Passport or Driving License. It does the ID check in the app, you take a pic and record yourself saying a phrase, and you get authenticated within a few minutes. Then you get given a card which you can quickly link to your account.
Thanks for that - youâre right, it did say that on the invite.
Looking forward to visiting Monzo HQ
What time is it 18:30 or 19:00?
Iâm on dev beta 4 (released yesterday) and no issues on either of Monzo apps
Someone set the time wrong? Itâs counting down to 7:00 on youtube
Really enjoyed this. Thanks for streaming.
Just did my first semi large relevant bank transfer⌠no idea if it went through haha but happy Iâve got the functionality

Went earlier, was a good evening.
Interesting points I noted from the talk:
- Around 3/4 of the 300k+ users are active users
- There have been two buyout approaches in the last month alone.
- Cool drinks bottle openers on the walls (but they really need to attach some buckets below them as the bottle tops go all over the floor at present )
Was also good speaking with @Naji and some fellow Monzonauts over a beer after the talk.
So, how do I now whether Iâm one of those 219 lucky elected people to have got a current account?
Very unlikely, but there is not a clear explanation for this.
Youâre explicitly invited to an event, along with instructions of what to bring etc. If you have an account, youâd know
First standing order for Rent worked perfectly
Something else I thought was interesting regarding the current accounts - they mentioned theyâre aiming on having 1,000 users by the end of the first month, then 5,000 by the end of the second, and 20,000 by the third. Once they know they can handle that many, theyâre confident theyâll be able to open it up to everyone so thatâll be October-ish.
Tom did Itâs important to bear in mind that he also stressed that, that wasnât a commitment though & those plans may change
Anyone able to give feedback on the budgeting features in the current account just yet?
Right now itâs the same as the prepaid account in terms of setting targets and categorising your spending.
Iâm guessing that youâre referring to the new Breakdown design? None of the features that Hugoâs previewed in #sneak-peek posts are in the current account app yet. Which also means that prepaid users arenât missing out on those
When are the next rollouts planned My salary is incoming on the 15th, so would be pretty sweet to have it by then!
Oh ok. Iâd just assumed it would be. I donât feel quite so desperate to get my hands on a current account now. The breakdown page is my #1 wanted feature.
