You can now pay cash into your Monzo account!

Just used it for the first time :tada: (successfully at least… I was the first Monzo user to have a failed PayPoint topup :sunglasses: - a couple of weeks ago)

Anyway :smiley: The Monzo-side experience was perfect, notification, 10 minute wait, money in the account available to do with what I please :grin:

The PayPoint-side of things was less seamless… :sweat_smile: (nothing I couldn’t cope with though :wink:)

I handed my card over, there was a triple take… “Mastercard?!”, “Monzo?”, “TopUp?” - a bunch of confusion, 3 failed attempts (as the cashier was inserting my card instead of swiping it - very important).

So I asked them to take a photo of the error message, I was prepared to disappointed that it hadn’t been enabled across all of PayPoint’s network but then I realised the cashier was inserting my card into the machine, I asked them to swipe it (for attempt number 4 :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:) and tada! It worked :tada:

So just a word of advice, make sure that the person operating the PP machine swipes your card and doesn’t insert it :slight_smile:
Perhaps that should be added to the Add Money screen @nickrw? :slight_smile:
