What We Know About the Current Accounts & Debit Cards / FAQ 🏩 💳 (open Wiki)

As the launch of Monzo’s current accounts & debit cards gets closer, I expect there will be more & more posts asking about features & updates so I thought I’d create this Wiki to pull together all of the details that Monzo’s confirmed so far.

This Wiki is only intended to cover features that are part of the current accounts & debit cards or features which can only be built once they launch.

During Initial Testing

From this blog post.

  • The debit card you receive initially with the current account will need to be replaced at some point later this year with an updated version. This is no longer the case. Preview card holders will have the option to update to a new card with updated chip settings, but the original debit card will continue to work fine.
  • You will download a separate Monzo app for the current account and your existing prepaid card will continue to work like normal. In the future, you’ll be able to use just one app and close your prepaid account.
