since itā€™s probably the first payment from that account to Monzo theres a chance it will get held by the sending bank for extra checks

Normally only takes a few hours if thats the case, otherwise its instant from UK banks

Hello all,

  I have been a Monzo user for a while but I have just completed the switch over to full Monzo and thought I should get involved more in the community. I work in healthcare and play football as a hobby as well as organise the matches, I love monzo as I put the leftover change after the pitch booking into a pot which means every few weeks I can sort a pitch for free with the savings.

Thanks,

Tay

Hi all, I am Oliver. I have been an advertising professional until 2017, now Iā€™ve moved to the UK and working as a trainer at a financial call centre. I have been quite a huge fan of Monzo since I was introduced to it. Although I still bank with Barfleyā€™s (no typo), I am looking for every reason to try out Monzo as my primary bank. But I am still looking diligently for the balls to just switch my bank as I am quite chicken when it comes to finances. I am here to see what ideas are flying around here at Monzo, maybe also add in a few of mine along the way.

Hi Oliver & welcome :wave:

Think of Monzo as a bank on steroids. Instant notifications, data-rich transaction details, no additional oversea charges (when using card or Apple/Google Pay), Gambling block, card freezing, pots (very nice!), Get-paid-early, Salary Sorter, and so onā€¦

I trialled Monzo in 2017 when it didnā€™t have all the features available but experienced the direction it was moving and switched to Monzo as my/our primary bank as soon as Joint Accounts launched. Never looked back. Make the switch - you wonā€™t regret it :+1:

Hi Iā€™m Karenā€¦ I live in Cambridge and travel regularly to visit my son in Sri Lanka.
Does Monzo work successfully when withdrawing cash from an ATM over there?
Iā€™d like to find a way of getting cash out of my account with no charges of course!
I understand you can withdraw up to a maximum of Ā£200 a month but want to know if it is always successful from atms.
Thanks and help on this gratefully received!
