Monese Discussion & Feedback

[SC95]

@MIROW

why are you suprised people use them, when people gladly used Monzo before they had FCSC protection.

Personally, I think Monese is very decent tbh.
And my comments were not what I think it was about the general feeling I gathered from loads of people commenting here and on other places about these reservations.

@MIROW

There is a real issue for those going to the UK to work where they can not open an account for their salary until they have an address and utility bills, but many employers won’t employ unless they get given bank account details. Monese allow you to apply before you go to the UK as anyone resident in EU can apply.

I made my feelings clear with this thread a long time ago

UK banks to check 70m bank accounts in search for illegal immigrants

Guardian article on above and email from Barclays today. I read somewhere Monzo planned to offer accounts to people who were not able to get one with high street banks but this might though that plan into bit of trouble I think. Not sure where Britain is going with all this tbh.
