Introduce yourself 👋

I understand you can commence the 1p challenge up to 31.1.2025. My only annoyance is agreeing the amounts in my accounting package without having to enter it every day. I’ve found a work round so that should work hopefully. :man_shrugging:t3:

Hello everyone! :wave: :wave:

I’m Dean, and I am a online shopper. I’m excited to be here on the Monzo forum! I recently signed up for Monzo’s perks current account today and am eagerly awaiting its arrival. This month, I plan to set up my savings pots and ISAs.

After more than a decade with Nationwide, I decided it was time for a change. With their rates dropping and a recommendation from my best friend and watching your advertisements too, I believe Monzo will be a better fit for me. I’m looking forward to transferring my entire account to Monzo this year and enjoying the perks, especially those related to outings like cinema trips! :cinema: :grinning:

I can’t wait to engage with all of you and share experiences in the days and weeks ahead.

Thank you for the welcome @_Tom.

Monzo is great fun, and a great bank.

I think I’m an online shopper too. My granny wasn’t.

Sounds great @anon90289270 and it depends on which version of the word “online shopper” you mean?

Hi Jamie :wave:

I used to be a huge DOI fan; in recent years I haven’t watched it because it seems to have stagnated, as do many of the shows ITV continue to air.
What keeps you tuned in? I miss the days of Fred, Mel and Frankie, as well as Robin Cousins on the panel.

Welcome @ThrillistUK :wave: and Happy Birthday :birthday: too

Yeeeeeeesaaaaaahhhhhhhhh (the sound of Smiler 3 times back-to-back)

Love Alton Towers.

Mine was last week. But mine was 28.5 again, rather than 28…

Have a good one :partying_face: :beers: :man_dancing: :mirror_ball:

Welcome to the community @ThrillistUK and Happy Birthday :smiley: !!

Hi all! I’ve been a Monzo user since the days of the prepaid card. I work in digital project delivery, so I’ve always enjoyed using digital products and services. I find Monzo an excellent bank and the app is near perfection.

hey.
I’m Dave, I work as a content designer for a software company. For those that have no idea what that means… I help the UX team design software and try to make sure everything the customer does at every point of contact with the business or app is as simple as it can be. I’m new to the role but it’s really interesting.

Im a biker (between bikes as last one was stolen), geek, gay and more importantly a West Ham supporter. #COYI

Hi everyone,

I am new to the Monzo forum and just wanted to introduce myself. I have recently started using Monzo and I am really impressed by how easy and intuitive it is to manage my money. I am here to learn more about how to make the most of Monzo features, discover tips and tricks from the community and maybe share some experiences of my own along the way.

I am especially interested in budgeting tools, saving strategies and how others are using Monzo to stay on top of their finances. If you have any recommendations, beginner tips or threads I should check out, I do love to hear them.

Looking forward to learning and growing with this great community.

Thanks.

Wow! Either there’s no new users or this thread died!

Well then, sorry (not sorry) to necrobump here but I’m Jake! Most of my friends call me Recker, I’ve been on and off using Monzo for a couple of years now but I decided to start using it as my main bank.

I’ve stalked the community a few times to see what’s happening, and the chats are what inevitably made me subscribe to Perks, and I haven’t regretted it yet!

I’m no expert on Monzo at all but I look forward to helping out!

Hi, I’m Alex, a blind guy who loves technology and watching random funny videos, I got started with Monzo yesterday as I was looking for a way to have all my accounts in one place and also as a replacement for my Halifax account which I find the Halifax app annoying as when I click on one thing I get jumped to something else. I use an iPhone with VoiceOver, I also have a backup Android in case its needed, but I was researching Monzo and found that it works out for me.

I joined via a referral from a friend who is also blind, and I got my £10 reward for making my first card payment. Overall I am liking Monzo so far, its awesome!
