Should I make Monzo my Main Account?

[SC95]

Hi Tom

You might find these threads useful. A lot of feedback on same question;

What is the upside in banking with Monzo?

Above are links to three recent threads. Two are critical and one is looking for reasons to switch. The relative sizes of these threads reinforces the idea that there is a lot of negativity. To try and give the newish member an insight into the advantages of banking with Monzo I wonder if we can post them here. I am thinking just of Monzo, not relative to any other bank and in particular what you see as a major benefit of having Monzo in your life.

Should you use your Monzo card as your main card?

Hi, new user here. Just wondering as it is so handy, I might start to use it as my normal card, what do you guys do? Bonus question: is there a maximum on the contactless e.g. £30?

If you haven't moved over, what's stopping you from making Monzo your main bank?

There’s only one thing stopping me from making Monzo my main account: support for international payments. If you haven’t made Monzo your main account (where you receive your pay), what is it that’s stopping you?

Switched from Monzo to a legacy bank (Barclays)

After using Monzo as my main account for all income and outgoings moved to Barclays I moved my salary, direct debits, standing orders and all the spending to Monzo with intent to use Monzo as my only account for all my needs back in September. I expected some glitches and was prepared to deal with few companies not accepting Monzo DD and card etc… I have also been recommending Monzo a lot to others but now feel I was a bit naive in believing the hype and also believing in Monz…
