Did the notification give you any reason or was it just a blunt decline?

I thought that Monzo was 'schuh’ing you for breaching your limit for a second there…

The app did provide a notification, but I was using my card at the time to pay for petrol over £30 and so while under pressure to pay, the last thing I thought of was to check the app on my phone. The issue was that I needed to transfer a fair amount of funds that day and I’d forgotten I’d paid the large amount via card and the 2 smaller amount by transfers. I should have done it the other way around. Lesson learned!

Hello my name is Dominik. I recently just opened a Monzo bank account. Waiting for my debit card. Monzo has a great customer service and a awesome community. I love the mobile app and all is features. I did a fast payment £1000 from my bank account to my Monzo account couple hours ago. I was wondering how long it will take to recieve it in my Monzo account, but am very happy to be with Monzo.

since it’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 I’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 Barfley’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
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 on…
I trialled Monzo in 2017 when it didn’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 won’t regret it

Hi I’m Karen… 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?
I’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 £200 a month but want to know if it is always successful from atms.
Thanks and help on this gratefully received!
