According to Monzo support, I received a PayPal refund; however, this wasn’t reflected on the balance visible in the app.
I am still waiting on a further response, but this seems like a very serious bug; if the actual balance of the account, differs from that visible to the user within the app.
P.S. The original transaction is with ASOS, but used PayPal to pay.
Me too! I’ve exported all transactions to Excel, I definitely haven’t received the funds. In the meantime, I will not be using my Monzo card to pay for things through PayPal. @alexs
By ASOS - 18th May. (E-mail received)
By PayPal - 18th May. (E-mail received, also states that it’ll go to the card used to pay, and not the PayPal balance)
Paypal refunds on normal bank accounts (Nationwide and BoS anyway) can often taken 2+ business days to appear in my actual account after merchant has provided a Paypal refund.
the original transaction was processed on the 18th May… it’s June now
It seems the problem was with Monzo’s card processor, not providing enough information in order to make a “feed item”; so the funds come to your balance, but there is not information available.
It’s not a satisfactory situation, if for example you’re returning various things from online purchases, (which I do often) there isn’t a way to check that you have received the money, except watching your account balance constantly.
