The only thing that should be improved with this bank is that transfers between different banks are more difficult and can take up to 2–4 business days. Otherwise, it is very useful and simple to use.... See more

Hi there- we can understand the fee on your account can be unexpected, as a new pricing plan has been introduced for customers on the Pay As You Go plan, which includes a fee for incoming transfers received into the account.
For customers on the paid plan, incoming transfers are free.
You can find more information about our plans and fees on our Pricing Page here. https://www.monese.com/our-pricing

They charged me a whopping £4.99 for the card. Then they charged me £2.50 for the plan and a commission. I didn't even have time to open an account and I'm already almost £10 short. It just happened for no reason. I wanted to install the app on another phone, but they blocked me. And there's no way to contact them. I'm shocked. It turns out they scammed me and blocked me. There's no live chat or phone number. Only an email address where they take months to respond. I don't recommend this scam to anyone. Be careful when scamming people!
