Hey, Hubert here. I am husband, father of three and software engineer. That last one makes me really appreciative of what the Monzo team is doing. While I truly believe the service they deliver makes me better at the first two. See you around!
Good afternoon everyone. My name is Simon and I’m from Nottingham. I joined Monzo last week and so far I’m loving it but I would like to see a way of paying in cash through the post office maybe.
I’m Matt from Bristol. Loving Monzo so far! Great customer service, love the feeling of being involved with the community and helping to shape future developments. Can’t wait to see the evolution continue!
Hi, I’m Sean! I’m 17 and signed up to Monzo a week or so ago, I’m now going to get my wages paid into my Monzo account!
Welcome @behaghel, @SmoochySimon, @BristolMatt & @seanlloydy
@SmoochySimon cash deposits are being worked on as we speak. I beilive we’re due for an update closer to the end of the year. You can read more here: How do you deposit cash? [Feedback thread]
Hope you all enjoy being a part of the community!
Hello everyone
I’m Mathew, from South Wales, and I work in marketing. Geek at heart so love the idea of banks like Monzo and seeing what they come up with.
I signed up to the Monzo community a few days ago but only now getting around to say hi!
Welcome @Parker,
Fellow South Wales user here
Diolch yn fawr @Jackcrwhitney!
Hi Brenda, I m fr kl .I will b visiting for 72 days n unsure if I should apply fr s Munzo current or savings acct to get the contactless card fr London underground.are there any fixed monthly n maintenance charges n if yes, how much are they n is there a minimum period the acct must be active without penalty charges ? I m very wary if I transferred funds n the funds do not get credited into the Munzo account.please advice.
Hi @sychin ,
If you’re only visiting the UK for a small period of time and are looking for some way to use contactless on the underground you may be better off picking up an oyster card: https://oyster.tfl.gov.uk/oyster/entry.do
Monzo is a UK Current Account and isn’t really designed for users visiting the UK on short trips/holidays.
Hey everyone
John here originally from Scotland but currently living in England … joined Monzo a couple of months ago and love it - just getting round to registering on here!
Welcome!
Are you full Monzo yet?
Sure am! I joined just after I got paid so I had to wait another full month for my first salary to go in to Monzo but all done now
tqvm
I m staying for 2 over months n I have a Uk address
Can you provide information on the monthly maintenance and fixed costs and the minimum period that account must be kept active for this and future visits?
tqvm
@sychin You’ll find the answers you need here:
Do I need to be a UK resident?
Yes, you currently need to be resident in the UK to get a Monzo card. We hope to launch internationally in the future though!
What fees do you charge?
We don’t charge any fees for using Monzo day-to-day. Payments in the UK, cash withdrawals in the UK and payments abroad are all free, with no added fees. If you’re withdrawing cash abroad, you can withdraw up to £200/month for free, after which you’ll be charged a 3% fee. You can still make payments in shops, restaurants and online for free though, even when abroad.
Generally UK residents are defined as people who mainly live in the UK (min 6 months), but I’m not sure if Monzo defines this a different way.
Jack has listed the relevant info in his post, but just a point- if you’re planning to transfer the money into Monzo, you’ll need to use Transferwise or something to receive international payments, as receiving international payments directly isn’t supported yet.
