Switched from Monzo to a legacy bank (Barclays) 💫

You want to be able to do transactions even when your phone has a flat battery or off for repair.

Whilst I agree with you, I think you and I do have to accept that Monzo doesn’t want to be “mobile first” but “mobile only”.

A case for an iPad app or web-based login?

As Nick said a web interface is being looked at and we’re assessing the viability of it, but we’ve said from the beginning that we’re aiming to be a mobile only bank for the moment so such a thing is a fair amount of time away (if it happens). Were such a thing to happen it would probably not be a fully featured interface and more of a portal to freeze cards or log your phone out, at least for a first iteration! As Christophorus said though, the next release of the API will likely give rise to…

If you think that you may ever need access to your money in situations where your phone is unavailable (and you can’t use your card) I would strongly advise to have meaningful amount of money in a 2nd current account that doesn’t have such limitations.
