How Monzo helps control your spending

Read the article

Monzo has become an amazing tool which over 130,000 cardholders use to get greater insights into their spending. First of all, customers are notified every time when their cards are used.

Monzo tracks your spending

We already automatically categorise every one of your purchases and show you spending breakdowns over the month, but Targets takes budgeting to a whole new level.

You can now set your own spending targets per category per month, personalised to you and tailored to your historical spending.

Monzo sets budget targets

Once you’ve set up Targets, Monzo sends you intelligent notifications to warn if you’re spending too fast. As you near your limits, the bars change from green, to orange, to red, and you’ll get notifications when you go over your target. You can tweak your targets at any time to suit your lifestyle or plans for the upcoming month.

Monzo notifies you when you exceed your budget targets

At the end of each month, you’ll receive a spending report detailing exactly what you’ve spent and letting you dive into the details. You can then use this to change your targets for the next month and keep on track!
