Hi,
I first had this problem a couple of months back and still haven’t solved it
I am using Outlook and am requesting a magic link to log on to Monzo. Unfortunately nothing is being received, not even to junk. The Monzo domains are all on my safe senders list also.
Please help!
I am using the latest android version on a Pixel 3
Yeahh. I’ve been emailing somebody from Monzo. Also, when logging into the app it asks for my email address and in return sends me an email with a magic link. I’m just not receiving that link!
Hi was this ever sorted out?
I am having the same issue I have an outlook account and I have not received the email.
spent 5 days emailing and tweeting and they haven’t help me at all
I have just had a similar experience , my feed said poor connection so I logged out , and waited for the ‘magic link’ - Monzo said link sent open email - opened my email on my phone - no email , checked junk , no email on my phone (iPhone 6 ) waited for a couple of minutes , nothing - logged in to my email on my computer MacBook air and the email was sat in my junk folder , moved it on my computer to my inbox and it imeadiately appeared on my phone in the email inbox …weird …tapped the link , straight in to the account
Its a work account im try to set it up with though when it didn’t work I also tried with my personal gmail and had no email there either checked junk folders too
They have just got back to me, said they have changed something and to try again I tried with my work email account again but it didn’t work so tried with my gmail account again and this time it worked
Thanks for the update - good to know you have access!
Personally, I’d be more comfortable with a personal email used by Monzo (which is in my total control) - for future issues where you need to login again.
from memory there was a message previously on the forum where somebody had used a work email and then left the employer and couldn’t get access to their account without a lot of hassle / change
Hi All - Some info on this. I have done some digging on the Microsoft side and have a current case open. Some e-mails to an Outlook (my domain is @hotmail.com) account that mentions Finance, or Banking, or Mortgage in the subject header are automatically ignored by Microsoft. They do not even make it to the account in question that will have a ‘Safe Senders’ list with monzobank.com approved on there.
This is an ongoing challenge with older Hotmail-based domain names, and Microsoft are struggling to make it work. Interestingly - it works with my work e-mail address that is Office 365. I would highly recommend that Magic Link e-mails be sent to an e-mail address that is NOT a Hotmail domain but to any others where you have complete control of the mailbox.
Monzo employees - this may be something you can take up with Microsoft directly, because I have had my first house purchase massively impacted by not being able to receive e-mails from Monzo, my Lawyer or my Estate Agent.
