@anon73218615 this is definitely an issue with our prepaid program.
Especially when customers load all their money onto Monzo and then go travel to a location where the Monzo card doesn’t work (up until today a country with magstripe ATMs, for example).
We’re not going to address this in the prepaid card because it’s a lot of work involving multiple third parties. Once we offer current accounts this will of course be supported.
A realistic estimate for a full current account is end of Q1 2017 (not for a full release but for a limited test, just like we did with prepaid)
