I just topped up my Starbucks card in the app, and it worked first time.

Hmm I have successfully used my Mondo card with EDF Energy, Tesco Bank, and EE.

Any update as to when Sky Bet will be accepting Monzo card? Update from the merchant?

There is no update on Sky Bet accepting the current Monzo pre paid card as their policy is to only accept debit cards for gambling and not to accept pre paid card and we are not going to get them to change their policy on this. However with the launch of the current account will come a regular debit…

Any further news on the current account?

As @anon91821566 has recently said [image] Launching The Bank the answer is broadly “the first half of 2017”. We’re testing out the very first Monzo bank accounts internally right now

I heard it was summer 2017, according to sources on twitter.

It is being staggered from just staff now and then rolling it out to some customers before a wider launch to the public (which may or may not be around June time) and they are currently recruiting additional customer service staff to cope with anticipated workloads.

DriveNow doesn’t accept Monzo cards during the sign-up process as there is no name on the card.

anon38211169: We’ll keep the pinned post updated regularly & will do our best to work with these merchants to get Monzo unblocked, but any contacts you have would also be very helpful :kissing_heart: It’s become unpinned? Always used to be at the top of the forum.
