I was in Japan last week, a friend of mine who now lives there was able to download the app from the Japanese Google Play Store. I suspect that she might have problems when it comes to entering an address, but as the app seems accessible elsewhere I was wondering if some global roll out had gone on behind the scenes without much publicity.
As a side question, if I direct her to my monzo.me link I assume that the transaction would take place in GBP and the currency conversion would be done at her end (assuming she is transferring from a local Japanese bank)?
The app can be downloaded from outside the UK but users should see a message explaining that it’s UK only at the moment (or if they don’t it’s on the way).
The Channel Isle and Isle of Mann and other Crown Dependancies are outside both the United Kingdom and the EU. However Monzo does plan to expand outside the UK in future (American and some European countries have been mentioned) but no timetable for overseas expansion has yet been anounced
