Paying money in?

[Venomx (Terry Adams)]

What options are there to get physical cash into my monzo?

[kolok]

Paypoint , or deposit in to another account and transfer to monzo.

[Venomx (Terry Adams)]

OK thanks I’m sure the newsagents have a paypoint so I just say to them I want to deposit money Into my bank account? Or can I just go to a legacy bank and transfer it to my monzo via bank transfer or would I need an account with said bank?

[kolok]

People have said they’ve had more luck with paypoint by saying ‘can I top-up this card’ and giving your monzo card.

You would have to have a bank account with that legacy bank to use it.

[Venomx (Terry Adams)]

Thanks dude I’ll give it a go

[Venomx (Terry Adams)]

I’m asking because of this corona nonsense
Is it best to put the money on my card when I get it or will cash be fine providing I wash my hands every time I use it?

Also is paypoint instant?

[phildawson (Sorry, I will have to escalate this.)]

Usually instant but around 10mins in the help.

As for should you, as it costs you £1 it depends if that’s acceptable.

[Venomx (Terry Adams)]

Thats great thanks dude

Never had an issue with Paypoint, will be in your account within 5-10 minutes.

By the way, theres a £1k deposit limit every 6 months, although I think it should be increased for the next few months, vote if you agree!

Any chance of temporarily increasing the six month deposit limit?

Voted! Sorry, just seen this and thank you for moving! Monzo is great for the low paid as it helps keep track of spending and saving and normally it’s fine with banks being open 6 days a week but if people have Direct Debits coming out of Monzo and transferring cash is no longer an option from a high street bank, this could become an issue. Stay safe everybody!

Do that. Wash the cash too.

This does NOT constitute money laundering despite what the Sunday night comedians might tell you

Woah! Why so low? Especially when you’re paying so much for it…

[Venomx (Terry Adams)]

Went I to 5 newsagents who do paypoint and said they dont do it for bank cards
So went Into the post office and did it with my barclays. Monzo didnt work

[Rat_au_van (Em)]

Did you ask them to try and to just swipe it?

It won’t work at the post office

[Venomx (Terry Adams)]

Yeah one newsagents had a sign up saying " pay point out of order"

And the other ones straight-up refused to try swiping

[rickyzalman]

Does anyone know if there’s a maximum limit you can pay in via PayPoint in a single day?

Thanks

[16bitkieran (Kieran)]

You can pay in a minimum of £5 and a maximum of £300 in one go

Use a different bank (Starling recommended) then transfer, it’s what I do on the very rare occasion I have cash
