A minimum £20 withdrawal from an ATM?! Plus £3 fee on top of that.

Suddenly £1 to deposit money doesn’t seem so bad…

Maybe one of the mods should place an article towards the benefit of Monzo at the top of this thread just in case someone looks at Viola on google and ends up here

I wonder if someone in Monzo could use adwords to advertise Monzo as… “Move to Monzo Quickly and Simply in 1… 2… 3… Viola” :rofl: :joy:

It’s also not a great word to use to be perfectly honest due to it’s meaning in Spanish & Porgugese - See Violar - expand the Conjugations

Am I reading those fees correctly?

Charges if you don’t use your card? Eh?

Don’t tell them that, they think they are the future not the past…

None of the links on that page work…you click more about being charged and it refreshes the page, you click the App Store logo and it opens the same page in a new tab

Very weird

My favourite Viola things:

  • Limit of 50 Apple Pay transactions per year. Lol
  • £3 to use an ATM in the UK. Lolol
  • YOU’LL CHARGE ME £2 IF I DON’T USE THE CARD IN A FOUR MONTH PERIOD!

Money management? HAHAHAHAHA.

Well, Uaccount is still going, so someone is paying those fees

58

Maximum number of loads is 3 a month and 50 a year (though surely it would be 36). That in itself is crazy for a prepaid card.

Are we certain that Monzo isn’t behind this?..

Creating a crappy fake competitor to highlight all the great things about Monzo?

@Rosie I can assure you that we’re not nearly so close yet to scraping the bottom of the “marketing strategies” barrel as this! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
