Helllllo fellow Monzo members 
In the same vein as How did you first hear about Monzo?, how did you find the Monzo community?
Curiosity?
Feedback?
Support query?
Did you join the community before or after you signed up to an account?
Anything related to joining, let me know your Monzo community story :mondo:
I found out about the forum back in spring last year when I thought Monzo was a travel card (thanks MSE) 
I was looking to see what peopleās thoughts on Monzo were and figure out if there were any catches.
At first I only read some posts and threads but soon got involved. I should go back and see what my first post was!
I quickly discovered Monzoās goal was to become a full UK current account and my usage of the card pretty much went through the roof after that 
:mondo:
I was just thinking the same, because I canāt remember how I found the community!
Is there an easy way to do this (easier than scrolling through pages of posts under āmy accountā)?
I think I just stumbled across it 
before I joined monzo I took a read around the forums but a week or two after getting my card I signed up for the forum 
It was mostly out of curiosity and the community was really small and friendly 
It was really awesome, great getting to know everybody! I canāt remember what the āCoal Crewā was called at the timeā¦ Mustāve just been leaders
I think it took me the longest time to find the slack channel 
it felt like a secret at the time
Anyway, really awesome community and Iām glad I signed up 
Yep, go to your account activity and click ādownload allā it will provide you with a .csv file with all your posts in 
BACK IN MY DAY, you got invited to the community when you travelled to the office to pick up your prepaid card. 
Not sure how the iPad will handle that - But Iāll give it a go! 
Looking for a golden ticket. I didnāt want to pay for one on eBay
Techcrunch article led me here.
A definite stumble here. Was looking for hidden features and tips.
I joined the community when I first signed up to the beta waiting list (~March 2016, I think). I wanted to read as much as I could about Monzo whilst waiting and found myself here!
I think I joined community to get the card with prepaid card as it was by getting a golden ticket quick in July lat year as I was of to Spain and used it.
I found it when it was referenced in an email from Monzo telling me that the community had voted on foreign ATM fees.
I found it through Starling and only joined Monzo forum just before Starlings forum went down. I had the Monzo account before joining the forum though.
I used Starling a lot more than Monzo but switched this year to use the budgeting which Starling had been promising since forever (and still doesnāt have).
Monzo is now monthly spend and coin jar pot.
Starling is now used Goals to have a mental distinction so Iām not tempted to dip into a saving by seeing them.
Legacy atm is NatWest for Salary/Debits collecting the Ā£125 switch in Feb but Iām not sure I can last that long. Once you experience Monzo itās so painful trying to just use their banking system, worse than HSBC.
No idea how or why I joined Starling. I must have read it online somewhere.
Got invited by Tristan. He hasnāt spoken to me since.
Told by Hugh after people were discussing Merchant Reviews.
I started lurking on the forum just after Monzo announced itās first crowdfunding round. I wanted to do as much due diligence as possible before investing and there really wasnāt a lot of info about Monzo outside the community forum back then. I think I joined a couple of months after.
Joined 23 March 2016, same day as my initial top up. Had to go to London to get my card. Used my card on a pizza the next day and havenāt looked back since.
