Apologies, I misread the thread slightly
Love your comment on the MSE article.

I actually they think too come across as a little crazy.
If I was a little older with a legacy bank and showing an interest in moving, and being a little more savvy with banking, I would find the comments a little odd/off putting.
I believe you mean my comments? Thing on MSE is, people aren’t looking to move banks, they wanted cheap no fee travel cards and when Monzo introduced fees because fee free was unsustainable people thought their prepaid travel cards were exploited because that’s what MSE said they were.
The difference is, they’re not travel cards, Monzo is a bank and not a travel card, and there have been so many topics on the forum here and other locations asking Monzo to stay on track with the travel card thinking it’s that, that Monzo offers, when the prepaid card is only a beta for everything that willl be on the CA.
Yeah some of my comments there were defensive but people saying they were exploited?.. Nah, they were just defending something they thought to be true without research because a website called Money saving expert said it to be true 
Didn’t mean to come across rude but I still blame MSE for false information. Which in turn can become bad PR for Monzo who I think will do great things

You didn’t come across as rude. No idea what they are on about. You were honest and tried to put people who clearly didn’t read up on Monzo and what they are and what they are trying to become in the right lane.
It’s literally like me joining Halifax to get an account that offers free withdrawals overseas and then considering Halifax a travel/currency company. It’s idiots not getting 100% what they want and throwing a little childish tantrum.
And yes, I have no qualms that I come across rude there. I’m almost done to death with idiots who can’t take 10 minutes to do some research rather than relying on one article on one website.

Appreciate your passion mate but remember Monzo could have approach MSE and maybe corrected them or put a stop to it by explaining in one of their threads. I don’t use MSE and personally, I feel it’s bit patronising but I think Monzo gained a lot of customers on the back of MSE free advertisement and to some extent were happy to let that go because the number of customers meant more chance of convincing people to switch to CA in future.

Totally agree.
The worst thing is they then go and bad mouth Monzo…even though Monzo weren’t the people that deluded them in the first place!
What do you think they do on here?

MSE have threads, don’t they?
Sure, but I’m not sure it is really Monzo’s place to go and invade another company’s forum.
You saw how well the reaction went to criticism on there recently!
Wait what???
You mean they have a forum we can join to ‘discuss’ this?
Show me!

“I’ve smashed mine in Turkey at the ATM this year and will do in USA next month.”
And this is why we can’t have nice things

As I have previously pointed out many a time. It really annoys me to see people doing this but I guess in this day and age everyone always treats the companies as the bullies - why can’t they see Monzo is different?
