Apple Pay would behave almost exactly like a Mastercard contactless card. So all the quirks that apply to cards would also apply to Apple Pay/Google Pay.

Hi, I’ve just joined and have no idea what I’m doing… 
I wanted to find out about the Monzo card to use on holiday after watching Martin Lewis on tv. But I’m not sure if I’m looking at the right card. I thought it was a credit card but it seems to be a debit card is that right??
Hello 
Monzo is an awesome current account that also happens to offer fee-free payments abroad (free ATM withdrawals are capped to 200£ per month, after which there is a 3% charge).
If you’re looking for a modern current account with instant notifications, spending analytics & brilliant customer service, go for it!
If you purely want a travel card you may want to go with Starling Bank instead, as they also offer fee-free payments abroad but also don’t cap ATM withdrawals.

Off the back of @anon23935806 post, this may be worthwhile reading. It provides a list of specialist cards just for abroad use only, also some credit cards that are good too.

I really doubt any travel card could beat Starling. Travel card providers have for sole revenue their cards and the fees they can tack on them - surely there would be fees somewhere.
Starling on the other hand makes the bulk of their money off overdraft fees and their business services (accounts, FPS payment gateway, etc), which means they can keep their current account completely free.

Hi 
I’ve just joined Monzo and am finding things a little different from what I’ve been used to. Hopefully there won’t be any issues.

Hi there Richard and all
I am Jamie I have worked in Construction and Civil Engineering for 17+ years.
My interests are many and i flit from one to another very quickly.
I was introduced (badgered and hounded) to Monzo by a friend of mine. She uses her card to keep expenses separate. I use mine for everything.
I joined the forum only because i have recently encountered a problem and like a noob I haven’t searched previously asked questions yet but ill add it here anyway 
.
Having expertly damaged my phone I have to send it off to the insurance company for them to assess whether they will repair or replace. I have sourced another phone as last time this happened it took nearly 2 weeks for the turnaround. I am trying to log into Monzo on the new device but am having great difficulty
I have tried to log in on the new device and this is what i get when using the link sent through email.
Regardless of this current issue to which I am sure there is a solution I am still loving the card and the additional features it offers.

Might be a stupid question but have you installed the Monzo app? I usually get this error when a page attempts to open a custom URL scheme for which no app is installed.
Hi there, the app is installed I have also tried opening it on a macbook and get a similar message.

It’s expected on a MacBook as there is no Monzo app installed.
Have you opened the app at least once before trying to click the login link?

The app still works perfectly on the old phone i have deleted it reinstalled and used the link to log back in. I am also able to get onto the online version of Monzo.
Welcome
