Please keep the prepaid cards

I know Monzo is moving towards being a proper full on bank and maybe there is no money in the current prepaid solution vs having people using full-fledged current accounts but it would be amazing to have the choice of the two.

Unfortunately that won’t be an option -

Please keep the prepaid cards

Sorry Martyn - we won’t be keeping the prepaid card past the end of this year. It adds too much operational complexity for very little benefit and the program costs a lot to run. There’s absolutely nothing to stop you from treating the current account in the same way as a prepaid card though - ie, not having your salary paid into it, not having any direct debits, and transferring over money from another current account for spending.
