Hello all. My name is Dorian Liriano and I am a a husband, a father and most recently ā Project Coordinator (just started new role last Monday!) Iām originally from NY now in ATL working for an airline. I have a background in IT and I love tech. I love gadgets, tech toys and testing software. I love to spend time with my family, read up on personal development and exercise (strength training). I have a fascination with leadership.
Like many folks recently popping up, I too come from the world of Simple. Iāve been with Simple since 2016 (or 2014), where I migrated from HSBC. It was a big move since I was convinced I needed a physical establishment for banking purposes. I trusted Simple and they earned my trust. Now Iām between testing Monzo (thank you for the invite!), Fidelity CMA, One and SoFi. I hear great things about Monzo so Iām looking forward to:
- Being part of this community
- Providing some valuable insights
- Making Monzo my main bank!
FWIW, the fact that Monzo has a community already sets it apart from the other banks Iām testing. Its a great start. Here we go folks, on this journey together.

Hi, Iāve been with Monzo a good couple of years. I just broke off to know for sure and itās a couple more than I thought! Pretty much still unknown when I joined, it was great fun to produce the ācoral cardā for payment. Without fail it would cause whispers, gasps, compliments or, from the brave, questions on how to acquire one. Iām happy to see many more Coral Cards around nowadays.
Iāve been treated well on the couple of occasions I had to interact with the Monzonians via the ālive translation appā. I truly admire and support Monzoās App icons for cultural & social variety and wonder when more will be available.
Until this evening the only negative feeling I had about Monzo was that for ages EVERY SINGLE BL@@DY TIME I logged on you were desperate to get into my address book. I began to feel like a Plain Jane with an unscrupulous Suitor hoodwinking me for my Society connections.
I was disappointed earlier on reading your statement about giving data to Facebook so I opened a bottle of wine and settled down to read the entire blurb for once. On reflection, itās a fact of life that in order to succeed in business nowadays an entity must have dealings with WhatsAppās communications, Facebookās advertising and Googleās Analytics. The fact theyāre each a side of the same multi-faceted smother blanket has lost its shockability.
My missions before bed tonight are to (damn well) get the ringtone Iāve created saved and operational AND to find the toggle for DARK MODE in the Monzo App. The way things are going I may still be wondering around here at breakfast time.
Keep safe and well everyone,
Ed
Hi Edward & welcome 
There are a few people here constantly watching for the Dark Mode feature to be activated. Itās already been discovered in the 
app teardowns but weāre needing 
to switch it on on their side.
Iāve just checked again and DM isnāt active, Iāll have some breakfast too and check againā¦

Iām Dave Iāve been with Monzo for two years this year and I really cannot wait to leave your bank, which I will be doing once the chargeback for fraud that Iāve been fobbed off with has been dealt with. Your customer service is non existent. You are the ultimate case of all style and no substance. I now have a basic account with Santander and receive a far better more personal service than I ever received from you.

Hello everyone! My name is Laurence, I work in the armed forces as an infrastructure engineer but looking to change career paths to software engineering. Currently learning python as I would like to go the DevOps route and heard that python is a good place to start.
I plan to start building a portfolio of little projects over the next few months and thought that working on something using the monzo API would be something fun to sink my teeth into

Hi and welcome,
Is that tech infrastructure, if so Iām curious as to why the change ?
Evening Kolok,
Thanks for the welcome š
Yes it is, my actual role I suppose would be windows server administrator if I was going to be more specific, but we do quite a lot as part of our team.
The desire to change is mainly based on my interests in the software engineering environment, the idea of building and creating/fixing things is really exciting to me. And while I do have fun in my current job, I canāt see myself doing it forever.
I have dabbled in front end dev stuff like html and css, now looking at some back end stuff just so I can get the bigger picture!
What do you do?
