Want to join Monzo and have joint account with wife but share email with her. How do I set up separate personal account?
Create your own email address and apply for an account.
Hi @Sarah34 & welcome ![]()
One of you will need a different email address. You both need to open a Personal account first (each using an individual email) to be able to then apply for a Joint account. As you likely wonât use the Personal accounts, the email doesnât really matter - only that itâll be what you log in to the Monzo app with AND youâll need access to it on the same devices youâre logging into. Monzo emails a secure link to you, to allow you to log into your account if you are logged out or change devices.
It takes 2 seconds to create an email account and itâs free.
You can use + notation with almost all email providers (anything compliant with the standards anyway).
So you can sarah34+monzo1@ and sarah34+monzo2@ and thatâs two different emails but both will arrive in your inbox (itâs a useful thing to use with retailers to see who is selling emails to spam lists).
Whether monzo will treat them as different I canât be sure as I havenât tried to open two accountsâŠ
