I’m curious, how and when did you first hear about us?
Was it spotting a hot coral card at a busy bar and wondering "what’s that all about?"
Was it in an article about the new wave of legacy banks?
Or was it recommended by a friend?
Personally, a lot of people I followed on Twitter were chatting about it quite regularly - back when there was a big waiting list and golden tickets were hard to come by. I signed up pretty quickly… and the rest is history!
But what’s your story?
I think I read about it on some tech site back in late 2016 - possibly on Hacker News.
My flatmate at university showed me the hot coral card and he was generous enough to give me his golden ticket
I was looking for a travel card to take on holiday. Found Monzo on the MSE Site and originally thought it was purely a travel card. But realised shortly after using it the product was a lot more than that and a travel card wasn’t it’s primary purpose. Loved the product so now I’m full monzo.
Since that I’ve passed on the recommendation and got at least 5+ people sign up
Early 2016 I think through a Facebook video? Signed up to the beta in March 2016 (#2345) and have been using it for 90% of my transactions ever since! 
One of the guys in the office is an investor, championed it during the prepay so there are loads of us in the office with it…
I kinda noticed ‘Mondo’ before the first investment round when recruiters kept bothering me about applying for a job at CrowdCube.
Some guy from uni gave us a couple golden tickets in the WhatsApp group chat.
Gave it’s Beta prepaid a go and ran it up to -£7 thought nothing more of it.
Came back and now I’m going #FullMonzo and behaving myself! 
Evening Standard article about Money Management apps/start ups around August/September 2016. From memory it also featured Plum and Chip
I was using another internet based banking app and my initial satisfaction gave way to frustration. As my landlord had emailed new payment details I’d thought I’d look at Monzo. Soon I was transfixed by a card running to me shouting ‘On my way!’ Now I’m lost in a coral oasis.
I can’t remember which article, but it was in 2016 and I think it was about Atom or Starling and it mentioned Mondo near the end with a ‘there is also the fintech bank Mondo’ line etc.
Because at the time Starling hadn’t launched and Atom is, well, Atom. I signed up to Mondo’s waiting list. After hesitating transferring over the £100 at first, I can’t say I have really ever looked back.
2016, at a Go London User Group meetup, where @matt gave a talk on building a bank with Go (and I thought they were crazy).
I was randomly searching stuff and found this article by @simon
Which encouraged me to sign up for the beta… Then with the help of a friend and some guidance from Simon I made my own…
Would be great to have another hackathon 
I remember I was having a little money of a crisis managing my money and I was just snooping around for options and came across Loot and Monzo from MSE or Techcrunh? And I remember signing up in December 2016 and checking on it every day until April 2017 when I finally got my card 
Wish I heard about the golden tickets beforehand!
Then from Monzo I got into other Fintechs like Starling and Revolut etc and really boosted my interest in the Fintech industry as I loved the combination and the possibilities it could bring
