I only have one person, my cousin who travells abroad a lot for work and finds Monzo the best for spending abroad. ---

Most of my friends have Monzo, a bunch use it as their main account, some only use it as a backup/travel money card. Of my family I know my sister has one - she came to visit last year and was noting everything she spent down in a notebook so she could keep track, so I showed her the app and she signed up as soon as I gave her a golden ticket. I think she uses it as her main account now. Iā€™m going to work on my parents when I get home, they just have a joint account but each withdraw cash as spending money regularly, if they each had a Monzo account and sent money to those theyā€™d have a much better idea of what they had or needed. ---

Even if I remove colleagues from the equation itā€™s still over 40 people, and most of them arenā€™t people who Iā€™ve personally gotten to sign up - theyā€™ve begun to use it on their own.

Almost everyone I know has a Monzo account. Itā€™s used mostly for transfering money to and from each other with ease. Iā€™m the only person I know who uses it as their main bank account. ---

Oh I see. Thatā€™s the misunderstanding then: I never said I closed the account. Itā€™s still open because Iā€™m curious what theyā€™ll come up with going forward šŸ™‚ ---
