Security of the pre paid card

Monzo aren’t keeping the prepaid cards I’m afraid.

We’re not planning to support the prepaid card in the UK for the long term - it adds a lot of operational complexity without much benefit. We’ll try to offer a basic bank account which should be available to more-or-less everyone in the UK, so it seems like a pretty good replacement for the prepaid card.

But you don’t have to use your Monzo account as your primary bank account if you don’t want to. If you do, then you have lots of protection from fraud already - it’ll be just like going back to the time before Monzo existed or you could use one of the alternative services that Jamie’s mentioned.
