Hello! So iā€™ve been a lurker for a long time, a monzonaut since April 2018 and thought it was time I hopped on to say a proper hello!

I got a job at Monzo because I was a HUGE fan, joining in August 2016 and had such a great experience by early 2017 I was telling my friend I would get a job at Monzo. By Christmas 2017 I had applied and thankfully they wanted me as much as I wanted them! I am the Supplier Operations manager which means I help look after our commercial relationships and compliance. I work with all the other teams at Monzo helping them with whatever they need from a deal with someone like Amazon, to a hiring contract with a recruiter!

Outside of work I live a very split life. I am a country girl at heart, have 2 horses at home but love the buzz of city life. I am a huge music fan and love festivals here in the UK and Europe and a big house music fan and can often be found on the dancefloor of a few well known establishments :headphones:

Hi name is Neil, I have just finished my Temporary work at the University of Oxford working on their big ORLO(Oxford Online reading list) and I am looking for a new start career wiseā€¦I come from a background in Biological research/Programming.
Currently been with Monzo since the start of the year as a customer and have just started playing with Monzoā€™s API and learning Auth0 so I can look at if statements and Automated Pot deposits/ just generally trying to mess about with it
P.S @simonb I saw you were hiring, but I couldnā€™t DM you due the chat restriction. :joy:

Welcome @NeilM :wave:

Your background in bio research/programming sounds cool, have fun messing with the API! If you want to automate some pot deposits though people tend to use IFTTT since Monzo has integration with it :slight_smile:

In regards to private messaging I think you only unlock that after being on the forums posting a while. While youā€™re waiting for @simonb to respond, if you havenā€™t seen already there is a topic here about Monzo COps which has lots of people discussing their experience with the application process.

Then there is their job vacancies page

Hope all this helps!

Hey @Ordog,
The main reason I am posting was just to introduce myself so that when I come to formally apply recruitment people and others can put a name to a ā€˜digital faceā€™ as it were, rather than just a random application.
Hmm well the API is um fun :joy: Learning AuthO is very interesting.
I am just about to delve fully into IFTTT so we will see how that gets on.
Thank you for the Blog Post link :slight_smile:

6 posts were split to a new topic: Account Query?

Hello, fellow Monzites (is there a collective noun for Monzo account holders?)

Iā€™m John: Iā€™m a quantitative risk consultant (modelling, AI, machine learning, bayesian, probabilistic / predictive analytics and the likes) and on my third career so far, and in my late 40s.

Me and my partner Dora (also a new Monzite!) live with our labrador, Poppy, on Shooters Hill. mXlOxKGNSaiFJax8NT6wtQ|375x500

Weā€™ve come to Monzo from Metro Bank where (shame) Iā€™m a former employee. I love Metro Bank and their branch thing (especially their love for dogs) but their idea to charge ~3% for me to spend my own money on my debit card outside of SEPA is pretty much the final straw.

Hi Richard. Nice meeting you. I am glad to be part of the community too. It has escaped my mind participating further for general discussions. But a thought ran by my mind just now, and luckily someone had posted it to the forum. It reminded that I had an account here, which is good. I also enjoy when it specifies your activity thoroughly on the group. It incentives more time spent here. I am sure there are a lot of good forum topics that are extremely beneficial. Looking forward to participating more.

Hi Martin.
Iā€™d like to contribute to the forum by asking if you are enjoying it. Are you on the Beta account or have you fully transferred everything onto the normal one?
Kid Regards,

Hi - new to Monzo and am trying to set account up. Having problems with app on mobile it stops working when I try to verify ID. Also whats the next step to get a Monzo card - I had a ā€œgolden ticket linkā€ but not sure what to do now???
