is it in your junk folder ? if it is it probably won’t work as it has a life span I believe - after 10 mins it doesnt work ( ??? ) so you would need to delete from your email and re apply for a magic link ---

Also make sure you haven’t made a typo or anything in your email address. ---

I’m not even getting any emails sent anymore I have pressed re send email over a dozen times I have also double and triple checked the email is exactly right this is very frustrating as I need to pay for something and I cant access my account ---

You are talking to someone who sends over ten million a month, I know how both transactional and bulk emails work 👍. SMS is not the holy grail. Cell networks have outages - sometimes for many many hours. ---

Oh I agree with that. I don’t like Magic Links in general, not just Monzo using them. ---

They not perfect some email clients you would get them in spam so unless you look you won’t know and won’t get any notification. They is a time limited as well. Maybe they could offer sms as a back up just in case you dint get the magic link. ---
