In the replies somebody says they signed up “literally like a month ago”

How does someone do something literally like? :roll_eyes:

Are they scalding people for their spending? Seems a bit extreme and illegal.
Scolding perhaps

I’d agree with this - £5 each wasn’t it?

Facebook just reminded me that I’ve been #FullMonzo for a year today! How it’s changed in a year

I am already #fullmonzo. My wife has just been offered £25 to do the same. We were also considering getting a joint account. Is there a way of getting the £25 if we both pay our salaries into the joint without her making two moves? Also, if you open a joint account, I hear there’s a Add My Bills button. Does that also notify employers like CASS?

My partner (who I got to sign up last week) has signed up and got the referral incentive almost immediately. No fair!

Are you part of the “sign up incentive” trial?

No, sorry! I typed that too quickly. I meant that they have been made part of the trial and so can now invite a friend and get the £5. Just annoying that I wasn’t part of it when I sent my invite.

Could you enlighten the rest of us? Are Monzo now offering a bribe and if so how much and for what?

It’s a small trial I believe.

They are exploring the reaction to offering £5 to the person who invites someone, and £5 to the new account holder, providing they make a card transaction.

There is a whole thread somewhere, but I’m on my phone and can’t find it :joy:

Any more information? How was the offer made? What’s the definition of #fullmonzo here?

It came up in her feed. To get the £25 you’d have to use CASS rather than just bring your salary - i.e. close your old account.

Not a fan of that myself. Seems distinctly non monzo.

Sounds like an incentive not to switch. Since they’ve started the switch bribes/incentive it might be bigger in the future

It says there’s a limited pot - first come, first served.

IRegistered just to say this…

I’ve gone full Monzo today and it feels amazing!

I’m an immigrant and arrived to London two years ago. I needed a bank account so I had to go through a humiliating process of getting an account with a traditional bank. It took me almost 6 months to finally find any bank that would give me a bank account as I was new here, renting a room (with no bills in my name), with no mobile phone contract (because of no UK bank account). All this time I had to pay outrageous fees to my polish bank and get my salary paid to my boyfriends account and use cash (didn’t know anyone here and this forced us to skip few relationship phases as I met him soon after arrival). The process was so horrible that I was almost on the verge of going back to Poland and leaving my job and relationship here - it made me feel less of a person, like I wasn’t really welcome here.
Up to this day I couldn’t get contactless card from Lloyd’s and didn’t use Apple Pay on their card as they require you to call them to confirm it (I find it difficult as it triggers my anxiety). On the top of that their app is not intuitive and everything just feels really old and not suitable for 21st century.
Leaving them feels like lifting a massive weight of my chest, as it was a constant reminder how difficult it was to start my life here.

When my friend arrived here 6 months ago the first thing I did was sending her Monzo gold ticket to save her everything I had to go through.

So… I wanted to say thank you for everyone on Monzo team for making banking with you an easy, pleasant, inclusive experience :heart:
