Exactly the same for me. An active card check this morning (luckily card was frozen), but same company - never heard of them either.

Same here.
I tried to search but it wasnāt a English website looked like a europion language.

What happens if your phone dies and you only have your card but itās frozen and youāre in an emergency.
Good on them catching it but itās a little curious how they have so many genuine Monzo card numbers that work.
Could be generated using a machine maybe
Youād think thereās some mechanisms in place though. Because itās going through multiple hops, any system somewhere in the chain before Monzo if it was just using random numbers that donāt exist itād get rate limited - so Iām wondering if they have a list of genuine card numbers somehow and are running through that.

Probably the same as the Ticketmaster breach that Monzo discovered - they had tens of thousands of card numbers for every bank.

Lloyds still do! Iāve been buying Apple products with that card for a decade. Iāve called them to tell them Iāll be buying and they tell me it will be fine, then it fails. Every. Single. Time.
At what point does āHmm, expensive iPhone. This could be fraud. Decline!ā change to āYou only bought one a year ago, do you really need to upgrade again you obsessive? Approved

That doesnāt happen, so itās a mute scenario. I donāt carry any cards with me ever if itās linked up Google Pay. Thereās no emergency Iād be in where I need to make a payment just like that it my phone ever did die off.
