Good morniinnng all! I brought pastries!
I’m Pete. I’ve been using Monzo for about a year. My fiancee sold it to me on the basis of the fab color of the card and many other benefits. I enjoy doing brazilian jiujitsu, playing guitar and planning my wedding! Good to meet you all

Hi Richard, I thought I had signed up for a Monzo account but there don’t appear to be any instructions on how it works or how I can apply for a card to use abroad as I’ll be travelling to Peru & Bolivia in a couple of weeks. Any help would be appreciated. Sal
Go to the app or play store and download the app. Sign up and upload your ID there and you’ll have your card in a few days
You’re my favourite newbie! Welcome

Hi 
I’m Josh! I’ve been using Monzo for a few years since the Beta days but acknowledge I am very late to the party on this community forum 
. I have been using Dozens community forum and found the opportunity to feedback, share ideas and speak to others enjoyable so thought I’d join the conversation.
I work for a traditional bank currently and get frustrated in the way we do things and love the way Monzo and others have been trailblazing new standards in digital propositions. I’ve been to lots of the open office events at the HQ and this is just another way in which Monzo is leading the way.
I’m a sports fanatic, if I had to narrow it down to two it would be 
and 
. I love to scuba dive, albeit not in the UK, it’s too cold 
. Really enjoy traveling which gives me a chance to explore other cultures and their history and a chance to pursue a new hobby of mine photography 
.
Nice to e-meet you all !

Welcome Josh! 
While I was initially disappointed at the lack of pastries (@iPeteM has set the bar super high there), your emoji game is strong 
. And that’s good enough for me!

Hi, I’m Marc.
I’ve been with Monzo a few months, now finally getting round to switching everything across from my other bank account - which looks like it’s done by magic 
I work in renewable energy, love taking photos, chilling out, travel and tea and cats!
