Glad to hear paid early worked for you. I find it really handy for refunds as a lot of them are bacs, so you get them a day early as well!

This is the kind of thing that stops me going full monzo. I just don’t believe all the accounts they’ve closed are dodgy. They’ve really put some people on an impossible financial situation. I’m appalled they are continuing to do it at this time. I know they legally cannot divulge reasons but they could leave some money in account for people to live on.

you should look at the actual complaints that the FCA deal with for Monzo to get a reflection of how many complaints they actually get through to an Ombudsmans decision

Type in Monzo , type in the date range and have a look at how many of these allegations come to the ombudsman

They can’t legally leave some money if they suspect illegal activity

Would you be concerned if you weren’t reading this forum? Because that’s the equivalent to the situation with other banks: we’re not reading their (non-existent) forums.

to put some perspective on some complaints, and Im not saying all complaints are unjustified , but Monzo gets no chance to answer back when accused of wrongdoing 
sometimes by “bad actors” on the forum , and facebook , who use intimidation tactics to try and get what they want :man_shrugging:

Some people 
rightly. 
or wrongly 
 get very upset when things don’t go the way that they want ,which is why the ombudsman has the unbiased last view of the situation

You’ll also notice a common pattern across most of stories from those claiming their accounts were “wrongly frozen”. For example, it’s always tens of thousands of pounds.

HI Judith :wave:

Have you checked your junk/spam folders? It’s common for Monzo ‘magic link’ emails to end up there.

1167

Especially if it’s Hotmail

1168

Yes - it’s not there. I did see something about using a gmail acc. But I don’t have one

Is your email a personal one, or a work/student account?

You need to open a Monzo Business account and that will give you two cards.

More information here:

I understood that already - but can you get multiple cards on the ‘sole trader’ account or is it restricted to ltd co account only
