How we use Monzo in everyday language 💬 (We want your thoughts)

[AlanDoe (Alan)]

All info is good info so thanks to everyone who has replied so far and thanks in advance to anyone else joining in.

For me - it’s pretty common use in my social circle (I’m aware that working here might sway that) but I do hear it when I’m out and about (Glasgow).

I do have one friend who asks me to “do the weird sorcery thing” when it comes to splitting a bill.

“Split the bill” is quite common for me and people to say with all of us obviously meaning through Monzo.

Sidenote - when we’re in a restaurant and my partner/friends/family see a bunch of people trying to figure out a bill split or pay individually they become Monzo spokespersons and start shouting “wouldn’t have that problem with Monzo!” Whilst elbowing me in the side etc

I like that friend.

At least there’s now two of us

If I know the other person has Monzo then I’ll use “can you monzo me” or “I’ll monzo you” - my husband and I also very much use bill splitting so the ask’ll be “can you do those bill splits?”. It just makes sense

Slightly bias probably by working here, but my mum also uses “I’ll monzo you” so it’s not just my generation!

I don’t think I ever say it but just because I don’t think many of my friends have Monzo. So I’ll say something like “bank transfer?” After we’ve sent details we then might discover the other has Monzo but it’s rare.

First, I’m disappointed to see this thread isn’t about the word frauded.

But to answer your question, I use “monzo” as a verb when talking specifically about monzo bill splits, but I don’t use monzo when talking about transfers on any other platform or BACS/FP.

This is dead cute. But it was created by a Monzo employee. It’s not really on a par with ‘googling’ or ‘hoovering’.

I was Monzoing earlier. Oh you were managing your finances? Obviously.

I’m not too proud to double post.

Used to use it quite a lot with the BFF as we both had Monzo, on holiday splitting meals etc

“just Monzo me the money”

[Arthursmith]

Never used it - I suspect it skews heavily to younger customers.
