I’m with Santander but am using my Mondo card daily as it’s so much better.
One thing I would love is the ability to lodge cash at a Post Office counter. I don’t have a Santander near me so I use the PO to lodge all cash, and if I could pop my Mondo card in and top it up that way, I’d be over the moon 
Anything like that possible?
The only way to possibly do this is to go into a Barclays brance as that is where there account is. You’ll need the sort code, account number, account name and your reference number (all found in the standing order payment section).
I have never done this, but don’t see why it wouldn’t work.
With the Mondo card being only a temporary feature pending the launch of a current account, I wouldn’t expect them expend too much effort on features that would be ‘card only’.
Given that paying cash into the account will be a problem in the future too, however, I’m not suggesting you write off this request entirely.
think making payments in a postoffice is actually a great idea. Many banks work with the PO to providing some banking features over the counter. :mondo: would benefit greatly from having the same deal with PO.
Yes, agreed. It is extremely rare that I would visit a bank branch nowadays - only for cash related transactions - but the ability to pay in cash / cheques (for however long they last) is a seldom, but presently important part of a bank’s function.
I would hope that Mondo has some similar arrangement with the PO to cater for these rare instances.
I guess with cheques, there’s probably a technologically better solution such as scanning in an app, but cash will always be an issue.
Bring on the cashless society! 
I think that is the way the bank will run. Being self employed, I’m going to need to be able to pay cash into my account. Most banks allow it, so I can’t see why :mondo: wouldn’t be the same (even though I know they are different).
It’s such a fundamental - I’m sure they’ll have this well in hand
think they will or another service otherwise you wouldn’t be able to pay cash into your :mondo: current account.
Although Mondo will be my main account moving forward I will still keep my Metrobank account open for things like this and when I actually need to go into a branch as the Post Office near me is in a WH Smiths so only open shop hours.
for other accounts I use PayPoint in a local shop from 7-10 Mon-Sat 8-8 Sun so that much better than the Post Office (which in my town shuts for lunch from 12-2:30)
