Rebecca, hi and welcome.

I’m not a Monzo account holder so can’t give you any advice on card acceptance etc, but I do visit South Africa frequently particularly Cape Town and the Eastern Cape though I have travelled extensively throughout SA. If you want any advice on things to do/what not to do, places to visit and particularly, how to save money on flights getting there, please feel free to PM me.

Hi Topsy,
I am just curious why you aren’t a Monzo card holder, but are here following the forums? Are you based outside the UK perhaps?

Hi, I’m not a Monzo card holder because I am a Starling Bank card holder and unfortunately the Starling forum was closed. It’s nice to actually still be a part of a fintech community, even though I don’t have a Monzo card. I am UK based.
