Agree…cash deposit with Monzo is still a grey area.
Corner shops either DO NOT know how it works or are MISLEADING customers.
One of the shops I visited refused to accept cash more than GBP 150 stating that his paypoint terminal has exceeded it’s paypoint cash deposit limit !!!
Post offices accepting Mozo cash deposits would be a great move if it happens at all.
Nothing?
No other bank charges, I certainly wouldn’t say I was happy paying for something that no other provider charges for. Monzo are a bank, the small amount of cash they’re dealing with via PayPoint is a cost of doing business and should be recovered through other means not a per use charge.
I don’t disagree in any way with the expectation of free deposits in UK banking but the facts laid out are:
Monzo charge
Post offices charge more than Paypoint does
So I put those two together and reach an expectation that Monzo will charge more than £1 for PO deposits.
Where I was going with this was challenging any silent assumption that PO deposits would automatically be free “just because”. We may get there, but I don’t expect to on launch day of any PO scheme.
Monzo could be saying they don’t profit from it because the account on a whole doesn’t profit from it. They haven’t exactly released exact figures so it’s not easy to say for sure what they do get and what they don’t. £1 for a £10 cash transaction seems exorbitant and I’d highly doubt it’s that high.
