Yeah I also like Starling’s web app. It lets you do a lot but there are a few restrictions for security which makes sense. It’s a shame Monzo won’t do something similar. Although given Monzo’s recent launches I suspect they’d run it as a lottery with 100 lucky customers allowed to use the web app each day :wink:

This was one of the reasons I recently switched to Starling for my day to day banking (and cancelled a paid monzo plan in the process).

So much easier to download statements & make payments in the browser when I have the details in another tab/file.

It doesn’t help that Monzo’s home screen is increasingly cluttered with things that don’t need to be there.

I can’t get on with the Monzo app because of the clutter, it’s too inundating :weary_face:

I’m just throwing another post here for a chance of winning a beta slot at this point. :rofl:

A functioning internet banking is why although I hated Lloyds’ spying on their staff personal spending to determine lower pay rise, I’m still stuck with them.

I forgot that there was a desktop version of Starling, and that it request the app to log in

Monzo has an emergency web portal, but it’s quite basic and limited.

This is something that has been raised many times but Monzo have chosen to stay largely web based. They may lose customers over this approach but I guess that’s something they’ve accepted.

How much do you have saved that an additional 0.5% would give you an extra £17 a month? :laughing:

Edit: According to ChatGPT you’d need £40,800 or more saved for the extra interest to pay for the Max subscription

No it isn’t. It’s exactly the same as it was. You can’t be a -1 without being a +1 to start with.

If you have that amount in a cash ISA there are loads of places offering higher interest for free

Do you mean ‘app based.’?

Yes, I meant app based, Freudian slip

I agree 100%. I want to have desktop access to my accounts not just twiddling away on my phone.

Then you need a different bank.
