Download bank statement - location on android

I need to get the bank stement from my phone to PC. when i downloade the bank statement, it shows me it. but i have no idea where the file is stored and cant find it. You should put a share option on the bottom so it can be sent by email. Anyone know where the downloaded pdf is stored ?

If you search Files on your device then tap downloads, it may be there.

I tried that using a file manager. It shouldnā€™t be this hard to get a statement off a phone.

Itā€™s not that hard, itā€™s literally in your downloads folder.

Also bear in mind, I get these options when downloading

When you view the PDF you can save it to your dropbox or whatever from there too.

I dont get those options, which is what I was looking for. I get the open to open as pdf and then it opens. thats it.

You need to select what you want the file as, after that it asks you where to put it. If your phoneā€™s not doing this, that suggests itā€™s an issue at your end

It doesnt. It just opnes the PDF.

Youā€™ll need to look at your phone settings then, try to track down why itā€™s not offering those options. Maybe uninstall Monzo and install again, just to rule that out.

When the PDF opens thereā€™ll be a share option there :slightly_smiling_face: select your email program

There isnt.

This happens when youve already been give the option in the past, and you selected Always to use the same method, which just opens it.

When the document is open, top right, tap the menu button and there should be a save/open/share button to allow you to send where you need it or save where you need it.

You can also reset the default monzo settings by removing and installing again. This is user issue though not the app having issues.

Iā€™d forgotten about that :rofl: itā€™s why I never choose the always option, one day I might want to select a different option but then forget how to reset it

No probs.

Well, whatever the problem is, Monzo customer service is clueless and useless on the subject. I have apparently generated a statement three times since yesterday and I canā€™t find any of them. Nothing actually opens in the app, and there was no dialogue to save or anything of that sort. I tried the chat for advice, (glacial, insulting) to be repeatedly told how to generate statements, despite me repeatedly telling them I know how to do it, I just kind find the results. After a half hour of Kafkaesque frustration, I asked for a telephone number. They picked up the phone quickly enough. I explained the situation civilly, but couldnā€™t keep the asperity from my voice. They hung up on me without warning or explanation.

Tomorrow the search for an alternative bank begins. I thought I might start with First Direct since Iā€™ve heard good things about their customer service, but then Monzo used to be good.

I am quietly incandescent with rage. This was the worst customer experience I have ever experienced, and Iā€™ve had to change flights on Ryanair!

I guess app-based banking isnā€™t for everyone.

Generating and downloading a statement is fairly simple.

Curious though, why did you have to change a flight?

Oh, Iā€™m fine with apps that work. In the last 5 minutes I successfully downloaded statements from my other three banks. I have been failing to achieve this with Monzo since yesterday. I donā€™t think Iā€™m the problem. From your swift dismissal of my capabilities, may I infer that you work in tech?

Try this:

  • Uninstall the Monzo app
  • Restart your device (important)
  • Download, install & login to the Monzo app

Try & download a statement and BE CAREFUL what you do if given a choice what to do with it - I always select ā€˜Just onceā€™ (rather than ā€˜Alwaysā€™) with the action to be taken.

Thanks. Iā€™ll try it now. :crossed_fingers:
