We love our 1-2-1s at Monzo. I remember my first week here, I had so many people come to me just to say “Hey, you’re new - let’s have a 1-2-1”. I was in awe of that! It’s one of my favourite things about Monzo, the people. Now I’d like to share that with our awesome community – and give you the chance to do a 1-2-1.
This is a form where you can register your interest - and at the beginning of every month we’ll randomly select some people and invite them to meet someone from the team. This meeting can be anytime in April, and can be over a coffee during the week if you’re based in London or a Skype call.
Over time, we’ll see what works and what doesn’t and improve upon this. If it’s something you end up enjoying 
Below is the list of team members that you’ll be able to choose from - and a little bit about them
