Trying to transfer money from my CA to my regular bank so I can shift it to the prepay (having not spotted that the CA is no use for cash abroad)
It tells me “almost done - to finish setting up Touch ID we’ll need to ask you a couple of questions”. It tells me to turn on Touch ID (which was already on)…and then it goes to a “Conversations with Monzo Bank” screen, which shows “No conversations with Monzo Bank yet” and sits there silently until my screen powers down.
Any clues? Is my cash destined to remain useless to me abroad?
Will the CA account actually work at all abroad? sigh
Yes the reduced hours was mentioned in the notes when agreeing to use the preview prior to the official launch, you can however if you have the prepaid app too try seeing if anyone there can help you in the circumstances… depends who you get
Why don’t you just top up the prepaid card using your CA debit card?
Also, your CA card will work find at shops, etc. And if there are chip ATMs in Malta, it will work in them too. The only limitation (as compared with the prepaid) in this situation is the lack of magstripe.
