Technically, you’d only need a business account for this if you’re receiving income from more than one source.
We tend to look at it as if you’re self-employed with a single invoice stream then you’re okay with a personal account but if you have multiple streams you’d need a business account.

It also depends on how the account is used. In this sort of case it’s likely that the person is also having to make payments to buy in supplies (fish, packaging etc) and services (website hosting, designers, etc) in which case they’re more likely to need a business account.
Genius 
I should have mentioned that one of the suppliers they need to pay is PrawnHub.
Update: It hit my account last night turns out because my monzo is a different name to my OF account it was put on hold by OF
I think this is because I have My first name being Lauryn then 4 middle names and a last name so I changed it by depoll to just Lauryn and a last name however my ID hasn’t been changed yet so my monzo was in my new name while OF was going off my ID name and since it didn’t match for safety it got blocked.
Always a sensible solution / answer to a problem, glad it’s sorted.
I guess it’s kinda my own fault as I never realised it’ll be anything to do with that issue. Apparently it’s a safety feature they have to stop accounts being hacked and letting anyone withdraw to any bank
Good to know they take security seriously
wonders if he chose the right career path now…
Not sure anyone wants to see my moobs out, suppose there’s 1 way to find out 🤦
Let us know how you get on 
Wow that’s a lot of middle names 
I have a few tbf each one has a meaning behind them
Nice! We struggled to pick just one name for our children nevermind 5 in total 
Can you please update on what happened? I’ve just created a account and due to payout now but I’ve got my Monzo details… does that mean they won’t payout my money to that account?
You’d be using your personal account for business purposes which is against the terms.
You’d need a business account for this activity, regardless of where the funds are coming from, and I’m not sure where most banks stand in terms of receiving high value transactions from the adult entertainment industry.
Speaking with chat would help resolve your query directly.

This is generally still true and if we had concerns about somebody using their personal account for something we consider to be business we will send a message asking you to stop before we’d take any action against you/your account (further action if the activity continued could include notice to close)
Further to earlier replies, would also note that any delays to withdrawals could be to OF doing checks as well, rather than anything Monzo might have done or might do:
forgot this place was a thing until my email got bombarded by comments.
ive still been using my personal Monzo to withdraw around 4k a week and not had any issues sometimes it even lets me get it early as one time i got a notification less than a minute after i made the withdraw asking i can claim my wage earlier.
